“Married to Medicine” star Dr. Simone Whitmore is celebrating a milestone in her marriage after hitting pause on her divorce.

The Bravo celebrity’s initially said her marriage was over after her husband, Cecil Whitmore, refused to cut ties with a female friend named Tammy. The fallout — which resulted in the pair living separately — was captured on season five of the medical reality show but something changed during the reunion special, which aired in March.

“I do love you, I don’t want to get a divorce. I was being stubborn over something that doesn’t matter to me,” Cecil told his wife between filming the reunion. “I’m willing to do whatever and if that means that I’ve allowed a friend to come into our lives that shouldn’t be there, then it’s over.”

The bombshell came just hours after Dr. Whitmore had drafted the divorce papers that morning. And as for speculation about whether or not the couple stuck it out after cameras stopped rolling, the doctor told Bravo they were on the road to harmony.

“Cecil and I left the reunion committed to one another to work on our marriage,” she. “We are in counseling individually and together. We are still living separately but hopeful for a union under one roof soon.”

And by May, it seems as if everything is going well between the spouses. The Whitmores acknowledged 22 years of marriage on their Instagram accounts, with Cecil even flashing back to some memories from years past.

“Happy 22nd Anniversary @cecilcwhit! Never would have made it without God’s blessings! #endlesslove,” she posted on Instagram Friday, May 25.

Meanwhile, Cecil captioned his shoutout “5/25/96. Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife @drsswhit! 22 Years. It has been an amazing journey together. I LOVE YOU! Looking forward to our next 22. Swipe Left.”

In response, several fans have applauded the couple making it to more than two decades of marriage.

“Love wins!!! 🤩😍🤩😍 Happy Anniversary!!! 🥂,” someone said.

“Yassssss!!! Love love 💕,” another wrote.

“May God continue to bless your love journey together through thick and thin,” said another. “Keep God first.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
