I’m single.” She went on to talk further about the split and her future romantic plans, where she added, “The next person that’s with me like if you eff with me, you’re stuck with me. That’s it.”
Brooke added, “The first time I got married, I was like 20, and the second time I got married, I knew I should not have been marrying him, but I was like, ‘I’m going to do it for my kids,’ which was the wrong decision.” In the past, she was also romantically linked with Rashard Lewis, the ex-NBA for whom she appeared on the show. As of writing, Brooke is very happy in her single life, and she is greatly supported by her friends and family. We wish Brooke all the luck and hope in her future endeavors.
