Monique Samuels Makes a Grand Return to The Real Housewives of Potomac
A New Chapter Begins
The reality TV landscape is buzzing with excitement as Monique Samuels makes her much-anticipated return to The Real Housewives of Potomac. After taking a break following an explosive fifth season in 2020, Monique is back—and this time, she’s joining the cast in a “Friend” role for Season 10. Filming is already underway in Maryland, and familiar faces such as Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Dr. Wendy Osefo, Keiarna Stewart, and Stacey Rusch will also be part of the ensemble.
Life After Divorce
This return comes at a pivotal moment for the 41-year-old. Monique recently finalized her divorce from former NFL player Chris Samuels after an eleven-year marriage. The couple shares three children: Christopher (12), Milani (9), and Chase (6). A close source revealed that Monique is ready to embrace this new chapter, stating, "She’s excited to show who she is now—not as a wife or just a mom, but as a woman starting over and taking on life on her own terms."
A Fan-Favorite on the Comeback Trail
First stepping onto the scene in 2017, Monique quickly became a fan favorite thanks to her contagious charisma and unapologetic authenticity. However, her tumultuous feud with castmate Candiace Dillard Bassett during Season 5 led her to walk away from the franchise, citing the negative impact on her family and mental well-being. At the time, she declared, “When you cross certain lines, there’s no going back. And for me, my family is that line.”
Expectations Rising
As The Real Housewives of Potomac gears up for its Season 10 premiere later this year, fans are eager to see how Monique reinvents herself in this next phase. Viewers can expect a more confident and empowered version of Monique who is excited to share her journey of self-discovery.
With the cameras rolling and her new life unfolding, one thing is for sure: Monique Samuels is ready to reclaim her spotlight and fill our screens with her larger-than-life presence once again. Stay tuned, because this is just the beginning of what promises to be an electrifying season!
