RHOA star Drew Sidora and husband Ralph Pittman agree to marriage counseling

She’s the newcomer to the Southern franchise.

And Drew Sidora revealed her marriage to Ralph Pittman was in need of help as the pair agreed to get counseling on Sunday’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta.

The 35-year-old actress admitted things were ‘not great’ between the couple soon after they celebrated their six-year wedding anniversary, which prompted the therapy discussion.

‘You know, we didn’t really resolve things. We decided just to table it,’ Drew said during a confessional after a tense dinner with her husband. 

‘Which is something that at this point drives me crazy. We don’t really talk about it, nor do we have the tools to really resolve it. So we just kind of go along and get along until the next crazy argument.’ 

After arguing in front of her mother, Drew admitted there were many stressors in their marriage, including their children, Machai, five, and Aniya. She also has a son, Josiah, from a previous marriage.

‘Ralph and I are in the process of purchasing a new home, my first home I’ve ever purchased, so I’m super excited. It is literally around the corner from where we live now and it’s over 9,000 square feet, so we can definitely stay in our corners when need be,’ she explained. 

While driving to their new place, Ralph admitted that he ‘can get things wrongs’ while Drew said she had contacted a marriage counselor. 

‘I called a counselor that works with couples. Honestly, when we move in this house, I don’t want to bring our past into this home,’ she said. ‘I want this to be a home that we can like, see our kids grow in, you know?’ 

‘So you already gave her like, a bias, so that she’s already trying to prejudge me — “let me tell you what I need you to fix on Ralph,”‘ he said. 

‘I didn’t say that,’ Drew said. ‘I’m sitting here saying I found us a counselor. That’s a good thing. Can you just say, “Great job, babe.” Like, can I just hear anything positive?’ 

Just last month, filming came to a grinding halt after a member of the ‘production team’ tested positive for COVID-19, according to PEOPLE magazine.

While it’s unclear if any of the women came into contact with the person who tested positive, the Bravo production is taking extreme precautions to ensure all safety measures are taken.

‘The set follows rigorous COVID-19 safety protocols including contract tracing,’ a source told the publication. ‘Out of an abundance of caution, production is shutting down for two weeks.’
