The much-awaited Season 5 premiere of 'Real Housewives of Potomac' is finally here! The Potomac ladies spared no time in delivering us the drama, right off the bat. The premiere episode saw housewife Gizelle Bryant breaking some big news about her personal life on the show. The housewife revealing her plan of rekindling her relationship with her ex-husband- Jamal Bryant.

Jamal Bryant, who is a pastor in Atlanta, was married to the reality star for seven years. The couple share three daughters together. Their happy married life came to an abrupt end after Gizelle found out that Jamal was cheating on her. His infidelity forced the housewife to divorce her husband and focus on herself and raising their three daughters.

So, when we first saw Gizelle on 'RHOP', we saw her as a single mom, juggling between raising her daughters and managing her makeup empire. After nearly a decade of divorce, the housewife claims that she came to the realization that no man can love her girls like Jamal, and that she still has feelings for him, which pushed her to come to the decision of giving their relationship another shot.

When Gizelle broke the news of rekindling with their father to her daughters, the girls were far from pleased. The girls expressed their concern with their mother's decision by explaining how Jamal hurt her in the past and questioning his present intentions. They also pointed out that whenever he is around, they don't feel like a whole family because they feel like they are third-wheeling their parents' relationship. Despite her daughters' concerns, Gizelle seems hell-bent on going back to her ex-husband.

While Gizelle is trying her best to show the world that she is completely smitten by Jamal, fans are refusing to buy it. Several fans took to their Twitter to declare that Gizelle and Jamal's relationship is "fake". A fan tweeted, "I can't tell if Gizelle and Jamal's reunion is genuine and her daughters are really just struggling with it, or if it's fake and they're just not with the bullsh*t. #RHOP."



 

Another fan wrote, "Even the kids see its fake asf lmaoooooooo Gizelle mad asf the kids arent playing it up with her. After that other fake relationship fell apart and the man refused to come on the show now here she go with Jamal How U Dewin a** #RHOP."



 

"Jamal sound so uninterested in Gizelle but Im guessing he benefits from this fake reunion just as much as she does #RHOP," pointed out a fan.



 

"Gizelle triggered by all the Jamal questions because her 'back together' is fake. Not even her daughters buying it #storyline #RHOP," expressed a fan.



 

"See even Giselle's girls know this relationship is weird and fake. #RHOP and they know Jamal made babies outside the marriage. The girls are probably embarrassed. Gizelle can't find an eligible man in the DMV?" wondered a fan.



 

'Real Housewives of Potomac' Season 5 airs every Sunday at 9/8c on Bravo.
