After keeping her boyfriend, King, private for nearly one year, the reality star is ready to introduce her man to the Bravo series and the world.
"For me, I move in silence," Quad, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month while promoting Married to Medicine. "In terms of keeping him private to myself, it was just us establishing our relationship and I didn't want us to be affected by any outside influences or any noise. Also, let's just keep it real. I had to make sure that he was there for the right reasons."
Since the show began in 2013, Quad has opened up her life to Bravo cameras. Whether experiencing a divorce from Dr. Greg Lunceford or dealing with friendship breakups with certain cast members, the women's health advocate hasn't shied away from sharing the good, bad and ugly of her reality.
In this season of her life, however, Quad is feeling good after beginning a romantic relationship away from the cameras.
"I wanted to truly get to know him, to get to know his family and to see if this was something that was for the long hall," she explained to Us. "We see a lot of times, people jump into these relationships and they're just these little micro relationships. They're three months here and it's a new person on social media. Then you got six months here and it's a new person and I'm just not into that. I would rather just wait for God to bring me my person and really take the time to craft and develop that relationship before I bring that relationship to the masses."
During a recent episode of Married to Medicine, Quad was treated to a lavish birthday party courtesy of King, 41. Many cast members were surprised to learn their costar and friend was dating someone so special.
"I'm out and about in Atlanta, and I never [saw] him and her together, which made us all think originally that maybe it was a rent-a-husband," Toya Bush-Harris joked to Us Weekly earlier this month at DIRECTV's "Christmas at Kathy" Hilton's party. "But when I tell you, when they look at each other, they look like they love each other. It's wonderful."
While Quad acknowledges that she may have "pissed off" some fans and colleagues for keeping her relationship private, she appears to have no regrets.
"It wasn't their business from the beginning," she explained. "I have never been that nosy that I want to know who someone is sleeping with. I don't give a damn."
On May 15, 2023, however, everything changed when a "light bulb just went off" and she decided to pursue a romantic relationship with King.
"We were reconnected by a mutual friend and I remember looking at him, and I said, 'You like me, don't you?'" Quad said. "He's fine. He's handsome. He's suave. His demeanor is real chill and I was really drawn into him in the way that he conducts himself as a man."
As their relationship continues to grow in Atlanta, Quad -- who recently launched her S.A.S.S. All Purpose Seasoning on Amazon -- is looking towards the future and promises she has nothing to hide.
"The Lord knows that I have been through some things. It's just timing," she said. "I stayed prayerful, and it just worked itself out. Literally, this man shows up, and then the light bulb goes off. I thought he was so fine too."
Married to Medicine airs on Bravo Sundays at 9 p.m. ET. Stream past episodes anytime on Peacock.
