Kevin Hart’s proposal to girlfriend Eniko Parrish had impeccable timing yesterday. While the comedian was down on one knee professing his love for his girlfriend of five years, his ex-wife Torrei Hart, and mother of his two children, was making her television debut on VH1′s Atlanta Exes. It also happened to be Parrish’s 30th birthday.
In May, after Torrei told Entertainment Tonight that Parrish caused her and Kevin’s marriage to end, the Think Like a Man comedian took to Twitter to defend his now fiancée.
“My woman has nothing to do with my past marriage problems in any way shape or form,” he wrote. “It’s almost 7yrs total of me not being with my Ex … I guess giving a woman over 20k a month and still being there for her and being a incredible father isn’t enough!”
A lot of Torrei’s storyline on the reality show will center on her problem with Eniko being around her kids and over Kevin allegedly cheating with her well before their marriage ended. The VH1 star’s not going to get too stuck on that, though.
“This show is more so about us moving forward,” said Torrei. “I’m onto bigger and better things and just living my life post-divorce.”
This morning on the “The Ryan Cameron Morning Show,” Torrei commented on the engagement, “I think it’s beautiful. Love is beautiful.” Torrei is in a relationship of her own since the show was filming and is basking in the glow of her newfound love. However, when asked whether Kevin might cheat on Eniko, Torrei made the following point.
“He cheated on me. What makes her any different?”
