Sheree Whitfield is in love and dying to marry her prisoner boyfriend! The Real Housewives of Atlanta star dropped the bombshell news during the latest show episode, even speaking to him of their wedding plans while on camera.
Whitfield was shopping with Porsha Williams when she revealed that, unlike Kenya Moore, she did not secretly tie the knot with Tyrone Gilliams.
"B*tch are you married?" Williams asked her, and she told her: "B*tch I am not married and when I do I'll have everyone there."
But Whitfield confessed: "When he gets out… I'll definitely marry him!!!"
Gilliams made an appearance on RHOA via a phone call, when Whitfield was with her life coach.
"I just back from working out. I'm doing the shape by Sheree program," Gilliams said flirting with Whitfield. "I start working out and start thinking about you. Thinking about how I'm going to carry you all around."
Whitfield loved the flirting and explained her history with Gilliams.
"We dated six years ago, and we dated until he stopped calling me. Then I find out four years later that he stopped calling because he was getting in trouble with the Feds but he didn't want me to get in trouble."
On the phone, Gilliams told Whitfield: "I wanted to tell you so bad what was going on but it had hit me out of nowhere. When the Feds come, you know, they come from all different directions."
Whitfield said that Gilliams had been in prison for four years but contacted her on her birthday a year and a half earlier, when she was dating someone else. "It took a long time for us to get where we are now."
The couple ended their short call saying: "Love you," to each other.
Whitfield told her life coach that she was in love with the prisoner. "We are exclusive. It gives me butterflies when he calls. I haven't had that in a long time."'
And she said she didn't care what the other RHOA ladies thought about him. "For some reason, I really don't give a sh*t anymore. I love him. I love how he treats me. I love the communication we have."
Her life coach questioned the chances the relationship would last but she told him he was hoping to be released by the end of the year.
"Tyrone fulfills me more than any man has," she said, and confessed that she had no fears about their relationship. "I know what we share. He's my soul mate. I'm taking a chance on love."
Prior to the love call with Gilliams, Whitfield told her three children the truth about her abusive relationship.
"I'm sure y'all are on the internet, y'all heard the story about the domestic violence in the household. You know, I just kind of kept you guys away from, didn't let you guys know what was going on. I just put on a happy face, but it was very toxic."
Her daughter Fuller said she was "in shock," and her son Kairo said he didn't know because she "never said anything about it."
Whitfield's other daughter, Kaleigh," said she spoke with her father about the situation. "Me and dad talked about it. He tried to explain the story to me, but I just drove off. It was after a soccer game, so I didn't think it was appropriate."
Whitfield explained why she finally told the children. "I was worried about the image of their dad and I protected this man for all of this time. "But he didn't protect me."
