Monique Samuels and Chris Samuels are speaking out about the word on the street.
After reports stated that the couple—who appeared on the Real Housewives of Potomac for four seasons—were separating after 10 years of marriage, the pair denied there was any truth to the rumors.
"Are Chris and I getting a divorce? No, we're not getting a divorce," Monique said, while sitting alongside Chris, in an Oct. 17 YouTube video. "Are Chris and I going our separate ways? Absolutely not."
However, as Monique explained, amid the pair getting ready for the second season of their current show on OWN, Love & Marriage: DC, they have been going through a "process," which included both parties spending time alone at their respective homes.
"The process that we were going through in order to fix our marriage [was] by working on our personal issues," Monique—who is mom to kids Christopher, 9, Milani, 7, and Chase, 3, with Chris—shared. "We wanted to take a step back and focus on ourselves. If I'm not good, I'm not good for him or my children. If he's not good, he's not good for himself, me or the children."
Added Monique, "We decided that we would spend some nights apart so we can give each other space, while we're on our counseling journey…We've actually been communicating better than we have been for a very long time."
Most recently, Monique's former co-star, Ashley Darby, also hinted at this year's BravoCon that the Love & Marriage star was "going through" a tough time in her life. As for that statement, Monique completely understands why it was said because there is truth to the suggestion.
"I am and was going through something," the mom of three said. "She wasn't lying. We're all going through something…We have been going through it... Listen, marriage is work."
But elsewhere in their sit-down, Monique made their relationship status more than clear: "We are most definitely still together. We haven't given up on our marriage. We didn't break up and we're not looking to divorce."
