What is Chris and Vanessa Spencer's net worth? Inside the secret love story and marriage of 'Love & Hip Hop' hosts
Being married for nearly 15 years is nothing short of a huge accomplishment in this day and age. But producer-actor-comedian Chris Spencer and his wife Vanessa Spencer make it look like a cakewalk.
The couple is all set to host VH1's 'Love & Hip Hop' special 'Love & Hip Hop: It's a Love Thing'. Chris and Vanessa will be joined by other beautiful couples from the popular franchise, who will be discussing their love story, and all about their relationships. Although the cast members' love stories are definitely very interesting, even the hosts, Chris and Vanessa's, relationship deserves some attention.

What happened to Chris Spencer's show 'Real Husbands of Hollywood'?
The couple has been married since 2006. Since the couple maintains a relatively low profile when it comes to their private life, not much was known about their relationship and love story. Luckily, they decided to open up to the world in 2017 on OWN's docuseries 'Black Love'.
In the pilot episode of the hit docu-series, Chris and Vanessa spoke about how the magic began for the couple. Here's all the scoop.
How did Chris and Vanessa meet?
The couple met at a soul plane party. Chris described the moment of first seeing her to a scene from the movie, 'The Godfather', where Michael Corleone moves to Italy after killing McCluskey. When Micheal was in Italy, he sees Apollonia for the first time and feels like he had been hit by a thunderbolt. Chris swears that he felt the same way when he first saw Vanessa.
In the documentary, they spoke about how Vanessa was ready to walk away from her relationship with Chris despite being in love with him because it reminded her too much of a previous relationship.
In the earlier relationship, she was reportedly strung along by her partner, because that person didn't know what they wanted. When she felt that her relationship with Chris too was headed in the same direction, she decided to end things with him. It was during this rough breakup that the couple finally said 'I love you' to each other for the first time.
The couple eventually ended up staying with each other and getting married in 2006. They have two beautiful children together. Even after several years, Chris still spares no opportunity to declare his love for his wife to the world. He frequently posts pictures of her with lovely captions.
Last year on Vanessa's birthday, Chris took to his Instagram to post a cute picture of him on his knees begging Vanessa. He captioned the picture: "Happy Birthday to my bride @vspencerbx22 If we were to renew our vows, this is how I would propose to you. I would beg you to continue to give me the life, love and honesty you’ve given me, to continue to educate and nurture our beautiful children. I would beg you to continue to spread your wit, humor and intelligence throughout our culture, our people, our world. There is no one on this earth, AND I MEAN NO ONE, like you. I love you madly. Happy Birthday, Baby."
Along with their love, the couple also managed to grow their net worth over the years. Chris and Vanessa's net worth is estimated at $2 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
