Pastor Jamal Bryant

The green-eyed breakout star of Bravo’s new hopeful hit, The Real Housewives of Potomac, Gizelle Bryant, appears as if she has it all–beauty, brains and wealth, but life has not always been a crystal stair for her, particularly married life.  Bryant reveals how her “best friend,” ex-husband and megachurch pastor Pastor Jamal Bryant was reportedly a serial cheater and how she has learned to move past it.

Gizelle and Jamal, who have three daughters together, were a power couple married for seven years.  The former model says that the years she spent with her husband were “blissful,” until she discovered not only had he been unfaithful but had reportedly, fathered an illegitimate child during their union, “I decided I was not going to continue to stay in a relationship in which there was not a major commitment. I’m an old-fashioned girl and if you’re going to commit, commit.”
