The RHOA cast member opened up about her future with dating after the end of her marriage to her ex-husband, Chuvalo Mark Ferrell.
Kelli Ferrell is "officially divorced" from her ex-husband, Chuvalo Mark Ferrell, as of this year. The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 cast member and mom of four is now looking to the future, which could include dating someone if she meets the right person.
The Nana's Chicken-N-Waffles founder spoke with The Daily Dish in April, where she revealed that she would be "open" to dating someone new after her divorce. "I love love," she admitted.
But, she doesn't see herself tying the knot with a new person. "I feel like maybe I'll never get married again," she noted.
Kelli's oldest daughter, Chloe, who she has from a previous relationship, admitted during RHOA Season 16, Episode 6, that she doesn't want to get married after seeing what her mom had been through in her marriage. "I really don't want to get married," Chloe said. "Cause what if I end up like you? That's a scary thought. No offense to you."
Is Kelli Ferrell dating anyone after her ex-husband?
No she is not. But she isn't ruling it out, either. "I'm open to dating," she told The Daily Dish earlier this spring. "I would love to have someone to do life with. A partner. A life partner. So I guess we'll see what the future holds."
Kelli Ferrell opens up about co-parenting with her ex-husband
Kelli had been married to Mark for 11 years before splitting in 2022. The entrepreneur and cookbook author told The Daily Dish that she's still trying to "figure it all out" in the wake of their divorce, especially since they share three daughters together. "I feel good," she said. "Even though it's official, it feels like things don't end. You have to still co-parent with someone that you're trying to heal from."
"I'm trying to figure it all out, single mom life is definitely not for the weak," she continued. "I'm handling it with as much grace as I can. I am so grateful for my daughters."
Kelli Ferrell opens up about showing "the good and the bad" moments with her ex, Chuvalo Mark Ferrell
During an episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta After Show, Kelli admitted that she wanted to show all sides of herself and her relationship with her ex. "Being a wife for 11 years, you know, I've had my shares of the ups and downs," she said. "And I wanted to make sure that when I joined this platform, I was able to give light and share awareness of the good and the bad."
"My life wasn't horrible for 11 years," she continued. "Right? Like I was able to have some good moments. I had three beautiful children with my ex-husband, I have four children total. But 11 years, something had to be right. We didn't make it through the next 20, so with the good and the bad, sometimes you can handle some, and sometimes you can't handle the others. But what God has for you, God has for you."
