Kenya Moore is back on the market. The 44-year-old cast member of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” took to Instagram to share with fans the status of her relationship with James Freeman, as reported by Yahoo Celebrity. Moore met Freeman with the help of “The Millionaire Matchmaker” Patti Stanger.

According to a statement on Kenya’s Instagram page, her former boyfriend “was married a week after the show aired.” The “RHOA” star said she was “astounded and devastated” upon hearing the news. Rather than be bitter, the former Miss USA closed out her statement by wishing James well. Here’s the full text:

“Unfortunately, I just learned today that the man I met and fell in love with from ‘Millionaire Matchmaker’ was married a week after the show aired. I am astounded and devastated to have learned of this news via social media as opposed to from him directly. However, I still believe in love and my heart remains open to the man God has for me. I wish him well.”

The “RHOA” star’s episode premiered March 22 during Season 8 of “The Millionaire Matchmaker.” The reality-television personality revealed then her lack of success in relationships was directly related to her abandonment issues. After the episode, Kenya took to the photo-sharing site to let her fans know that she and her beau were still going strong, completely unaware that he was hiding this secret. In a photo caption, she called James “a King,” and thanked Patti and her fellow “Real Housewives” star Cynthia Bailey for helping to bring them together.

Neither Patti nor Cynthia have addressed James’ marriage.
