Shamea and her husband Gerald Mwangi have been married since 2017 after meeting at a popular nightclub in Atlanta, GA in 2014. The two later connected after one of Gerald's friends invited Shamea to his home for a barbecue. Shamea later revealed Gerald had orchestrated the BBQ at his home as an opportunity to reconnect with her and his plan worked. The two were inseparable after they met and the engagement and wedding were the talk of Atlanta's social scene. Ironically, Porsha and Shamea fell out because Porsha was suspiciously unable to attend her bestie's wedding. The two later reconnected, but most RHOA fans haven't forgotten about the brief riff.
Like Porsha, Shamea has a wealthy African husband and all the high-dollar accouterments that give women relevance on Bravo's best-selling franchise. Shamea's husband, doesn't have the sketchy past that follows Porsha's soon-to-be ex-husband, Simon Guobadia. Gerald is originally from Kenya and has several advanced degrees from East Carolina University Greenville, N.C. He worked as a project manager for CompUSA and has worked with a number of high-profile non-profits. While Gerald did gift Shamea with the expected RHOA birthday gift of a Rolls-Royce, no one questioned the car's payment schedule, bill of sale, or if it would be repossessed due to bad business deals. For all practical purposes, Shamea appears to have lucked up and found a generous, wealthy, and completely legal man, one of the few things that sets her apart from the other housewives.
