Monique Samuels is happily exploring a new romance, but Gizelle Bryant had one rather important question about the man in her life.
During RHOP Season 11, Monique confirmed she was seeing someone new.
However, the conversation quickly became complicated when Gizelle questioned whether Monique Samuels’ boyfriend was completely available.
Gizelle Bryant questions Monique Samuels’ new relationship
Monique discussed her love life during the cast’s trip to Delaware in Episode 5. According to Bravo, she told the women the relationship was “very, very new” and that she wanted to give it time.
Gizelle had already heard some tea. She asked whether Monique’s mystery man was an “old boo” and said she had heard a man was “leaving his wife.”
Monique did little to shut down Gizelle’s theory. When Gizelle asked whether the man was now fully available, Monique replied that he was “getting there.” Still, she emphasized that they were taking things slowly.
Bravo identified the man as Monique’s former radio co-host Jason Weems. Monique previously discussed their relationship during a December 2025 appearance on Angela Yee’s Lip Service podcast.
She explained that she and Jason became close while she was navigating her 2023 divorce from Chris Samuels. According to Monique, Jason was also separated at the time and living in the same house as his spouse. What began as a friendship eventually became emotionally intimate and then romantic.
Monique’s new relationship comes a few years after she and Chris Samuels finalized their divorce in 2023 following more than a decade of marriage.
Despite Gizelle’s questions, Monique seems optimistic about where the relationship could go. She admitted in a confessional that she could see the romance becoming something more serious.
Gizelle and Monique have also entered this season on much better terms. Their reconciliation developed during Season 10, with Gizelle later saying she had gained “newfound respect” for their relationship.
Whether Jason’s marital situation is fully resolved remains unclear. For now, Monique appears content to let her new relationship develop slowly while Gizelle continues asking questions about his availability.
