Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16’s new Housewife Shamea Morton often gushes over her husband Gerald Mwangi. The couple are certainly poised to be Atlanta royalty and a new Bravo power duo. Shamea is a successful multi-talented threat herself, working as a radio personality, a singer, and a dancer. The former RHOA Friend Of is also an actress whose credits include Will Trent and the classic movie Drumline. She was an Atlanta Hawks cheerleader from 2003 to 2014 and was on the Atlanta Falcons cheerleading squad for five seasons as well.
Meanwhile, Gerald is clearly quite the mover and shaker in his own right. As RHOA viewers saw with their gorgeous estate in the Season 16 premiere. Not to mention, when he gifted his wife a Rolls Royce for her birthday. Here’s everything you need to know about Shamea Morton’s husband Gerald Mwangi.
Who is Shamea Morton’s husband, Gerald Mwangi?
Shamea Morton has been with her husband Gerald Mwangi for over a decade now. The lovebirds met in October 2014 and were married in 2017.
Before he met Shamea, Gerald was born in Nyami, Central Kenya. Gerald was born in 1962 and is currently 63 years old. He attended University of Nairobi for his Bachelor of Commerce degree. While there, he also worked as an accountant. Gerald came to the United States in the 1990s to study Construction Engineering Management at East Carolina University Greenville. He graduated in 1999 and went on to have quite a successful career.
Today, Gerald and Shamea have two kids together. Their first daughter Shya was born in 2018 and is now six years old. Their second daughter Shiloh was born in 2023. Gerald and Shamea welcomed Shiloh via a surrogate. Because Shiloh was premature, the two-year-old has experienced some health problems.
Gerald and Shamea plan to use the same surrogate to expand their family in the future. Shamea said they are planning to have a third child, as they still hope to have a boy.
Does Shamea Morton have any ex-husbands?
According to her IMDb page, Shamea was previously married to King Solomon Smallwood Jr. However, we don’t know how long they were married, or when her first marriage ended. Shamea Morton’s age is 42 years old, so she would’ve met Gerald in her early thirties.
While Gerald is her second husband, Cynthia Bailey is convinced he should be Shamea’s last. As she joked when he presented Shamea with her Rolls Royce birthday present, priced at $430k. “If I had these kind of birthday presents,” Cynthia cracked, she would’ve “tried to make my marriages work!”
Shamea shared the moment she knew Gerald was the one. On the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 premiere, she recalled how they met at a nightclub. Later on, she attended a cookout at his house. At first, she assumed he had secret baggage or red flags, “cause ain’t nobody letting this good man just walk around Atlanta.”
Despite the fact that she “blew up his bathroom” after the cookout, Gerald asked her out on a date the next day. “Hallelujah, thank you Jesus, this man accepted me for me and all of everything I did to that man’s bathroom,” Shamea said. “And we ain’t parted ways since,” she added, gushing, “that man love me.”
In an Instagram post to wish her husband a happy 10-year anniversary, Shamea wrote, “You really can find love in the club.”
What does Shamea Morton’s husband do for a living?
On Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16, Cynthia was overwhelmed by the grandeur of Shamea and Gerald’s home. There wasn’t even an address on the invitation, just the name of the estate, Sterling Hall. “This is wealth, honey,” Cynthia said in a confessional while praising their home.
Producers then asked Shamea what Gerald does for a living. “He’s an African king,” Shamea said. Then she burst out laughing, adding, “No, that is totally not true.” Instead, she explained, “He does HVAC.” According to an article from 2023, Gerald is the CEO of a million-dollar company. His net worth is estimated to be $177 million.
As Shamea described it, Gerald accumulated his wealth because he has some pretty big contracts. She mentioned that his impressive work includes “some of the airports you walk through, my husband has built, manufactured, and installed the HVAC.” “So, there you go,” she added with a smile.
Real Housewives of Atlanta is available to stream on Peacock.
