Gizelle Bryant offered a congratulatory message to her ex-husband, Jamal Bryant, after he announced his engagement to Dr. Karri Turner during a church service over the weekend.
After Jamal confirmed plans to marry Karri in a video shared to his Instagram page, the 53-year-old Real Housewives of Potomac star offered a kind message to the betrothed couple as the reported cast for the series’ upcoming ninth season was confirmed on the heels of the exits of Robyn Dixon, 45, Candiace Dillard-Bassett, 37, and Nneka Ihim, 36.
“I’m grateful to God that today the Lord has given [Dr. Karri Turner] to be my wife and [New Birth Missionary Baptist Church] has a First Lady. My heart is overjoyed and my destiny is in clear focus. Love always wins!!” Jamal declared in a caption to his May 26 engagement announcement.
Speaking to his church, Jamal said, “Sometimes your blessing will be right in front of your eyes .. and you don’t even know. You don’t even know what God’s got for you. Amazing, amazing, amazingly beautiful woman. Amazingly brilliant woman. Last year, she graduated with her doctorate degree and I saw her walk across that stage and get her doctorate degree and the Lord said, ‘You big dummy, what are you waiting on?’ And I am so grateful to God that she has consented to be my wife.”
“Would you help me thank God for Dr. Karri Turner? I can’t tell you how happy I am, how happy my family is, how happy my children all, and I hope my church is happy for me,” he added.
Following the sharing of the post, Gizelle wrote in a comment, “Congratulations! Very happy for you!”
“Thank you so much gorgeous,” Karri replied.
As for the cast of RHOP season nine, joining Gizelle in full-time roles will reportedly be Karen Huger, 61, Ashley Darby, 35, Mia Thornton, 39, Wendy Osefo, 40, Stacey Rusch, and Jassi Rideaux.
TV Deets shared the news with their fans and followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday, also noting that Keiarna Stewart and Jacqueline Blake will be featured as series “friends.”
As fans have surely heard, Candiace confirmed her departure from the show in March, followed by Robyn in April and Nneka in May.
The Real Housewives of Potomac season nine is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
