During her previous stint on the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Sheree Whitfield’s storyline was how she was working to create a life without her husband, former NFL star Bob Whitfield.
Recent RHOA episodes have shown how both Sheree and Bob Whitfield have started to rekindle the relationship they had when they were married.
“Bob and I are working on getting to know each other again. We both have grown a lot and are in a different space than we were when we were married. We are in the process of relearning each other. I can say that we are happy with how things are going and our children our happy. #LifeIsGood for #TheWhitfields,” Sheree wrote for BRAVO TV.
Bob Whitfield shares Sheree’s sentiments.
“Here’s the thing, the previous relationship was so damaged,” Bob said in a recent interview. “Two adults, we wouldn’t dare to venture into a relationship, but we are exploring each other’s company, I will say.”
Bob Whitfield advised they are taking things slowly.
“Having been around the person, you can in your mind think about, ‘Hey, it used to be good when it was good, but when it was bad, it was hella bad,’” he said. “So when you get to the person, you might be like, ‘S***, I need to have my knife in my back pocket just in case.’”
Bob Whitfield said the occasion that ignited their relationship was their daughter’s birthday last July.
“It started because of the birthday party,” he said. “It was kind of a festive occasion and it was a bowling alley party. So now drinks are involved, jokes are involved, different type of mood. So then it’s like, ‘Let’s try breakfast…’ take it easy and just go little bit by little.”
“We had our differences and our problems,” he continues, “but I never just gave up on her. I feel like I’ve invested a lot. We’ve invested a lot in each other, so I’m not going to just scrap my investment to her. You kept the name for a reason.”
Here’s what else they had to say:
Fans of RHOA will remember that Tammy McCall found herself at odds with Sheree Whitfield when she confronted on charged that she slept with her then-husband. The She by Sheree creator has decided to relinquish the suspicions she has long held onto.
“At this point I have moved beyond Bob’s past transgressions. I can only look forward to my future. If he did sleep with Tammy, nothing I say, think, or do can change that!” Sheree said.
However, Bob said in an interview that Sheree hasn’t let go of the issue at all.
“Because Tammy is of the era when me and Sheree’s relationship became tumultuous, I think Sheree won’t let the sleeping dogs lie,” Bob said. “I still feel that it’s unresolved maybe?”
Although Bob refers to McCall as a “friend,” he rather suspiciously explained that he’s enjoying having both women in his life.
“For most people, I think that they would have a real enjoyment to have two people to covet,” he admitted. “And there’s different types of experiences with everybody, so it’s not going to be the same conversation between the two people. So I always looked at it like you can have friends and lovers, [just don’t] commingle the two.”
