'RHONY' star Eboni K. Williams split with her fiancé.

The 37-year-old appeared on The Wendy Williams Show and revealed to the talk show host that she was no longer with her fiancé.

“I was engaged to be married,” she said. “I started 2020 planning a wedding, deposits to vendors, a videographer, wedding planner. I was planning a wedding, a marriage, more importantly. And this quarantine, it made us tell the truth about our relationship.”

The two were together for four years before calling it quits during the coronavirus pandemic (also known as COVID-19). So, what happened?

“I’ll tell you what happened. He actually did not quarantine with me," she revealed. "He has three children, two of which are young adults. And he chose to quarantine in New Jersey with his semi-adult children. And for me, listen I’m not a parent yet. I get that they’re number one. But I need to be number one. And I wasn’t number one so I needed to move on.”

Eboni was a fan of the series prior to being cast on the show.

Though she may be new to the cast of RHONY, Eboni is not going to sit quietly in the corner, and it has already been teased that she will be involved in a bit of drama on Season 13. 

But, before being cast on the series, the reality star revealed that she has been a longtime fan of the Bravo franchise.

"No, Andy, I didn't watch a lot of RHONY; I watched all of RHONY. Yes! From Episode 1, baby," she told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. "I'm a Bravoholic like everybody else ... They were as advertised. Everybody was full throttle, very consistent."
