“I hope I get married again,” NeNe added. “I’m just saying I don’t have to. If I met a guy and he said I don’t want to get married, that is not a big deal to me. I understand life partners and that’s fine too.”
As for what the reality star considers most important when it comes to maintaining long-lasting marriage?
“I believe in order to have a successful relationship, one, you have to have communication,” she told E!, “and, two, I believe you guys have to respect one another.”
In fact, NeNe is putting her relationship expertise to good use on her new Lifetime series Outrageous Love, where she weighs in on the trials, triumphs and tribulations of real-life couples.
“I’m a hopeless romantic and I was married for almost 25 years, so I feel like I have a really good idea about what relationships are and how they work,” she explained. “It’s a great show, it’s super funny. I love watching the clips of couples and we get a lot of crazy couples out here. Outrageous Love is super fun.”
Outrageous Love With NeNe Leakes airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on Lifetime. And keep reading for E!’s definitive ranking of every Real Housewife ever.
