Reality TV enthusiasts are in a frenzy following the recent revelations from ‘Love & Hip Hop’ veteran Mendeecees Harris. During a candid Christmas Eve radio interview on Streetz 94.5, Mendeecees shocked fans by announcing that his long-term relationship with Yandy Smith-Harris is officially over. What’s even more surprising? He clarified that the couple was never legally married, despite years of public perception to the contrary.
A Year of Separation
In the Instagram clip that has gone viral, Mendeecees opened up about the couple’s status, revealing that they have been separated for more than a year. His straightforwardness left many viewers stunned. He stated, “We not together. We was never legally married, so [we’re not getting divorced].” This disclosure has turned heads, especially among fans who had closely followed their love story.
The Illusion of Marriage
For many, Mendeecees’ comments may come as a shock, especially those who remember the couple’s elaborate televised wedding special. This event featured heartfelt vows exchanged in front of the audience, leading many to believe they were legally bound. Mendeecees explained that the wedding was Yandy’s idea, but due to his ongoing legal battles at the time, they opted not to sign the papers. “It was Yandy’s idea… because, in the beginning, I was going through legal battles with courts and fines, and she said, ‘Let’s not sign the papers,” he revealed, further clarifying, “And I was like, ‘Alright, cool.’ And then it kind of just stayed that way.”
A Unique Unconventional Path
Mendeecees shared that despite their two wedding ceremonies, they made no tangible legal commitment to one another. He emphasized, “We had two ceremonies, and we still didn’t sign.” This unconventional decision stemmed from the complications of his prior legal issues, which paved the way for a long-standing arrangement that fans may have misconstrued as a marriage.
Acknowledging Yandy’s Influence
While the status of their relationship might be in flux, Mendeecees took a moment to reflect on the deep-rooted connection he shares with Yandy. “I’ve known Yandy for like 20 years… 20 years, that person helped change you to who you are today,” he said. His words conveyed a sense of gratitude for the impact she has had on his life, mentioning that he wouldn’t be the man he is today without her. He elaborated on how Yandy influenced his perception of family and life, expressing the complexity of their relationship dynamics: “She just made me look at life different. If I was to show you how closed off I was, you know, I wouldn’t be even sitting here having this conversation.”
