NeNe Leakes Confesses Hubby Has 5 Kids From Previous Marriage + Brooke Bailey Announces She’s Not Returning to Basketball Wives

Bet you didn’t know that, did ya?

On the premiere episode of NeNe Leakes’ spin-off show, I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding, viewers learned an interesting tidbit. Greg, NeNe’s husband, was not only married before jumping the broom with this Real Housewives of Atlanta star, but he also has five children from this marriage. During the episode, NeNe told her youngest son:

He’s had a difficult time…you know he was married before. He’s been with us forever. It’s hard for him and his kids. Hopefully, Greg is going to get everything worked out.

The couple also had a therapy session, where she explained:

I feel like his kids have always been against me…It feels like they feel like I had something to do with Greg and their mom break-up…It’s jus so weird that you never tried to bring us together.

Interesting, right? It’ll be even more interesting to see how this plays out on the show. According to NeNe’s hints and promos from upcoming episodes, tension between one of Greg’s children (from his previous marriage) and NeNe hit an all time high.

And in other news, folk are still speculating about who is and isn’t returning to Basketball Wives LA. While we’re limited on what we can share about the show (contractually), we can share what the VH1 cast members are sharing on public forums. Recently, Brooke Bailey, who appeared last season on the show will not be returning. She shared the news on twitter, responding to a questions:

No word on why she isn’t returning, but she’s not the only one. Both Laura and Gloria Govan have also confirmed that they won’t be returning.

We recently interviewed Gloria who confirmed that they’d be saying ‘deuces’ to the show and had plans of their own non-scripted show:

We’re working on a family show – me and my sister, Gilbert, Matt, all of our kids – you know, my sister has got like 18 kids. I [was] just saying “Gosh! You have a lot of kids!” Yeah, it’s really 4. But it feels like 18, because they’re all over the place. So yeah, we’re doing a lot of stuff. We have a lot of stuff that we’re doing together which is really cool.

No confirmed reports on why they left, but there are rumors that they were asked not to return after Gloria secretly eloped in Las Vegas with now hubby Matt Barnes. What’s more? After last season, executive producer Shaunie O’Neal was very vocal about shaking things up again in the casting department. Anywho, what are your thoughts about the departures of Brooke Bailey, along with Laura and Gloria Govan? Great idea or potential disaster?
