After two seasons on the show, Gloria Govan announced that she would not be part of the third season and has not returned since. Off-screen, following her tumultuous split from Matthew Barnes which played out in a nasty public divorce battle, Govan went public with NBA coach and former professional player Derek Fisher. The couple tied the knot in 2021 and have since been raising their blended families together; composed of Govan’s two children with Barnes and Derek Fisher’s three children from a previous relationship.

News of Govan’s alleged guest return to the series comes just a month after theJasmineBRAND exclusively reported that her sister Laura Govan is said to be returning as well.
