Gizelle Bryant’s Ex-Husband Jamal Bryant Explains His Enlightened Stance on Co-Parenting, but Fans only Want to Discuss His Cheating

Gizelle Bryant’s ex-husband is disclosing how the former spouses co-parent with one another, but fans are not here for what he has to say.

On “Sister Circle” Wednesday, Sept. 19, Jamal Bryant shared how he and “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star care for their three daughters as former spouses.

“We’re still family,” Jamal tells the hosts. “So having to navigate that is not any space for the children to play one against another. Because all of our children are now in middle school. We talk twice a day before the kids go to school and before they go to bed, so there’s no way that we can navigate around not being in contact.

“Because we have all girls, I’m intentional that the girls are able to see how I treat their mom,” he continues. “So, while we are divorced, I still have to date her in front of them so they know how mom is supposed to be treated. It is not just what they ought to trust when they grow up but whatever man comes into Gizelle’s life, has to reach the standard of how their father treats her.”

The pastor and the RHOP star were married for about eight years and divorced in 2009. Gizelle has opened up about how her ex-husband’s infidelity led her to file the papers. Fans who were privy to that information lashed out at him as a result.

“Okay…their mother says you cheated multiple times. They won’t forget that.”

“This sound like straight game and he feeding off they energy! Man bye!”

“How about you not cheat in the first place!!!”

“He is so fake..he should have thought of this before.”

“Didn’t he cheat on his ex-wife several times? I get the co-parent thing but if he did right by her during the marriage he could actually be at home all the time to show their daughters how a man is supposed to treat them.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

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.
