I'm 20, soon to be 21 in May. I want a man who will not only see me, but my flaws as well. I want man who loves me FOR ME! I have been through so many "relationships" (Dates never came to be, because they weren't ready.) It hurt, but I got over it. I was in a relationship and I found out that the guy had a child that looked a lot like him. He said she wasn't his child. We talked out getting married, but I broke it off after I found out that she was.
sexisaweapon lewis why When it comes to men women always saying that she’s settling glad that she’s not settle it sounds like to me he was a great man and she was a great woman and then just decided it was best if he became so he could be a wonderful man so to me I wouldn’t say she’s not because it makes me feel that the man is a nobody and women women can’t do any wrong So to me. She wasn’t settling she just wasn’t the one
@@curtisellerbe1756 um I think she talked about him cheating, and not giving her a key to his place...so yes, as like most of the time, this is textbook settling.
Update 2020: Adrienne is married to Israel Houghton and hopefully pregnant soon, Tamera has two beautiful kids, Tamar is not on the show any longer but dating a good looking Nigerian, Jeannie is engaged to Jeezy and Loni is dating a guy named James. Bye
Let's face it, we were all rooting for Adrienne and Lenny when we first learned they were engaged. Adrienne's fans were excited , her family was beyond estatic, and the girls at the table have been rooting for this since the beginning of season one ,I believe. I know we don't have the full story of what happened to their relationship, but I really want to applaud Adrienne for leaving or calling it off when she felt things weren't right between them. I'm glad she put aside our comments, and followed her heart, because if she did not do that, she would have been forced into something she really didn't want. Truly inspirational.
i was not rooting for them not because i didn't want her to be happy bt based on wht she said on the show he wouldnt be her first wife..he already had children plus he took so long to propose and hes older. i think those things played a part.
+KayBaby4eva i agree. once i found out the age difference i thought no way. this older dude took too long to propose and more than likely i doubt she was the only gf. she will find someone soon enough.
My heart is breaking for Adrienne. Just knowing that she's holding back tears makes me want to shed a tear! I'm glad she's taking this time for herself though.
Whatever the reason was, I commend Adrienne for being honest with herself and not going into a marriage that she felt in her heart wasn't going to last. I know she says that they are great friends and that's fine but Im proud of her for having the courage to not stay in a relationship that she knew wouldn't lead to marriage. So many of us settle for a relationship that really doesn't have the solidity that we want, just to say we have a man. God will send her a husband in due time..
Now I have to agree with you on this one.. ONLY part that concerns me is that her current husband was someone else's husband when they began dating.. soooooooo... We have to say. HMMMMM.....
I'm going through this right now. Being with a man I.... feel deep down is not the one! I love him! He is my best friend, he has so MANY of the qualities I want! Romantic, thoughtful! Patient! Generous! Caring and kind! But .... I just struggle constantly with other things with him. And I feel deep down like he's not the one! It's a constant heartbreaking conflict inside of me! And I try to break it off!! Many times!! But I always come back as it's so hard when I don't have him!
He took way too long to propose anyway. He only did it because of the pressure from her fans and the girls on the show. I really hope she finds the right guy because she deserves to be happy.
Listen it doesn't matter if he took long to propose to her, and it's her decision if she wants to say no/yes... If I was in her shoes no fans can tell me to say yes from no... It's up to what I want...
That doesn’t matter how long it took him to long it’s up to her to decide if she wanted to and now she has a great man by her side he’s such a good person
My parents married after 4 years by court but my dad hasn’t proposed to her yet for church and it’s been 18 years. And they love each other. My dads planning to do it soon tho
Y’all are slowwwwwww. The comment wasn’t saying that it isn’t his or her choice, the comment was saying that usually by that point in the relationship he would’ve made up his mind about her and proposed. The fact that he didn’t was an indicator that he wasn’t really sure and just did so because of the pressure from her fans. I can’t believe y’all thought she was attacking him or her.
Please do not ever take these REAL WOMEN off the air. Young women and grown women alike NEED a REAL voice. These 5 women personally give that. It would be a huge disservice to all of us. This is truly a one of a kind show that so many of us benefit from! You women have helped me and many others through serious issues. Always keep it REAL!
I commend u for realizing this and having the courage ro make this decision before it was too late and u were married. I only wish I had that same courage before I married my 1st husband knowing I shouldn't of went forward with it. The marriage only lasted 2 years after being together for 7 years beforehand. Certainly a lesson learned and years later I am happily married for 5 years to someone else who is the love of my life. There is hope for u, but in the meantime it's good that u have ur real girlfriends in ur corner.
+msmith056 That is very good insight. I compliment Adrienne for making that hard decision. I have dated guys I know I should not have because I was afraid I would not find anyone. I learned from my mistakes and remind myself to follow my guts.
Such a hard thing to do! I can't believe she was able to keep back the tears. My 7 yr relationship ended in June and I'm still struggling everyday to stay strong. Having people around to keep you together definitely makes things a little easier
This is why I love the real. To see a group of women, especially women of colour, bond, love, support and grow together is both awe inspiring to me and humbling. I love watching them walk in their truth and in doing so they're inspiring so many of us to do the same. Congratulations ladies on your success, you put a smile on my face with every show, keep supporting and growing with one and other and we'll keep watching. love from London.x
I feel bad that adrienne is having a hard time adjusting, but I honestly never felt like lenny was right for her just based on how she talked about him. she was always talking bout how showing affection was cheesy, how holding hands and little things like that were not part of their relationship but you could also tell she secretly wanted that. Adrienne deserves someone who will really adore her and pamper her, the way freddie pampers jeannie when he helps take out her weave at the end of a long day, and the way vince pampers tamar by giving her foot rubs and constantly supporting her career, the way adam is so gentle and encouraging with tamera about embracing her natural curls. I never sensed that same devotion between lenny and adrienne. there's someone out there just waiting to be that man for her.
this comment just goes to show we should never compare relationships because you dont REALLY know how two people feel about each other. All those other relationships you mentioned have ended in divorce too in pretty ugly ways.
I don't get people with the 'we are still good friends' bullshit reason everytime a break up happens. Why be good friends when you can still be lovers? Clearly, you break up for a reason. Just be honest. A break up is a break up.
Well I can tell you this. From my experience, it is possible to stay friends with someone that you loved in the past. My last ex-boyfriend is still one of my best friends. The reason why we were able to do this is because we were friends before we were in a relationship and although we broke up, it was still on good terms and we were able to maintain the friendship that we always had. We aren't "friends with benefits" or anything. And we came to the conclusion that we were better friends than lovers. So we will not get back together. We are simply platonic best friends and we continue to support, motivate and encourage each other. So it is very much possible.
When a man truly wants to be with you, YOU"LL KNOW IT!!!!!! 6 Years no ring?? Glad she got out..She deserves better!!!! She will come across her Romantic Soulmate soon enough..Trust Me..You got to let go and not be fearful..you'll cry for a lil bit but TRUST Me you will get over it!!! And you will Thank Yourself that you did when you find yourself Happier without them and when you meet THAT person who's right for you..ALL will make sense then....Speaking from personal experience.
I honestly felt like something like this was going to happen. Especially when she was talking about having first experiences with Lenny. How it wouldn't be his first time in different situations where it would be her first time. I'm so happy she did the right thing and ended it when it felt right for her. Keep doing you, Adrienne!
I am so happy I saw this. I was with my fiancée for 6 years and breaking our engagement was the hardest decision of my life. But you have to be honest with yourself and not let love blind you to the truth.
Adrien I applaud you for such an honest public announcement that could not have been easy. This is so relatable and speaks and gives strength to so many women! Thank you for sharing x
+dance4life1208 Great point. I can only speak for myself, but I could never marry a person who has been married before. I'm not judging people who have been divorced. It's just that I want to marry someone in a few years who has never been married nor have had children. I want that to be first time experiences shared between me and him.
+Miss Faith I feel the exact same way. I don't want someone that has the attitude spoken or unspoken "Been there, done that, don't want to do it again". However, I am older than you so I want to get married sooner rather than later LOL.
Update 2021: Tamar isn’t on show anymore, tamera left the show also, she has two kids & still with Adam. Garcelle is on the show now, Adrienne is married to Israel houghton, going on 5 years now!!! & Jeannie mai is now Jeannie make Jenkins happily married to jezzy Jenkins & they are expecting their first child together!!!! & Loni is in a committed relationship with james.
Update 2022 : the real was cancelled & most important Jeannie is married and now a mom to Monaco🧸 update August 2022 Adrienne Bailón became a mom as well 🥺🥺 to Ever James 🤎
Good for you Adrienne you ended it before it was to late. If you didn't feel in your heart that he was the one then he wasn't. The right guy will come along and you will feel it in your heart and soul that he is the one for you. You won't have to doubt it. God bless you stay strong you will get past this
I missed my tears for the time that this show was away. Now its all back and every segment brings some tears to my eyes. Well done Adrienna, never settle for less than you deserve.
I really admire adrienne for speaking up here about leaving her relationship and admitting it was because she wasnt being true and honest with herself because I went through the same thing last year and this clip helped me realise I needed to get out of my relationship.. watching this was the first time I felt like I could relate! Hes a great guy and were both good people but we were just not right for each other x
I hate how people throw shade about her and Israel now because she was 31 and he was 44 but the best thing is that they love each other and have a great relationship and I totally thing they’re perfect for each other.
omg i literally just shed a tear... I am just so glad that you didnt let the pressure from outside influences make you make a decision that you would later regret!! Adrienne love you praying for you and know that it will get better. I could tell it was hard for you to tell us that but we love you more that you share your heart with us!!! Love you always!!!
Awww good job Adriene. I need that type of strength right now. Its all about self honesty. Its just hard to let go sometimes. But you can't fake what you truly know for too long. Peace be with you.
I never liked Lenny anyways... I was happy that she was engaged because I'm usually happy for anybody who is geting married... but to me one of the red flags were that he was just too old for her. It came across as if she was a trophy wife..I hated that look for her...and the fact that she seemed as if she was too committed for someone that seemed (I'm assuming) was only half way in it. On his part, he had already done what she is now seeking, the children, marriage just to name a few, n because of that he might not being as ecstatic as she was. Its going to be hard for her, but its ok to feel they way she feel as long as she calls off the engagement before the marriage. I commend her for this bold step
+Michie Oo Well, Adrienne has always said that she liked older guys, because to her older men are more serious for a relationship than younger men. So, Lenny being older than her shouldn't have been a red flag to you.
+Michie Oo - I agree with everything you have written apart from the age, age like everyone says is just a number my husband is 31 and I am 22 so by the time I'm Adrienne's age we are going to have the same age gap, the only thing different in my marriage is that my husband hasnt got children with another woman, something I am most thankful for. So yes I agree with you in that sense but age has nothing to do with it, to be honest the maturer the man the better he commits.

It doesn't matter what happened. I commend her for not wanting to put on show for people who don't matter (fans/the public) and continuing on to get married even when she knew it wasn't right. God will bless her with the man she is truly meant to be with. Good for you Adrienne. Keep your head up beautiful.
Adrienne, I truly admire you're composure and honesty. You taught me to express my thoughts with grace. You're playing the life-game right #foreverchuchi
Awe Adrienne sorry to hear that but glad she feels good in her decision maybe this time she can find someone to experience everything for the first time like she wanted. Babies , marriage etc prayers go out to her !
it is none of anyone's business why. she gave all the info she wanted. If it was me I wouldn't have said nothing. Just because you're famous does not mean you have to tell your business.
M. S Thomas the reason will come out eventually..just like she can boldly admit that Rob cheated on her...its no different with Mr Lenny..and i wonder if she gave him back the ring
+roter13 Just speculating but the distance might of came into play. He probably didn't want to move to L.A. and she wasn't going to quit her job at The Real and move back to New York.
Wow, and Adrienne just proved why I love this show. They are five miraculous ladies who are so true and genuine and for her to be open like that and come to terms with herself shows the person she is and Adrienne is right all things happen for a reason , continue to do you Adrienne. I am so proud of all of them. Keep strong ladies, ya'll are so loved.
Update 2021 : Adrienne and Israel have been married for a few years now and they're preparing for a pregnancy, Tamera left the show to pursue other opportunities but she is still happily married with her two kids, Loni has a boyfriend named James and they've been together for awhile now, Jeannie is married to the rapper Jeezy 💖
Adrienne, you are a powerhouse girl. I hope you know it. First being able to admit that you don't sing for fear of failure. Then calling off an engagement that you felt wasn't the best for you. And then coming on national TV and announcing it and putting yourself in position to be judged and possibility ridiculed. Truly genuine and bold. Good for you!!!
Its so sad i was watching the videos of when Lenny first proposed and how he did it and then when it was done the suggested video that was next was " Why i called off my engagement" lord have mercy
This was the best decision she’s ever made bcuz she met Israel. And she was right about everything happening for a reason. Moral of the story ,Always choose you ladies!!!
+Lavi Nia Well I think if she was so open about the engagement ..she could be open about why they broke it off. Its not really about if its our business or not.. Its about her sharing ..since they always keep it "real". If you tell the positive side..include the negatives as well. Im so tirrd of people saying.. not our business..Well damnnn she made it our business by talking on the show about her relationship right!?
ShadesOfPerfect lol. yes you're right. it goes against the purpose of the show. but me, personally, I can easily let it go, even though I wished I didn't watch this segment because its title misled me.
Pleaseeeee adrienneeeee ... Keep talking about your feelings on The show And how You dealt with The break up.. Because it would help other women sooooo much!!! ( including myself) ❤️❤️
I really want her happy and one day she will be in love and she will want that romance where she's going to hold hands in public and love it.... She's growing through what she's going through and she's so strong for sharing this with us. I'm rooting for you! Love you
2 days ago my engagement to my fiance of 4 years broke off and it's the hardest moment of my life, but I knew I had to be honest about it. We were getting sad, too many problems came up. I knew I had to save who we were before we got married and became resentful etc. Hardest thing I ever have to do but I am hoping better things will come
Adrienne, thank you for becoming my role model today. I already admired you for the way you handled the Robert situation and now with Lenny. It only comes show how much you value yourself and teaching young women like me to not settle for what it is not to be ours.
shes such a inspirational and loving person and i respect her and love her and wish her the best of luck in her life. i hope for you the best . keep your head up girl things happen for a reason He isnt the one for you but one day youll find that someone very soon.
Aww, I love how Adrienne addressed this. It was really open without oversharing her personal business..
Good for her, so many women, will settle just for the sake of being married.
I'm 20, soon to be 21 in May. I want a man who will not only see me, but my flaws as well. I want man who loves me FOR ME!

Now I have to agree with you on this one.. ONLY part that concerns me is that her current husband was someone else's husband when they began dating.. soooooooo... We have to say. HMMMMM.....
But she's not a Christian, and she is exalting herself in a position of power, Jesus takes issues with false prophets Jeremiah 23.
I'm going through this right now. Being with a man I.... feel deep down is not the one! I love him! He is my best friend, he has so MANY of the qualities I want!
Romantic, thoughtful! Patient! Generous! Caring and kind!
But .... I just struggle constantly with other things with him. And I feel deep down like he's not the one!
It's a constant heartbreaking conflict inside of me!
And I try to break it off!! Many times!! But I always come back as it's so hard when I don't have him!

ME TOO :'(
And she's engaged again.‼️‼️‼️
Married now ;)
Good for you Adrienne you ended it before it was to late. If you didn't feel in your heart that he was the one then he wasn't. The right guy will come along and you will feel it in your heart and soul that he is the one for you. You won't have to doubt it. God bless you stay strong you will get past this
I missed my tears for the time that this show was away. Now its all back and every segment brings some tears to my eyes. Well done Adrienna, never settle for less than you deserve.
I am so happy for Adrienne. I see something extremely better on the horizon. Congratulations is what I choose to say.
am soo sad about this news. This girl is very strong. i feel like crying
It’s crazy how life works out. 5 years of marriage down and she living a happy and amazing life. Wow, when it’s your time it’s your time.
everything happens for a reason if she was still with lenny she wouldnt marry israel and look how happy she is now. God is amazing
Yup. That's why it's good to listen to God when he says NOPE!
Adrienne is such a role model, as well as all of the women at the table.
I really admire adrienne for speaking up here about leaving her relationship and admitting it was because she wasnt being true and honest with herself because I went through the same thing last year and this clip helped me realise I needed to get out of my relationship.. watching this was the first time I felt like I could relate! Hes a great guy and were both good people but we were just not right for each other x
I hate how people throw shade about her and Israel now because she was 31 and he was 44 but the best thing is that they love each other and have a great relationship and I totally thing they’re perfect for each other.
omg i literally just shed a tear... I am just so glad that you didnt let the pressure from outside influences make you make a decision that you would later regret!! Adrienne love you praying for you and know that it will get better. I could tell it was hard for you to tell us that but we love you more that you share your heart with us!!! Love you always!!!
I don't know why I saw this coming. I really felt like he just proposed to her to shut her up not with the intentions of actually getting married.
That hush up ring!
Awww good job Adriene. I need that type of strength right now. Its all about self honesty. Its just hard to let go sometimes. But you can't fake what you truly know for too long. Peace be with you.
Awww I just wanted to give her a hug but yes like you said everything happens for a reason. God has someone better for you. Stay strong!
I never liked Lenny anyways... I was happy that she was engaged because I'm usually happy for anybody who is geting married... but to me one of the red flags were that he was just too old for her. It came across as if she was a trophy wife..I hated that look for her...and the fact that she seemed as if she was too committed for someone that seemed (I'm assuming) was only half way in it. On his part, he had already done what she is now seeking, the children, marriage just to name a few, n because of that he might not being as ecstatic as she was. Its going to be hard for her, but its ok to feel they way she feel as long as she calls off the engagement before the marriage. I commend her for this bold step
+Michie Oo Well, Adrienne has always said that she liked older guys, because to her older men are more serious for a relationship than younger men. So, Lenny being older than her shouldn't have been a red flag to you.
+Hilton Villegas yea but him being married and divorced before hand is a red flag
***** Yes i agree
+Michie Oo - I agree with everything you have written apart from the age, age like everyone says is just a number my husband is 31 and I am 22 so by the time I'm Adrienne's age we are going to have the same age gap, the only thing different in my marriage is that my husband hasnt got children with another woman, something I am most thankful for. So yes I agree with you in that sense but age has nothing to do with it, to be honest the maturer the man the better he commits.

She didn't announced why she called it off, she just announced that it was called off.
Natasha Lovell clickbait title. 🙄
Feel betrayed!
It doesn't matter what happened. I commend her for not wanting to put on show for people who don't matter (fans/the public) and continuing on to get married even when she knew it wasn't right. God will bless her with the man she is truly meant to be with. Good for you Adrienne. Keep your head up beautiful.
Adrienne, I truly admire you're composure and honesty. You taught me to express my thoughts with grace. You're playing the life-game right #foreverchuchi
the title is misleading, she doesn't talk about why she called off her engagement, she only announced that it's off
People who have public careers should never feel pressured to tell their fans everything.
Awe Adrienne sorry to hear that but glad she feels good in her decision maybe this time she can find someone to experience everything for the first time like she wanted. Babies , marriage etc prayers go out to her !
so what actually happened?
+roter13 It's not our business tbh. Her sharing this is enough info in itself.
+roter13 I wanted her to tell us the reason...but later down in the season i guess she would
it is none of anyone's business why. she gave all the info she wanted. If it was me I wouldn't have said nothing. Just because you're famous does not mean you have to tell your business.
M. S Thomas the reason will come out eventually..just like she can boldly admit that Rob cheated on her...its no different with Mr Lenny..and i wonder if she gave him back the ring
+roter13 Just speculating but the distance might of came into play. He probably didn't want to move to L.A. and she wasn't going to quit her job at The Real and move back to New York.
Her honesty is beyond admirable. We'll be alright Adrienne.
Wow, and Adrienne just proved why I love this show. They are five miraculous ladies who are so true and genuine and for her to be open like that and come to terms with herself shows the person she is and Adrienne is right all things happen for a reason , continue to do you Adrienne. I am so proud of all of them. Keep strong ladies, ya'll are so loved.
Update 2021 : Adrienne and Israel have been married for a few years now and they're preparing for a pregnancy, Tamera left the show to pursue other opportunities but she is still happily married with her two kids, Loni has a boyfriend named James and they've been together for awhile now, Jeannie is married to the rapper Jeezy 💖
They really are the examples that hard days dont last forever and life gets better.
Adrienne, you are a powerhouse girl. I hope you know it. First being able to admit that you don't sing for fear of failure. Then calling off an engagement that you felt wasn't the best for you. And then coming on national TV and announcing it and putting yourself in position to be judged and possibility ridiculed. Truly genuine and bold. Good for you!!!
She's married!!! I can't wait for her to have her own children. Who's here? 👀
Briana Sharron same girl
Briana Sharron ikr
2020...I’m so inspired by your story Adrienne. God bless😍
Its so sad i was watching the videos of when Lenny first proposed and how he did it and then when it was done the suggested video that was next was " Why i called off my engagement" lord have mercy
You know when you see a question for an exam and you bullshit around and dont give a direct answer.. LOL I still dont know why
This was the best decision she’s ever made bcuz she met Israel. And she was right about everything happening for a reason. Moral of the story ,Always choose you ladies!!!
Adrienne has such a beautiful heart and spirit, a real woman! xx
I'm still trying to figure out why cuz she didn't explain anything. All I heard is how much the girls support her.
I'm not completely satisfied with the reason. However, I'm just me and Adrienne don't know me like that lol
what is the reason exactly?
that they're better off as friends lol! there was no reason, but that was disguised as the reason. Oh well, not our business.
+Lavi Nia Well I think if she was so open about the engagement ..she could be open about why they broke it off. Its not really about if its our business or not.. Its about her sharing ..since they always keep it "real". If you tell the positive side..include the negatives as well. Im so tirrd of people saying.. not our business..Well damnnn she made it our business by talking on the show about her relationship right!?
ShadesOfPerfect lol. yes you're right. it goes against the purpose of the show. but me, personally, I can easily let it go, even though I wished I didn't watch this segment because its title misled me.
+ShadesOfPerfect hahahahaha true
Tastefully done. Live your life to the fullest Adrienne! How inspirational!
Adrienne looks gorgeous and most importantly PEACEFUL!!! So happy for you : )
Where the heck is the answer to "why it was called off" ? I HATE WRONG CAPTIONS
I watching this right now... Its very strong for her to come on the show & say it :-)
Pleaseeeee adrienneeeee ... Keep talking about your feelings on The show And how You dealt with The break up.. Because it would help other women sooooo much!!! ( including myself) ❤️❤️
I really want her happy and one day she will be in love and she will want that romance where she's going to hold hands in public and love it.... She's growing through what she's going through and she's so strong for sharing this with us. I'm rooting for you! Love you
I respect her through everything
She's announced her engagement almost exactly a year later funny how that happened.
She said this three years ago and she’s happier now I’m so glad she had hope for the future
2 days ago my engagement to my fiance of 4 years broke off and it's the hardest moment of my life, but I knew I had to be honest about it. We were getting sad, too many problems came up. I knew I had to save who we were before we got married and became resentful etc. Hardest thing I ever have to do but I am hoping better things will come
Wishing for all the best ❤️
3 years later adriennes in love again and married to her husband who loves her. Wishing all the luck to.you Adrienne!!
omg i did not know this awww Adrienne i love u and support u
A is so brave. I love her. I really do
Adrienne, thank you for becoming my role model today. I already admired you for the way you handled the Robert situation and now with Lenny. It only comes show how much you value yourself and teaching young women like me to not settle for what it is not to be ours.
+Drina Ramirez You look fiiiine
Much respect marriage is serious commitment that you make to God. Enjoy being single and wait it's so worth the wait when it's the right person
So wait, I'm confused .. Are they just not engaged anymore, or are they broken up? Because there's a huge difference.
They broke up
Broke up...you don't hit em with the "we're still friends" line if your still dating each other
+justin aviles Agreed. If they were still together, she would have said we "postponed our engagement" or "postponed the wedding" for right now...
+justin aviles ahahahahaha true that
So brave and we love and support you adrienne ❤️
Adrienne, marry the music!!
I miss the real "The Real". These ladies were so good together
shes such a inspirational and loving person and i respect her and love her and wish her the best of luck in her life. i hope for you the best . keep your head up girl things happen for a reason He isnt the one for you but one day youll find that someone very soon.
She didn't really say why though but okay
Hey Adrienne, you are one of the strong ones honey, a lot of women would still go through with a wedding to the wrong man just so they are not alone.
I really respect adrienne for opening up and sharing this with us...she will find her Mr. Right soon !
I admire u adrienne cuz this ain't an easy thing to do but girl u handled it well 💖
Adrienne is absolutely stunning.
I know this is old but like u can really see her pain here I’m so glad she met Israel...
Madd respectt for Adrienne, can't imagine how hard that would've been but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta dooo.
I'm just so happy she didn't go through with it
On a random note she looks totally amazing
Im so glad the comments are supportive, i hope Adrienne sees them
Truth is beautiful no matter what and she handled this wonderfully and you can't do anything but respect that.
She's so strong ❤️ you can tell she wanted to cry 😔
