NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Racquel Chevremont is ready to make her television debut in the upcoming season 15 of 'Real Housewives of New York City.' Talking about her love life, the LGBTQIA+ art curator was previously in a nine-year-long relationship with a visual artist named Mickalene Thomas. Racquel and Mickalene began dating in 2011, and Mickalene even proposed to her during their relationship. At the time, they were regarded as a power couple in the art world. The two co-founded an art curation company called Deux Femmes Noires.

Like any relationship, Racquel and Mickalene's romance experienced its share of ups and downs. Unfortunately, despite being together for almost a decade, they failed to work things out. The couple didn't publicly confirm their relationship until 2022 when they announced their split to Page Six. "We ended our long-term personal relationship but remain committed to completing our current projects as Deux Femmes Noires,” the pair said in a statement at that time. However, the former couple maintains a professional relationship, focusing on the projects of their art company. It seems like they have kept their personal history aside for the sake of their professional commitments.
