As rumors swirl about their status, Monique Samuels and Chris Samuels have clarified that they have not separated — but admit that they are going through a tough time in their 10-year marriage.The former Real Housewives of Potomac stars released a lengthy YouTube video on Monday, October 17, after seemingly laughing off a People magazine report that they had split over the weekend.“It’s no secret that Chris and I have been struggling in some areas of our marriage and anybody who watched Love & Marriage: DC last year, y’all saw the arguments, y’all saw everything that was going on,” Monique, 39, began with Chris, 45, by her side. “It was a lot of confusion, it was crazy building up to that 10-year marker of our marriage and when you’ve been married that long and when you have things that you’re like, ‘Listen, this is being unmet or I’ve been unheard’ you start to get frustrated and it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, is this what life is going to be?

I can’t take it anymore.’ So what y’all saw on Love & Marriage: DC last season, it was my cry for help.”Monique and Chris wed in 2012 and share three kids: Christopher, 9, Milani, 7, and Chase, 3.

She noted on Monday that the pair were in individual therapy to work “on their personal issues,” but denied several times that they had split.“Without further explanation, everyone knows that when you say the words separation, that insinuates a divorce.

Are Chris and I getting a divorce? No. We aren’t getting a divorce. Are we going our separate ways? Absolutely not. … Have we filed a legal separation?
