The new studio set up is really nice. Everyone looks like they had a good summer. And Jeannie is pregnant and glowing. I also really like Loni's hair and outfit.
Is she really
@@christinechikovore6884 yes
@@christinechikovore6884 she announced it.
Garcelle is doing her thing!!
She is elegant, well spoken, has self control and is a voice of reason. Tamera was good and I miss her but Garcelle is great on this show!
I like too
Please don’t bring the Audience back! (I know it unrealistic but I can still dream haha) you guys are so much more natural and comfortable without the crowd
It depends. Everyone doesn't breakup for a bad reason. But I think she did right to turn him down. He still won't commit to a woman, so he doesn't need to waste her time
He's just trying to waste her time. I would punch the air if my ex came back and I was still single and searching. Damn it
@@tondaniraluswinga2590 yep i believe he is too because him and Shantel broke up because he STILL refuses to commit at 30-40 years old smh
He 40-50. Lol
I just started back watching The Real and for the life of my I can’t understand why Garcelle wasn’t an original host…love her!
Right! It feels like she belongs
Yes. She definitely belongs here. More than Tamera.
yes! she should’ve been there from the beginning along with Tamera.
Exactly!! During the premiere of season seven, Garcelle had been a host for not even two minutes and I thought she fit perfectly! She has such good rapport with the other ladies and fell into the perfect position. Loni’s a great moderator but it’s nice to have Garcelle there too who also pushes the conversations in certain directions!
Right!!!!! She fits in so well with the spirit of this show like the perfect puzzle. It also baffles me why she wasn't a regular co-host earlier. To be honest I feel like Garcelle could've had Amanda's spot back then. Plus if that happened then both Garcelle and Tamera could've had more moments together on the show. 😊
I married my ex after being apart for 12 years! We stayed married until he passed away earlier this year.
Wow!
I’m so sorry for you loss.
Sorry for your lost love 💗
So sorry for your loss!
That's true love does wait
"Who leaves Jennifer Lopez?" The better question is who doesn't leave Jennifer Lopez?
😂😂😂😂
She leaves them tbh. A-rod cheated so did Diddy. Because once her and A-Rod broke up, a few of her ex’s made posts about her tryna low key get that old thing back.
Lol oh my 😂😂😂😭😭
👀👀👀👀 right...well technically Arod was broken up with. But yes, correct.
the shade
I’m loving this .. I definitely think they will flow better as they get used to it more in person again . No audience leaves that awkward silence
Can't lie. I did the on again/off again thing for about 4 years. While we were never horrible people to and for each other, we just never had been able to find that specific missing ingredient to solidify it for us, no matter what individual growth we went through for close to half a decade. Sometimes, it's just not meant to be. And that's OK.
Preach!!!!! 💯
Same here
Wow that is that part that most take time to grasp.
Absolutely!
Dang! You were a booty call for four years? I'm glad you got the dignity to close your legs and leave. 🤣😂
Adrian back to her “does that make sense” for something that completely makes sense haha
Best comment ever 😂 so true
A lot of women tend to end their sentences that way (I for one do as well) because we feel the need to be validated by our point. This is because women do not feel heard when they speak so they ask for the validation back.
@@YasminAlgouneh This is very true. In speech and in literature. There are studies that shows female writers are usually more verbose/long-winded.
I'm dating my ex again and now he's my husband!! Lol!! 💯💯
It works!!!
Me too!!!!! And it's waaaay better than before. 4 yr anniversary October 10th😍 Glad it worked for us, Sweetness 😁🤸🏾♀️💕
Aww congrats
Yes ladies and I’m at that place now with an ex and I feel that God separated us to bring us back together better and stronger together. Sometimes individual work needs to take place and knowing that you truly love one another when separate will make the heart grow fonder. Happy for you all, God bless your union.
@@Originalmomof3Kings Amen❤🙌🏾
Ashanti made it clear that even tho Nelly is single (he just broke up with his GF) she isn't LOL. Ashanti said said nope, I'm taken😂. As for dating your ex again, it depends on the circumstances. What was it that went wrong.
Lol..She would say she's taken to reflect from the narrative even if she wasn't🤷🏾♀️
Who is Ashanti dating? Do you know?
@@ifeleke4201 It's Florida
It’s been 2 years since his break up
@@Lei.e Six years I believe.
One thing about JLo though is that when she’s in a relationship she tends to always get the ring. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Bennifer got engaged again
Yes. For sure. Except with capser smart. They bought a house together that they sold out 2 years after breaking up. Why didn't he pop the question then? I think she knew she wouldn't get nothing serious out of such a young fresh dude. With this being said, now that they are back together paps, media and social media would not give them a day to rest. If they end up engaged again, this will add more media scrutiny! Let's wait and see.
Garcelle is so right on so many levels but my favorite is looking your best when you see your ex.
Right🤭😂
Nelly wants to date Ashanti again but does not have the balls to say it. He even went on to say it was just a hug and that he spoke to everyone at veruz. But , if you watch how he floated across the stage and moved someone out the way to get to her , I was like “uhmmmm yeah he definitely miss Ashanti”. We can’t expect him to fully say it but the hug showed it! Meanwhile Ashanti was on live with Remy, Fat joe, and Ja rule and she made it clear that she is not single. So BOOM! Your ex is somebody’s next as it should be… move on!
We’ll I’m glad I revisited the idea of trying with a person from my past because now we are married and I truly feel like I am with my soul mate .. I def think it depends on many factors.
I actually so thrown off at VERZUZ being on a weekday instead of a weekend… I looked up and was like “ wait it’s today?!” I didn’t watch it ! But for me I think Nelly & Ashanti are those kinds of people where it’s like despite what happened or whatever happened it wouldn’t be right to not pay my respects and acknowledge this person that was apart of my past ! Give a hug and move on ! It’s the media that plays into it that annoys the hell out of me 😭😂
Now as far as dating my ex… if u have the potential to change ur ways while we’re not together ( depending on what needs to be changed ) then you have the potential to change willingly while with me ! You only get one chance with me so if u screw up it’s done with I’m not going back lol
My dad told me this morning that your past (someone from your past) has nothing new to give you than what they used to give you.
Wise words. I need to remember this x
I'm not the person I was a decade ago. Why would they be? Nothing wrong with not being willing to consider it, but this is just bs.
I think JLO moves from one relationship to the next too quickly. Doesn't matter if Ben is someone she dated from her past, how about taking time to heal 1st and then move forward. Why the rush to jump head 1st?
Everyone is different and have their own opinions. I agree with Loni depending on the hurt they gave you than no I wouldn't.
I agree too. I’d never go back to my ex now. He broke my heart more than once last year. I was dumb to take him back twice but I’ve learned from it. Adrienne’s right when she says you remember the good things because I still do. He’s just a memory for me now. I’ll always be the one that got away though.
@@kaitlinmastrantuono7216 if my recent ex asked to get back together maybe I would. There was a good reason why we broke up. But if my ex from 4 years ago asked I would say no. He really broke my heart and I wouldn't give him another chance.
Jeannie needs to stop making definite statements. Two definite statements, she's gone back on. Scriptures say, in a multitude of words... Just saying... Happy for her though.
I like the real's new set up
The new setup is nice, truly, but I miss the table. Even without an audience I would like to see The Real table again. Idk why, maybe because they had it from the get, I just miss seeing the old setup even though they would change the background.
I miss the table too...and the audience. But I can get use to this also.
I love that they seem very comfortable in those chairs and we can see their whole outfits too
@@JennHerz-HTX92 Same. They seem more natural this way… girls just hanging. As opposed to looking more “official” when there’s a table in front of them.
Dating your Ex! I guess it depends on what ended the relationship... but I also think that you have grown since ending said relationship so maybe it will be better
I agree especially if you were both very young and possibly career oriented, initial paths can be different. Once you both are older and the chemistry and compatibility still there why not?
I’m married to my first love after being married with one child. That marriage ended for good reasons. Later on I reconnected with my first love that was a painful breakup but we were teenagers and young adults during that time. We now have two more children and we are very happy. It is possible. Cheating is a deal breaker for me but that wasn’t our case so it worked. Seems like destiny brought us back together after so many years of not communicating.
Wow how did yall reconnect?
I miss the table and it’s awkward with no audience.
Love the new set✨
happy for Jeannie 💕
but really missing Tamera 🤣💕
Me toooo tamera was a whole mooood
Nelly and Ashanti come back together. I will say, it's God will for both to be together again💏 💋🎆🧨🎇🎈✨🧨👏👏
I will never date EX again. It’s a reason he’s a EX.
Amen!
Ur right
Amen ✌🏾
I agreed. Lopez will learn that one too.
Can we talk about Jeanie’s pregnancy glow?
The only way I would go back to an ex is if he has truly grown spiritually, emotionally and mentally. If not, then it's a chapter of my life which is closed. You were there for a reason and a season.
I’m still waiting on Garcelle to get with Jamie that’s all 😂
Yeeessss !! I’m patiently waiting 🤷🏽♀️😂
@@aishaturner5419 Jamie Foxx preference is white women!
She addressed it and said that her and Jamie are such good friends she didn't want to cross the line
@@taylordowning2533 I remember her talking about that when they discussed the conversation that she had with him on her podcast BUT I still have faith tho 😩😂
I'm currently dating my ex!!! We broke up because of a silly misunderstanding. Looking back we needed to break up and I'm better for it, it's not always a bad thing sometimes u need to rediscover yourself n start all over again
Ya’ll, I’m going through a breakup with my now ex bf of 5 years and it was for several reasons that I don’t want to go into details. But the first couple days of our breakup, we were texting because at that time I still loved him and he ended up telling me that to spend some time to think if you want us to get back together again; I was the one that break it off but for reasons that I really don’t want to recall. I did not cheat, just wanted to let that out. But during that three day period, I went to talk to my friend about the whole situation….and guess what? I realized that I disregarding things he had said to me as light but actually were grand and they were horrible things. He is getting help but I don’t feel like I would ever find that love that I had for him once again. It’s sad but true. This is why I love this show because it makes me feel included. Even though, I’m not virtually there, it helps me a lot. Thank you girls! So happy to see you all in one room again! And congratulations Jeannie! I’m sooooo happy for you and jeezy! You are going to be such an amazing mama, I just know it! 🎉♥️
Dear One, please know you’re worth the sweet words and the actions behind them. You’re brave for walking away when it no longer felt right. I pray you heal, find yourself, and enjoy life again!
@@poeticlovee thank you sooooo much love! That means a lot. ♥️
Believe me when I say you will love even more 🥰 you only feel that now because you are not over him. Try and get over him, it's not a one day affair but if you give yourself time you will. I once thought that I'd never love again 😂 but I loved again, you will love again just take your time. Hugs.
@@teimatata Thank you so much! I know it's not easy, especially since we were together for almost a decade but you are right. Love is endless. Sending hugs back to you. :)
Everyone grows and goes on different paths in their life so sometimes when you revisit those times together things can be better the next time around while others you know it’s not worth the rekindle and friendships are better.
I agree 100 but would you say that if the break up was ugly but yall come back years down the line and yall both have matured and grown. Would you give them a chance?
@@jacklinerojo2708 I would definitely give it a chance if I felt like I could look pass what happened. I feel like sometimes people try to get back together with their exes, but hold onto the grudges or the pain that happened before. If I’m willing to get back with an ex I feel like I would have to make peace with whatever happened so it doesn’t come up in arguments or even reflect new situations that could happen. You won’t forget what happened or might not fully forgive it, but you can’t hold onto the past to bring it into your future with them if that’s what you ultimately want.
With Jen and Ben, they've been very consistent over the years (even when they had other partners) that the reason they broke up was not becuase of lack of love for each other but rather "outside" influences.
They're adamant in pointing out how much being in tabloids affected their relationship. I think this is not emphasized enough because I dont think people fully understands how different it was during the early 2000s. I mean, we see how Britney's life and career was ruined by the press. Its the same way for Ben and Jen's relationship but they stopped before their careers completely flunk. I mean, if Gigli was any indication, they were spiraling down at least professionlly. Having said that, personally, I really think that they broke up for their careers which is why over the years, they've always been very vocal about being happy for each other's individual success. Their relationship was sacrificed in order to have the careers theyve made for themselves over the years.
Many many years later, after all the professional accolades they both earned, perhaps both of them know that that is not what life is about. I think where they're at right now is something that has crossed their minds all these years thet just never acted on it for all the reasons that Adrienne, Garcelle and Jeannie mentioned. Going back to an ex is in fact a dangerous thing but I think its also somewhat admirable that Bennifer is doing what no one else would dare do. I think they're at a point in their lives where they wouldn't want to live a life full of "what ifs". They are the personification of, "Its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
This comment needs to be read!!!!
I’m so happy that the ladies are back in the studio. They’re talking and connecting so much better. Imagine this convo via online😩 Stay safe everyone!❤️ and congratulations Jeannie!
Ashanti’s taken anyway but, there’s no drama tho, they moved on. And I agree with Loni about JLo and Ben. They’re different people now and have lived more life. Maybe this time around they can make it work better than before.
She is? U sure?
@@Koki1993 who Ashanti? Yeah she said she’s in a relationship
@@britbritnicole With whom? The white guy is her manager lol
@@Koki1993 she didn’t say lol
Omg this conversation was so good had me so excited 😆
Okay. I guess since I watched Jeannie's announcement, TH-cam's been recommending The Real's clips to me now ❤️
This season better be interesting 🙂😜😂
Yessss!!! Love to see the studio back up and running
What do you mean who leaves Jennifer lopez? Why has she been married so many times and hasn't worked out? She's the problem sis💯💯
He was just being polite and went over to speak and gave her a hug so it won’t be awkward. JLo doesn’t know how to pick her men. Ben is not going to marry her.
One of my best friends had broken up with her high school boyfriend, and then 8 years later they ran into each other, and they're happily married now with two kids. It was just a case of not being mature enough, and ready for marriage life, and going off to schools and adulthood. No animosity in their break up, just college far away from each other. Not all exs are exs because it was bad.
called off the wedding ? Yeah I dont think I wouldve picked up his call lol
Ashanti is not single HOWEVER she did state that there was a lot that happened in that relationship that was left unresolved.
Right so they still could possibly resolve them and reunite in the future. It's possible. The love is clearly still there, she was blushing on that live and him damn near running just to hug her during the show.
@therealdaytime the lighting looks a little to dim. Makes you want to sleep even though interesting convos. If you can make it brighter from up top that would be nice!
I agree; it feels like a dim, stuffy, therapy session. Lol They need better lighting!
Ben pulled off the wedding last minute! so i would never if i was JLo would go back to Ben.
Ashanti is always looking 🔥 but that Nelly ship has sunk 😅
Ashanti is soo beautiful
Ben left jen becos of the publicity it was too much fo him back then dats why he left
Yes and it brings up lot of insecurity from him too.
I thought Jeannie said she would never say never lol 😆
Well....I married my ex. But we never really stopped communicating and we were only broken up for a short period of time
If you ex was married and got three children and and wanted to get back to you. Would you?
@@MrAllysonn that's not the point because this question is irrelevant because it doesn't apply to me. Also of that's what Ben and Jen want, it's their business
It depends. How did we break up, does it seem like they have evolved and improved? That's what I would be figuring out. If they seemed to have grown and improved then sure.
Luv the new set ladies and I agree with all of you ladies I think it depends on what you broke up for because people can change but I also agree people
Are exes for a reason !!!
lol another NEVER EVER Jeannie is saying; be careful with the word never Jeannie love you
I have a friend like J Lo. Just can’t be single. And I think she went back to Ben because she just simply can’t be single. She always feels the need to have someone there. Always have someone she can cuddle with, make love with... I honestly think she’s already seeing why Ben is her ex for a reason... But she just can’t be alone so she won’t break it off until she knows someone else will be there
It depends why we broke up? In her case, nah, because I have heard he did her dirty!
Better things lie ahead, no need to go back to a person that became an ex because they didn’t appreciated value you. ✌🏾
A ex is a ex for a reason goodnight and goodbye👋 the end.
Adrienne I agree with you Ben is shady but Jen loves complicated relationships. Gosh that is crazy. Ben cheated on his wife Jenifer Garner. I don’t know he doesn’t seem like a good partner
I love that blue eye look Adrienne is wearing. I've only ever been with my husband but I'm chiming in to say I agree with Garcelle. They are your x for a reason. Just wish them well and leave them alone.
I miss the table set up😬 you ladies look beautiful though.
Question? What in the hell Jennifer López doing? And you guys really thinks that's ok how she is jumping from man to man. What is that teaching her children? I believe she needs to stop an exam why this is happening so much to her. Regular, average, poor people like myself they call us very bad names if we was to do what she is doing. I just don't understand how her relationships are so glorified. Hollywood world sometimes u have to call a spade a spade ♠️. I just pray she take a break from it all for now, get her soul cleanse by asking got to save her & focus on herself & family & stop thinking she has to be that women with a man on her arm. Lord please have mercy on her. Amen & May God Bless!
Love u alllllll jeannie congrats once again soooooo happy😍😍😍
JLo and Ben need to move on. Tired of them!!! Move the hell on!!! Nope I am with Adrienne, Ben is disrespectful to Jen Garner. I see a crash coming with JLo and Ben!! Horrible.
Here’s my two cents. In my opinion the NUMBER ONE rule about getting back with your EX is DON’T PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF. Don’t go off into the sunset thinking about the people you once used to be. It can only work if y’all both learned and grew so much since you last hurt each other that you found each other again where you were both supposed to be to be good for each other.
Adrienne : 🙄Who leaves Jlo?
Me: ARod🙄
I think that's silly that people look at women like J lo and say things like "who would leave her" , all we see is glam and an image, we don't know what she's like behind closed doors.
@@lailabeeba8016 exactly. Every man left her. No one wants to be with her hence they cheat. She does choose loosers. Think deep down she's nasty
@@bbdass4598 I just don't understand why people put her on a pedestal. That's just me.
@@lailabeeba8016 she has put herself there and people love following false prophets
*Nelly bum rushed and even PUSHED a couple ppl out his way to get to Ashanti...TOO BADD, HE LEFT A GOOD ONE...SO NELLY EAT CHA HEART OUT😝🤑😝 BC IT'S A NAH BRUH😄*
Watching the real everyday from Norway ❤️❤️ Jennie Congrats 🥰🥰 and Adrienne looks amaaaazing🥰🥰
People making it more than what is was. He stated he just was saying hello.
Rekindle your love from high school it could be your soul mate so many I have known including myself rekindle and the best choice of partner I have could chosen. My high school crush now husband can cook, can fix anything certify AC tech now, loved by his team and management exception of two jealous co workers, loved by the residents, it’s a Patriot who fought for his country, works hard he actually works hard and not just to get a paycheck, opens the door for me a true gentleman and loves me unconditionally and it’s a true Alpha male. I literally hit the lotto with him and vice Versa. God bless our Union. Today it’s hard to find a descent hard working man and a decent hardworking woman for men, because women are in the same level as men today.
I think it's safe to say that when you go to a JLo wedding you don't need to bring a gift. Do you bring a gift to a wedding when the bride is walking down the aisle for the 4th time?
Hey beauties missed yall 😘 glad you guys are back together at the studio ❤
YAAAAS now i can watch again! I stopped when it was online
Lol exes be getting back together nowadays 😂
Never ever in a million yr.
Omg. Never ever!
When the love is meant to be like Nelly and Ashanti giving it another chance is pure happiness and love!💕 ❤ Wishing them all the best!
All off you looking like an angels keep the videos coming icant whit any more watching from Israel i only see you in yout its not inf I need more and long apsods
I'm so excited they're Finally Back in the Studio and all are Looking Beautiful! I'm beyond Happy for Jeannie and J❤️❤️❤️
Who leaves Jennifer Lopez? Ummmm a lot of people have left her.
I have been thriving on the Girl Chat Vault this summer! It's good to see the ladies back. I am missing me some Tamera Mowry-Housley!
them sitting apart from each other breaks a dynamic they had when they were sitting together at the table, we want to see that dynamic again!!! make them sit together again!
For me it's a NO! But people can do what they want with their lives.
Adrienne...that hair ...
I think that the issue with Jen and Ben was that their breakup was mostly due to outside pressure. That Bennifer era of tabloid culture was insane. And I think that it was too much for him. He was used to being a media darling, not the butt of jokes. It also didn't help that they did two awful movies together. It seemed like everything he had built as a serious actor/screenwriter/director was destroyed with the media circus.
Now that they are in a different time in their careers, and that era of media has subsided, it makes sense that they can give it another go. Especially, if they never wanted to break up in the first place.
No. It was Ben and Jlo. They had issues. Ben was in lust and so is Jlo. He couldn't commit to her because she's not stable and not is he. It's lust
Love this setup!! Seems like we are really girl chatting
JLo is living the real life Carrie and Big story.
Who cares about a stupid hug there’s more significant issues that are going in the world. I would like to hear Garcelle comments on what’s going with her Haitian people at the Texas border.
She did right here on the Real. Look it up
@@josephlovely7759 thanks 🙏. My apology to her.
Loni's dress is so fly!! 🔥
I am soooo friggin happy they are back in the studio
CAN I HAVE A CHANCE TO HAVE A GOOD WOMAN? ⚘👌🏽🤵🏽👌🏽
Im really mised this in person girl chat😩😍
Idk why but I miss the old setup
I said that too that was amazing after all that time..
Okay. I like this vibe.
I hope things work out for Jennifer and Ben, if not, she’s going to be hurt. I would not have gone back to him.
I guess no one can controls being hurt in a relationship. I'm sure jennifer also hurt many partner including cris judd, which publicly apologised while being married to Marc while ago.
I've heard they became an EX for a reason
Im totally missing the studio audience applause. I keep clapping by my self when they make good points (which is all the time) And it feels inappropriate bc no one else is applauding LOL
A few guest would be nice, to hear real reactions: claps, laughs and gasps🥺🥺
Agreed 🥺
