In an interview with The Shade Room, she opened up about her relationship with Pastor Henderson and said:

The couple had connected through a mutual friend and talked to each other for over six hours when they first met, where they also bonded over love, family, and faith. The Basketball Wives star revealed that he fit right into her family before marrying. She said:
"He's been amazing to just step into our lives and fill a void that's been there for a minute in a space of just being here with me, cause I haven't had somebody. They love him which makes me love him even more."
The groom opened up about his feelings for his wife and said:
"She's amazing. She's just the most laid-back, hilarious, fun-loving person. She's a woman of faith. She can cook, she can dress, and she can sing!"
