The Family Chantel Season 4 returned for an all-new episode on Monday night, and things were nothing less than dramatic between Pedro and Chantel. Ever since they returned after their trip from the Dominican Republic, Pedro and Chantel's relationship has been on the rocks. Things only seemed to be going from bad to worse each week.

Titled No Ninos or Ninas, Episode 4 of The Family Chantel showcased Chantel getting things ready for her housewarming party. Meanwhile, all Pedro did was mope around and be rude toward his wife. Though Chantel tried hard to hide her marital issues from her family, it didn't work. Her family was able to sense the tension between the couple.

Later in the episode, when Chantel was in the car with her parents, they asked The Family Chantel star if anything was wrong with her marriage. Chantel denied that she was facing marital issues and claimed that Pedro was tired as he had returned from work.

During her confessional, Chantel revealed why she didn't want to tell her parents about the marital issues between her and The Family Chantel star.

Chantel was on her way to River's new apartment with her parents when they asked her if she was facing any issues with Pedro. Chantel denied their question and assured her parents that things were fine between her and her husband.

During her confessional, Chantel shared why she hid the details from her parents. She said,

"I just know that if I tell my family that Pedro and I aren't happy, they're going to blame Pedro immediately and support me. I mean, I do feel like he could be doing better right now and that I need some support. But I'm not willing to let them into my problems right now for the intergrity of the relationship between my family and my husband."

Chantel continued to add that she wanted it to stay that way until she and Pedro figured things out.

Despite Chantel's denial, her father assured his daughter that if there were any issues she was facing with Pedro, she could talk to him about it. During her confessional, Chantel's mother claimed that she would get to the end of the issue between Pedro and Chantel.

Fans who watched the episode took to social media and applauded Chantel for not bringing her family into her problems.
