The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore made a shocking announcement on Instagram about her new boyfriend James Freeman:

He is married!

We aren’t surprised. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard reports of Kenya dating a married man, and honestly, it probably won’t be the last.

In her Instagram statement, she revealed the truth to her fans:

"Unfortunately, I just learned today that the man I met and fell in love with from Millionaire Matchmaker was married a week after the show aired.” 

"I am astounded and devastated to have learned of this news VIA social media as opposed to from him directly."

"However, I still believe in love and my heart remains open to the man God has for me. I wish him well.”

Kenya and James met on Millionaire Matchmaker. The show’s star, Patti Stanger, hooked them up, and things seemed to be going well for a while.

In March, after meeting James, Kenya posted on Instagram:

"Sometimes you can spend your whole life looking for Prince Charming when a King arrives."

"Thank you @pattistanger and @cynthiabailey10 and my fans for your love and support and desire for my happiness. #matchmaker #KingJames"

"#FriendsFirst #MillionaireMatchmaker.”

Kenya also mentioned her relationship on a recent HelloBeautiful (dot) com interview:

"Even though I know we met on reality TV, I feel like I need to guard that situation. I don’t need to live it in public, I don’t need to tell people or post pictures on Instagram. I just want to enjoy where I am right now.”

"I’m in a great place in my life. Whether it works out or it doesn’t, what makes me feel good is that I’ve inspired other people," she added. 

"A lot of people are excited for me, so I just have to take baby steps."

"Nearly 43 percent of all Black women have never been married, I feel like I give hope to women who want that.” 

Looks like she is back to the drawing board.

Fans are offering tons of support for Kenya, but not everyone is a fan.

Celeb-enemy Vivica A. Fox battled with Moore on Celebrity Apprentice.  And it appears the two still aren’t getting along.

Fox tweeted, “Well dayummnn #ToxicTrick Kenya Moore strikes again! The guy she said was her new guy is actually married? SMDH  WTH!? #ByeTrick.”

Moore might not have the support she needs right now as she deals with this blow. NeNe Leakes recently threatened to sue Kenya for damaging her brand.

And Kenya has engaged in a dispute with Phaedra Parks for some time concerning rumors about Phaedra’s imprisoned husband, Apollo Nida.

Kenya has a habit of thinking her dude friends are her legit boyfriend.

Anyone remember Walter? The guy she was pressuring to propose to her who wasn’t even dating her?
