When Monica became Mrs. Shannon Brown, not everybody was feeling the love due to the circumstances beforehand and their seemingly quickie marriage. Now she's talking about ignoring the hate, being a traditional wife, and even her relationship with her in-laws.
Peep it after the cut....
Monica Brown chatted with Essence.com about her "New Life" with Laker Shannon Brown-- which is interestingly the title of her upcoming album dropping November 8th. Here's a few snippets:
Monica on being a 'traditional wife'
I cook for him. He can cook, but I don't think he should have to. I'm a traditional wife in ever since. I like the fact that he cleans his plate. That's a southern thing. I'm from Georgia.On if she's close with your new mother-in-law
Oh yeah! [Shannon interrupts with a big smile, “yes they are!”] He says we’re sickening. He’s always like, “you’ve been on the phone with her for two hours?” And then, our mothers are close too. We were looking for them for a whole two days before the wedding. They stayed gone and off shopping and doing their own things for two days.When we really got very, very serious in our dating we took both our families to Cabo. We wanted to take them away from everyone and all the busy places and just really get to know each other. That was everybody’s first meeting. I’ve never gone more than 48 hours without talking to his mother since then. His mom loves her baby, but what’s so amazing about my mother-in-law is that she says I wanted someone to love my baby the way I love him, for him, whether he’s playing ball or doing something else; I want someone to love my son through and through and she met me and she said, “you’re the real deal.” We’re a lot alike. We like the same things. We go to a lot of the same places. We get lost together.
On getting hate from media and commenters about how their relationship came about
Well, you know the way that I am now I have nothing to say, no response. The truth needs no support. I love my husband and he loves me and I think if you sit back and you watch and you pay attention you’ll see it yourself. I think that in the blogosphere the idea is to have the most controversial stuff up. They’re not saying anything about us that they’re not saying about other couples. There aren’t just stories about us up there. There are stories about lots of couples. I thank God for the fact that they’re not true and I have peace of mind.
