Fans have watched Gizelle Bryant’s romantic life play out on The Real Housewives of Potomac for years — from a failed marriage to a reconciliation, to dating Winter House’s Jason Cameron. But now Gizelle’s determined to get it right, and the timing’s perfect for her to check into Bravo’s Love Hotel.
“So, I have successfully managed to get all of my three daughters off to college,” she shared in a preview of Season 1, Episode 1, airing Sunday, April 27 at 9/8c on Bravo. “So, I am officially something called an empty nester. I don’t like that word. I think it’s a little weird. However, I am that thing.”
She previously told The Daily Dish that she doesn’t call it empty nesting, she calls it Gizelle “full throttle.”
“With business, I would have to always rush home to get them. And same with dating as well,” she said of the title. “But now it’s just I do whatever I want to do. It’s all about me and making myself happy.”
Gizelle might be single and ready to mingle at the Love Hotel, but in the season premiere, she is keeping her options open.
What did Gizelle reveal about her reconciliation with Jamal?
Gizelle first confirmed she was back together with her ex-husband Jamal Bryant during Season 4 of RHOP, which aired in the fall of 2019.
“You know, I look back, and I just feel like nobody is what their mistakes are. And I feel like he’s a different person, I’m a different person,” she shared at the reunion. “So, we are baby-stepping, but we are moving into the direction that we want to move into.”
Gizelle and Jamal were married for eight years, and had three daughters together, but the marriage ended due to his infidelity. Gizelle described him in the Season 1 RHOP premiere as a “cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater.” It turns out the reconciliation didn’t go well either.
“I got back together with my ex,” Gizelle shared on Love Hotel. “It was great until it wasn’t. And then he left.”
Jamal remarried in 2024, and now Gizelle said she’s ready to find her person again too.
“I haven’t necessarily been taking dating very seriously,” she said on Love Hotel. “Now I have to really be vulnerable, so to find a man in which I can just be soft and sweet and kind and cuddly.”
