There have been claims that Chris Samuels was informed by Monique Samuels' off-camera buddy that Monique was getting too close to the trainer during the "Real Housewives of Potomac" season. The cast members began to argue as a result of this. Chris offered his support for Candiace and voiced hope for reconciliation despite Monique's accusations of betrayal. During that season, Ashley claimed on Instagram that Charisse had nothing to do with the accusations, but some people don't trust Ashley because she has a history of lying. A Reddit comment made inferred that the two were having the same problem. Therefore, based on this situation, and assumptions made by people it is safe to say that Charrisse and Chris have been in contact for a long time.

Charrisse and Chris were observed chatting while the photo was being shared outside of what looked like a cafe. There were two chairs placed between the two of them as they sat alone. Chris sat trying to hide his face while wearing a black color t-shirt, and she was wearing a white color top with an off-the-shoulder design. Chris acknowledged his relationship's stagnated growth and recognized Monique's dissatisfaction with her demanding family responsibilities. Monique was devoted to their marriage and believed in working things out. Unfortunately, he never followed through on his pledge to reform, which resulted in their divorce. The image of Charrisse and Chris sparks rumors among fans that there may be another cause for the divorce than what is officially stated.

'Does this confirm that that was the real reason for divorce….?'

One user said, "If I remember correctly, Monique said that Chris was so angry at Charisse for “spreading rumors about their family” that he wouldn’t be able to contain he’s rage if he saw her in person. So…we’re those rumors true?" and a second user added, "Charisse is the one that started the trainer rumors. So this is very interesting," to which a third user replied saying, "Does this confirm that that was the real reason for divorce….? Wonder if they got a paternity test…." and a fourth user mentioned replying to the comments, "I don’t know what’s going on but I’m verrrrrry intrigued."

A fifth user suggested otherwise and directed the speculation in a different direction and said, "I’m going to assume that they were meeting other people, since they’re sitting with chairs between them, and facing in separate directions." A sixth user said, "Local person weighing in. That’s the patio at the Starbucks in Potomac Village. Tons of people going in/out of here all day long. It’s not uncommon to run into someone you know and say hi. It looks more like Chris had his kids there playing and Charisse happened to be there too and said hi. I doubt this is a date situation but stranger things have been true with housewives. Fun fact this is next to the Safeway Karen said she can’t go to anymore because of Charisse."
