‘You Glow When You’re Not on That Show’: Fans Encourage Mariah Huq to Drop ‘Married to Medicine’

Mariah Huq looked radiant in an Instagram post from Tuesday, May 12. Huq, a reality star and show runner of “Married to Medicine,” admitted that her glow came from her perfect Mother’s Day weekend. Huq’s husband, Dr. Aydin Huq, planned a special celebration for his wife.

Mariah sported what appeared to be a black-and-white dress embellished with an ornate yellow pattern. She purchased her outfit from the clothing store Zephans & Co, which is located in Lagos, Nigeria. The 41-year-old accessorized her showy piece with sunglasses, silver drop earrings, a few bangles, and her large diamond wedding ring. The mother of two struck her pose by showing off her pearly white teeth and placing her hands on her hips.

Although she didn’t spill the deets about her amazing holiday, she hinted in her caption that she’d had a remarkable day, saying, “Feels great to be loved!” Over 11,000 fans reacted to Huq’s post, with many claiming that her Mother’s Day glow actually came from her taking a step back from her hit reality show.

“You are glowing ❤️.”

A few weeks ago, Huq shared on Instagram that she has yet to receive her season 8 contract for the reality show. Huq fell out with longtime best friend Quad Webb in season 6. Huq, a native of Tennessee, claimed Webb slept with her brother-in-law basing this accusation on a claim that she and her sister went to Webb’s house and saw Webb wearing her brother-in-law’s T-shirt and smelling like him and his business cards. The 40-year-old Webb continues to deny the accusations.

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.
