Drew Sidora, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, and her husband Ralph Pittman are headed for divorce after nine years together. Reports show that Ralph filed for their divorce this week, with no hope of reconciliation between the spouses.
Per People, court documents show that Pittman presented his petition to end their marriage on Monday, listing the separation date as last Thursday. The documents outrightly ruled out any hope of a reconciliation between the two, who wed in August 2014.
RHOA Hinted Signs Of Marital Woes Leading To Drew Sidora And Ralph Pittman’s Divorce
Before their split, Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman faced many pitfalls in their marriage, most of which were chronicled on RHOA. Last year, their marriage experienced a major crisis after Drew discovered a suspicious text message between her husband and a female assistant. Although Pittman eventually fired the assistant, the discovery left a dent in their marriage.
At the time, Drew confirmed that discovering her husband’s closeness to his assistant was hard on her, forcing her to abandon their home and leave for Chicago with her kids. Most of her RHOA co-stars supported her decision, describing Ralph’s behavior as disrespectful. They also called him out for gaslighting his wife, encouraging the TV personality to walk away.
However, Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman, who share two kids including a son, Machai, and a daughter Aniya, managed to avert an impending divorce. They eventually reconciled, resolving to fight for their marriage. The actress explained at the time:
“I’m in a situation where we have children, we’re moving to a new city — life is happening and people are growing as well as changing. It’s hard because sometimes you’re like, ‘do I need to stay in this marriage or am I better off by myself? Then I think to myself when two people commit and you keep committing to each other — What can we do to fix this?”
Notably, The Game actress is also a mom to an 11-year-old son, Josiah, from a previous relationship. For a while, their decision to finally “respect their relationship” and remain committed to each other seemed to pay off. Hence, the latest revelation of the RHOA stars’ split was one move no one saw coming despite their previous relationship fracas.
