How many times have they been married?
Gregg and NeNe Leakes married for the first time in 1997. They filed for divorce in 2011 after 14 years together, but began to see each other again the following year.
“Well… A little after midnight,” Nene told Jimmy Fallon in 2013, “I was asked this beautiful question: Will you marry me—again?” She said yes.
Much of their relationship has played out in the public eye, owing to NeNe’s involvement with Real Housewives of Atlanta since 2008.
