The Real Housewives of Potomac star Gizelle Bryant has had some constant ups and downs in her personal life, mainly her relationship with her ex-husband Jamal Bryant.
The former couple married in 2002 and decided to part ways after seven years, in 2009. While they were married, they were blessed with three daughters: Grace, Angel, and Adore Bryant.
Although Gizelle and Jamal got divorced in 2009, they still kept a friendly relationship. Besides, Jamal, a pastor, even used to appear frequently in RHOP while he was in the Potomac area.
Gizelle and Jamal Rekindled Their Relationship In 2019
In 2019, the reality TV star and the pastor decided to leave past things behind and started a long-distance romantic relationship. Besides, in April 2020, Gizelle even teased that she was “not opposed” to sharing the wedding vows with Jamal again.

However, the long-distance relationship took a toll on their rekindled togetherness. Additionally, the widespread COVID-19 pandemic caused nationwide lockdown due to which they were not able to meet with each other, and the only way to contact each other was through virtual means.
Soon, there were communication gaps, and their relationship was falling apart once again. Their deteriorating togetherness was also seen during season 5 of RHOP when Gizelle agreed to Karen Huger’s observation about her falling relationship with Jamal.
They Separated Once Again
As already mentioned above, Gizelle and Jamal’s newfound long-distance relationship wasn’t working. Due to that, the former married duo decided to call it quits once again in May 2021.
In June 2021, Gizelle officially announced her split with Jamal via E! News. While announcing the news, she pointed out that she and Jamal are still the best of friends and there are no issues there. Then, she added;
I've known Jamal for 25 years. I know who and what he is. I know what our relationship is. So it didn't play a part [in our split].
Likewise, in another exclusive interview with E! News on July 8, 2021, the reality TV star gave some more insights on the end of her rekindled romance with her ex-husband. She mentioned that they were a victim of the pandemic.
Continuing her statement, she stated that she doesn’t think any long-distance relationship can really withstand for such a long time without seeing each other.
Listen, we were a victim of the pandemic. I don't think any long-distance relationship can really withstand not seeing each other.
Concluding her statement, she told that Jamal will still be in her life as one of her best friends, but won’t be in something called a relationship.

In addition, some were also concerned if they have any objection to her mother being single now and dating someone else. Well, it looks like the former couple’s children don’t have any objection to those topics, neither on Gizelle’s split with Jamal nor on Gizelle looking to start a new relationship with another man.
In the above-mentioned interview with E! News, the RHOP star told that her daughters are eager to see their mother get back out there once again. She also said that her kids will always take her lead and they want her to be happy, one way or another.
They will always take my lead and they just want me to be happy, one way or another.
In addition to that, she told, “To be honest with you, we were all in a pandemic and they really didn't care because they were doing school virtually, their life was at that point in the dumps, in their mind.”
