They weren’t lying when they said that Part 14 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta will be full of new drama and an unexpected blast from the past. A lot has happened on the series since its May 1, 2022 premiere when rumors spread in Atlanta that Sheree Whitfield and Tyrone Gilliams had canceled after RHOA.
Sheree and Tyrone Gilliams’ relationship, which began in 2010, blossomed again in 2021. As of June 2022, they were still on the show as rumors of their breakup swirled in real time.
So we thought it was a good time to tell you all about Tyrone, as Shereé Whitfield’s boyfriend, and other aspects of his life.
Meet Tyrone Gilliams, Shereé Whitfield’s Boyfriend
Fans remember Shereé Whitfield calling Tyrone Gilliams her soulmate. They were also there to witness the pair meet at the party, where Tyrone advertised himself as a party promoter and hired Shereé for performances at the club. Apparently, it was because of Tyrone that Shereé had a falling out with Nene Leakes. It’s unclear when the two started dating, though.
Then, when Tyrone was convicted, he stopped contacting Shereé because he didn’t want her tied up in his case. But they eventually reconnected and maintained a relationship even though one of them was in prison. After serving eight years for securities fraud and wire fraud, he was released from the Philadelphia Correctional Facility in 2021. Meanwhile, Shereé had to travel two hours to see him all those years.
But once he returned, the June 5, 2022 episode of RHOA delivered heartbreaking consequences for viewers. Not only did Tyrone put her on leave, he refused to take any of her calls. But despite all the hurt she caused, Shereé still didn’t seem ready to give up. “I don’t know if this is something I’m ready to give up,” she can be seen telling her daughter Tierra.
Before this split, the on-again, off-again couple split again when Tyrone lost his appeal. But they reconciled when he was finally released.
They reportedly stopped speaking in November 2021 after Shereé bought Bravo cameras to film a scene with him at a restaurant.
Are Tyrone Gilliams and Shereé Whitfield married?
After Tyrone Gilliams was released from prison in 2021, Shereé Whitfield was surrounded by marriage rumors. Which, by the way, were not true. Because the two, despite their long-running romance, never married each other.
Shereé said on RHOA that she dated Tyrone for eight months before he was sentenced to prison in 2013. And a year before that, when the world knew Tyrone was an “Ivy League fraud,” he was living in a beautiful home in the Art Museum area with his two young children and their mother.
Shereé has also been married before, and she spoke about her child support fight with ex-husband Bob Whitfield during her early seasons on RHOA.
