Gizelle Bryant is ready to kiss and tell (a little) about her relationship with NFL veteran Shawn Springs.
In Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek of the Sunday, November 2, episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac, the ladies continue their cast trip by sparking a conversation about love and dating.
“I realized I need to be serious about my future and about a man,” Gizelle, 55, tells the group over drinks. “My father — before he passed — I remember one conversation that we had. ‘Look, you got to find a man that fits like a comfortable shoe.’”
While that sounds nice and lovely, Dr. Wendy Osefo is ready to get into the meat and potatoes of the issues.

“Have you guys had sex?” she asks.
Gizelle replies, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Wendy, 41, follows up by asking if Shawn, 50, has met Gizelle’s three daughters, whom she shares with ex-husband Jamal Bryant.
While Gizelle stays mum in the moment by saying “I’m not talking anymore,” she is able to provide some more details in a separate confessional interview.
“Actually, only one of my daughters Grace has met him, and she thinks he’s age appropriate,” the “Reasonably Shady” podcast host shares. “And she thinks that he’s checking the boxes.”
Earlier this season, Gizelle made it clear that her relationship with Shawn wasn’t too serious. In fact, she told the group that she was single. (Shawn previously played cornerback for the Washington Commanders and New England Patriots after graduating from the Ohio State University.)
“If I’m around anyone, these girls automatically assume this is my boyfriend and he’s gonna be my fiancé and then he’s gonna be my husband,” she shared in a confessional interview. “And actually, that’s not how life works.”
Regardless of where things really stand, Wendy is content to see her costar happy and playing the field — no pun intended.
“The thing about Gizelle is she protects her heart,” Wendy says in Sunday’s upcoming episode. “That’s why as someone who knows her and now can say she is my friend, I am so happy for you because I know whether you admit it or not, you are happy.”
The heartfelt comment catches Gizelle by surprise. After all, these two haven’t exactly been BFFs over the years.
“This is very nice of Wendy to be concerned about what my future looks like,” she shares in a confessional. “OK Wendy, I think we are friends.”
Breaking Down RHOP Star Wendy Osefo and Husband’s Arrest for Fraud
While it’s unclear where the pair stand after filming came to an end, Gizelle recently spoke out about Wendy’s arrest on fraud charges. (Wendy has denied the claims and vowed to fight them in court.)
“I’m so disappointed,” Gizelle said on the October 27 episode of her “Reasonably Shady” podcast. “I immediately thought, first of all, huge disappointment. Sad, right, because this is so sad for their children. Guilty or innocent, their parents were removed from their house and brought down to a police station, and charged. They have mugshots, that is, I’m sure, super scary for their children, so sad.”
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs on Bravo Sundays at 8 p.m. ET. Stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.
