[Kerri] Previously on "Belle Collective" --
[Selena] But see, Marie will probably
grab this and put some tights on.
We ain't doing no tights, no bodysuit.
The Belles are planning this speed date for Marie.
-Bring two friends. -[Matt] Two?
-For Marie. -Single.
Go and claim your bachelor.
[overlapping shouting]
[cheering]
That's the one that I wanted!
You know, Kerri don't listen to too many people.
Maybe you can give some advice to -- to Kerri.
You got any boxing gloves around Mississippi,
in the event I need them?
I'm wondering if Lateshia know about this
because I was talking to Mike, and Glen brought up
a divorce lawyer.
Who -- wait, what? Who now?
Mike told me about the conversation.
And...divorce came up.
A divorce lawyer.
Selena should have told me this prior to tonight.
Alright, see y'all.
I hope she's not upset with me.
[Marie] She about to go get in that ass.
[Tambra] Yes.
[ringback tone]
[Glen] Hey. What's going on?
[dramatic tones play]
Wh -- what's going on?
So I'm sitting here literally at this event for Marie.
And Selena just said that Glen and Mike went out to hang out.
I was like, "Yeah, they've been -- they've been hanging out."
And she was like, "Well, Glen said that --
"that he was getting a divorce,
that he went to see a divorce attorney."
And I'm like, "What the [bleep]?"
So did you go see a divorce attorney?
Did you go see a divor -- no, I'm asking you,
did you go see a divorce attorney
and you didn't let me know anything about it?
What'd you go see an attorney for?
But I'm saying you went and had that conversation
with Mike instead of having that conversation with me.
I'm not accusing you.
I'm telling you, you went to see an attorney.
Why the word divorce come up?
See, if you would have been, you didn't even tell me nothing
about a divorce attorney, an attorney at all.
Glen, you know what? At this point, at this point,
whatever.
Whatever, [bleep].
After the fact.
You know what? I'm just -- bye, Glen.
I definitely need time to process all of this stuff.
And Glen -- for Glen's safety, he better be glad
he's out of town right now.
And I won't have a chance to talk to him until he gets back.
But I don't even know how I'm feeling right now.

-Are you gonna be dining in today? -Yeah.
[Cliff] I'm meeting Latrice's mom for lunch today.
I was very surprised 'cause we don't talk one-on-one
that much, but she come to me and said,
"Cliff, I got something to talk to you about."
I knew it had to be something.
Do you want any chips and salsa to start with?
Yeah.

-[Cliff] Hey, how you doing? -Good.
-What you drinking on? -Sprite.
OK. So how's everything going?
[Cliff] Everything going real good.
[Gloria] How is the business?
You know, the last time I was there, y'all was building on
the cabinets and stuff, getting them ready. -[Cliff] Oh, yeah.
Where is everybody?
-Hey, mother. -[Gloria] Oh, hey.
I got to show you the Airbnb.
[Gloria] OK.
[Latrice] Anytime there's a new venture,
I always have to get my mom's approval.
I'm super excited to show her exactly what I've been
working on. -Oh, it is lovely.
I know.
I think we need to put, like, a rug or something
in here. -But it is beautiful.
When y'all think y'all gonna be ready to rent it out?
My relationship, like, a little, like, a mom and son.
She understands me.
We old school. She straightforward.
She's gonna tell you how she's gonna feel,
and she tells you what she's gonna do,
and she's gonna speak her mind -- that's her.
[Gloria] And what I wanted to sit down and talk to you about,
you know, Latrice is having surgery, right?
The surgery that she having, she don't take it seriously.
I tell her with the surgery, you need to get the surgery.
She postponed and put it off. See what I'm saying?
-She hard-headed. -That's her.
-See what I'm saying? -Mm-hmm.
So I've been telling her, "Hey, when you're gonna
schedule the date, like get the surgery?"
She'll change the subject.
Yes, I'm worried for Latrice.
I've been on her even to the day saying,
"You need to go and get this surgery.
"This is more important.
"Your health is more important than anything in the world.
So let's just get this done."
She said when she be talking to you,
you don't be listening.
I be listening.
That you not comprehending what she say.
-Like, you don't care her opinion. -No.
She said she want children.
-[Cliff] Wait, what? -She want a child.
A child, one.
My husband had been asking for years to have a baby,
have a family, have kids.
So now that I do want a baby, he's like,
"I don't wanna have kids."
So y'all just gonna have to sit down and talk.
You have to have a conversation with him.
He always listens to you, so maybe when you talk to him,
he'll have a different story, a different tune.
So if we did it about ten years ago,
it'd been fine, but right now, mm.
Gloria is very protective of Latrice.
Don't you think y'all should have at least
one child together?
I'm older -- right now, my goal is to travel,
see the world. -[Gloria] Mm-hmm.
I'm not trying to go to Disney World right now.
At this age, this is what you wanna do, enjoy life.
The fruit of your labor.
So I'm not trying to have a child
that, you know, I can't keep up with.
When we got married,
she told me she didn't wanna have no kids.
-[Gloria] Mm-hmm. -So...
-Mm-hmm. -And...
She should have said, "Hey, I'm married, I want kids."
She should have had a child,
and the child would have been like ten now,
I would have been good.
Like I told her, I said, "I don't wanna be
cleaning no diapers."
Unless you're gonna retire and you're gonna clean
the diapers. -I'm willing to help her.
I'm gonna retire.
You did.
[woman] Welcome to Gloria's Retirement Dinner!
Gloria has arrived.
I just appreciate my mom so much.
And I just want you to know that I love you for everything
that you've ever done for us.
And I told Trice --
Well, you'll see. You know I love my baby.
-You know that. -[Cliff] Yeah.
[Gloria] Let me ask you this.
Do you think my daughter would be a good mom?
By her mama speaking up, I know it's very important,
that mean that she really wanna have a child.
So it's on my mind weighing heavily.
If it happened, I might accept it.
But I hope it don't happen.
Let her have at least one child.
Everybody need one child.
[grunts]
I'm gonna think about it. There's a lot to think about.
Oh, we're making progress now.
[Cliff] Well.
[Lateshia] Coming up on "Belle Collective" --
[Marie] Just a little one-two.
[singing] Pretty lady, you're fine.
You smell so sweet.
I love the way you're sexing me.
Oh, baby, baby, you got that juice.
Ooh, that was good!
Eleanor, that's your daughter.
Kerri is doing too much.
My son cannot relax and take a break 'cause she's gone.
I can't relax and take a break either.
A woman like me don't get to relax.
Marlene, I got three restaurants.
One is in peril.
I do not like to talk to you about certain things
because I just feel like my opinion don't matter.
I understand you want a baby. I understand that.
OK, well, just say yes and then we'll...
But my body ain't ready to say yes.
So, do we need to do a Lateshia and Glen

-Hi, Marie's date. -Hello -- how are you?
[Latrice] Marie chose Carlos for her speed date,
and I decided to host their first date here at Taste.
Go and claim your bachelor.
-Contractor, baby, the contractor. -[indistinct shouting]
[cheering]
-Are you excited? -Yes, I am, yes I am.
Alright, so first and foremost,
what are your intentions with my fellow Belle?
OK.
My first impression of Carlos is quiet.
I'm just trying to figure him out and see
if he's a good match for Marie.

-[Latrice] Hi, Marie. -Hi, Latrice.
-You -- -[smacking kisses]
I'm here at Taste with my date.
-Hi. -Hello.
[Marie] Hello.
This is my first date since things ended with Cedric.
So, you know, I'm a little nervous and I'm also excited.
-So good to see you. -[Marie] Yeah.
I've been looking forward to this.
-Really? -[Carlos] Yeah.
So I shuffled some things around.
-You did? -So, Marie, tell me about you.
I am a healthcare entrepreneur.
-I work as aerospace contractor -- yes. -Aerospace.
We provide aircraft parts for the government.
I travel the world.
You know, we provide the military with what
they need to stay in the air.
-I have four children. -Mm-hmm.
And my oldest is 27.
And I also have three grandkids.
So what about you? Do you have kids?
Yes, I have four children. My son, he has four.
I absolutely adore and love children.
So Carlos having children and grandkids, hey,
it's not a problem for me.
So when you're dating, what type of woman
are -- do you look for?
What do you look for in a significant other?
It's what meets the eye in the beginning
to spark an interest or an attraction.
So when you saw me, were you attracted to me?
Did you like what you see?
Yeah, you're a pretty lady.
-OK. -And I love your makeup.
-[both laugh] -Thank you.
Well, let me just be clear.
I don't have to wear makeup.
-I und -- oh -I have flawless skin.
Like, I wear it because I like it,
but I don't need makeup. -[Carlos] Yeah.
-I understand, I understand. -Yeah.
-I can go without it. -That's beautiful.
Yeah, I can go without it.
-I'm a singer, I'm a solo artist. -Really?
-[Carlos] Yeah. -So you can sing.
I'll let you be the judge of that.
I gotta hear this.
I gotta hear you hit this note.
You gotta hit this note with me tonight.
Just a little one-two.
[singing] Pretty lady, you're fine.
You smell so sweet.
I love the way you're sexing me.
Oh!
[singing] The way you're rolling, nice and slow.
[laughing]
[singing] You keep me coming back for more.
[normally] So far, everything is going great.
You know, I'm -- he's a vibe.
I'm enjoying the conversation.
And he can sing.
[singing] Oh, baby, baby, you got that juice.
Yeah.
You got that juice.
That was good.
I guess I got that juice. It's cute.
But this is definitely beginning to become a cycle
in my dating life, me meeting men who go over and beyond
to shower me with so much affection and romance.
[singing] Happy birthday...
to you. -[cheering]
I'm expecting that because that's what I'm used to.
I wanna be shown something a little different.
[Carlos] So, I have an interesting question.
[Marie] Uh-huh?
What is a deal breaker for you?
A deal breaker for me would be...deception.
Lies and deception.
I feel like in a relationship with your partner,
you should be able to be vulnerable and feel protected.
-I agree, I agree. -[Marie] Yeah.
Loyalty is -- it means a lot.
I pride myself on loyalty.
I am a very straightforward person.
You know, I think it's important to let
your partner know that you're unhappy.
-I agree. -[Marie] Yeah.
And it's all about communication.
After everything I've gone through with Cedric being
a habitual cheater, I don't want to go through that again.
I want to definitely give Carlos a fair shot
and just -- and just to see where things go with him.
[Carlos] So, after that conversation this evening...
-Mm-hmm? -...you still think you made the right choice?
In this moment, it feels right, but I don't know.
Only time will tell.
It's too premature for me to say,
"Oh, you're the one."
-There's no way for me to know that. -I understand.
Like, only time will be able to tell that.
I don't know if Carlos had the juice.
I feel like Carlos was easy to talk to.
We had a lot of things in common.
So I had a great time. He was a vibe.
Thank you.
Once again, you're really smelling good.
[both laugh]
[Carlos singing] Pretty lady, you're fine.
You smell so sweet.
[Kerri] Coming up on "Belle Collective" --
I'm concerned about my son.
Do you know how many mother-in-laws
would want a daughter-in-law like me
who does the type of things that I do
and bring to the family?
You're living your life for four other people.
And sure I am. And living a good one.
You see -- you see what we have built, OK?

-Kerri. -[Kerri] Hey.
Where are you?
[Kerri] Well, dang, y'all don't knock no more?
[Eleanor] You know I always just walk in.
Matt's mom, Marlene, claims she wanted to sit down
and chat with us today.
I know that that means she about to bring
some mother-in-law mess.
But baby, guess what?
The old folks got a saying,
and it's -- "Time enough for you."
And I'm bringing somebody who has time enough for her.
And that's my mama.
So Marlene, what you wanna chat with to Kerri and Eleanor?
Because one thing about it,
you don't bring dirt to the queens.
Where's Matt?
-Hey, El! -[Eleanor] Hey, babe.
-[Eleanor] How you doing? -I'm doing fine.
How you doing? Give me -- give me a hug.
-Where your bra? -What bra?
-[Eleanor] Give me a hug, honey. -[Marlene] Hey, my buddy.
I got a bra on.
Just because my stuff sit up real good
and nice and tight like your son,
like you got a problem with it?
Alright, don't y'all start.
So what's been going on?
Nothing, I'm in here trying to cook for your grandchildren,
both of y'all. -You cook now?
Do your son look like he missing a meal?
Mm-hmm.
So, recently, me and Brett, you know, my manager Brett,
we did an influencer Creator Collective.
[Eleanor] OK, what is that?
So, you know, I really wanted to give back
to the city of Jackson. -Let me ask you a question.
So how much time are you spending at home?
I -- you know, I know you got the kids.
You're a great mother,
but what are you doing for my son?
You know Matt is a man of very little words.
Mm-hmm. That's why I'm here.
So when he says something, I listen.
And he was, you know, telling me that he needed me
to, you know, spend more time with him, this, this, and this.
And I think that we have done that.
When did you do it? I mean, you're always gone.
[Kerri] We are a non-traditional family.
And I can't do it alone.
I own three million-dollar businesses.
And that's a lot for a woman to take on.
How many women do y'all know that's doing that?
I'm concerned about my son.
Well, what are you concerned with?
'Cause from what I understand, we --
You're always gone.
Do you know how many mother-in-laws
would want a daughter-in-law like me
who does the type of things that I do
and bring to the family? -I love it.
Now -- now, hold on.
Instead of looking at it like, "Kerri, where are you?"
And maybe, "On this day, you weren't with the grandkids,
with your kids."
Why not celebrate the fact of, "Oh, I am able-bodied
"and I have a car and I can come over here
and be with my grandkids in Kerri's absence?"
You're living your life for four other people.
And sure I am, and living a good one.
You see -- you see what we have built, OK?
Eleanor, that's your daughter.
I'm here because I'm concerned.
Kerri is doing too much. She's going too much.
My son cannot relax
and take a break 'cause she's gone.
I can't relax and take a break either.
When have you seen me relax?
-You don't wanna relax. -I don't get to relax.
A woman like me don't get to relax.
Marlene, I got three restaurants.
One is in peril.
Two are doing amazing.
I got a whole other job as an influencer
that props up the other three.
Respectfully, you bring in your thoughts,
your agenda, whatever it is, to the table.
And I've listened.
But at the end of the day, my mom ain't raised no fool.
She ain't raised no dummy.
She raised a hardworking, very intelligent woman,
a beautiful woman that pulled your son a long time ago.
Marlene, you know good and well me and Matt,
we done even have our times of being together and apart.
And guess what?
-[Marlene] You -- -Came right on back together.
-[Marlene] You pulled my son? -'Cause it wasn't no problem.
He didn't pursue you?
-Oh, Jesus. -You pulled my son?
We pulled each other.
My mother-in-law wants us to be living
in this '50s-Stepford-Wife type of mold.
And you know, you get burnt out like that.
I'm just never gonna be that type of a wife and mom
where all I'm doing is catering to my husband and my kids.
I don't even know why anybody would expect that of me.
Y'all feel like y'all need to go pursue everything else,
and I don't think that -- I feel like they should spend
more time around the kids, Eleanor.
Marlene, I got too much on my plate!
Like, I'm drowning. You don't see?
[Selena] Coming up, on "Belle Collective" --

something that I would not have --
I never thought would be possible
if you had asked me some years ago.
That just goes to show you we have really grown,

[Carlos] Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-[Tambra] Oh, wow. -I was like...
-[Marie] Like, it was refreshing. -OK.
-It was refreshing. -[Marie] I liked it.
[Marie] I enjoyed it.
Will you go on a second date with him?
Like, I'm outside. I'm dating.
I'm not in a relationship. I'm open.
And I don't wanna make a, uh -- settle for the first option.
Let me just say this. I love this.
So Latrice,
when is the fibroid surgery actually happening?
I'm gonna schedule it for a few weeks from now.
And then my next step is to actually have a baby.
I wanna, you know, I thought --
[Marie] Wait a minute.
-I rubbed off on you friend. -[Marie] Girl!
[Marie] You don't even believe that, Latrice.
No, no, no.
I want everybody in the Collective
to be the godparents. -What?
[Marie] I can't take you serious.
No, I am so serious.
What, even Marie?
Latrice wanting to have children, [scoffs].
Latrice can't have no children until she get these, uh,
get out them heels
and get them blood clots under control.
She needs to get her -- let her health
be the primary focus right now and not a baby.
-Who coerced you into saying you want a baby. -[Tambra] What?
No, nobody coerced me.
I feel like it was just so much going on,
and life is too short, and me almost, you know...
-We just talked about that. -[Marie] So you do want a baby?
-[Tambra] We just talked about that. -I do -- I do.
[Tambra] Some things happen in life that really can change
your perspective. -Yeah.
-A couple of years ago... -You was like, "No kids."
I mean, no, I always wanted children,
but at first, you know, I was like you.
-[Tambra] I wanted to be further along in my career. -Mm-hmm.
[Tambra] I wanted to be married.
I think I wanted everything
to be perfect. [Latrice] Perfect -- me.
So now that y'all have London-Symone...
-[Tambra] Mm-hmm. -How -- what does that look like
for you all, you know, when it -- as a couple?
How do y'all make time for y'all?
We don't.
I have a suggestion.
Because I want to have a child, and my husband, like,
he's a parent of five, right? And he's a little rusty.
We can take London-Symone off your hand for a minute.
Girl, Tambra's not gonna let nobody get her child.
-I am a friend, this is -- -You are my friend, girl.
But, no, no, no. Not releasing her baby.
Girl, we're gonna put her in a jacuzzi.
Girl -- no!
You do not put a two-year-old in a jacuzzi.
It's not even gonna be hot.
-No! -[laughing]
Look, I'm not a good babysitter.
I'm a great babysitter.
And the fact that I wanna babysit baby TJ,
I feel like who's better qualified than me?
Like, she has so much space to run around,
and just be herself.
Like, I'm literally excited about this.
I hope that Tambra considers letting me keep baby TJ.
I haven't heard Latrice talking about
babysitting babies before.
That makes me a little nervous.
I've just never known her to be around babies and toddlers.
It makes me nervous, very nervous.
Can babies go in the hot tub?
Ooh.
Let me think about that one.
-[Latrice] Think about it. Think about it. -[indistinct]
What did you guys think about the whole divorce thing
with Lateshia? -I know you talked to Lateshia,
Marie. -How's she feeling?
The way I felt like Lateshia took it was kind of like,
"Girl, Selena, why you running my business
through Tambra and Latrice? You should have told me first."
Selena was like,
"Well, Mike said he just mentioned a divorce."
OK, what about a divorce?
Did he file for divorce?
Or did he go to an attorney to discuss getting a divorce?
Or, you know, like what happened
when he went to talk to the attorney?
We are Collective, so we do share a lot of things.
Yeah.
But Glendale, in a serious situation like this, this is
something that you need to discuss with your wife first.
Do not give anybody else a chance.
[Marie] Absolutely, yeah, I agree.
-Yeah, to bring it to her. -[Latrice] Yeah.
-Mike shared it with Selena. [Latrice] Mm-hmm.
Selena should have took it to Lateshia.
-But she didn't see her first. -Why she bring it to y'all?
She didn't see her first.
And we were literally by the pool.
-It was just conversation. -Having a conversation.
-Nothing malicious. -Talking girl-talk.
It was nothing that was supposed to be,
like harmful, or anything. We're literally talking.
Just like Mike and his baby situation,
same thing with this divorce situation
with Lateshia and Glen.
It started with the men,
and I guess it spread into the Belles.
That's a conversation she need to have with Glendale.
[Tambra] Listen...
I have to go put London-Symone to bed, listen.
[overlapping dialogue]
That's another reason why I need a child,
'cause they're gonna be my excuse for everything, girl!
[laughing]
[Latrice] Coming up, on "Belle Collective" --
[Cliff] Ten years ago I wanted to have a child,
you didn't wanna have then.
I feel like it's when the female is ready.
Hey, when I was ready,
you could have got anything you wanted.
At the end of the day, what you gonna do?
-Not -- not have a baby? -I'm gonna go get an operation.
I wish you would.

to create a new company.
You know, there's some things that we need to iron out,
but hopefully in the next five years,
people in the baseball industry will recognize us as,
you know, one of the top boutique agencies in the game.
Did you do anything outside of your work?
Be a dad.
I'm asking because my mama, well,
she typically pops up unannounced. -Yes.
Your mama popped up unannounced.
-My mom? -At the same time as my mama.
-Hey, El! -[Eleanor] Hey, babe. How you doing?
-I'm doing fine. -[Kerri] How you doing?
-[Kerri] Give me -- give me a hug. -Where your bra?
What bra?
Your mama came for me.
Wait a minute. So what happened?
Marlene was up here on this whole tirade of,
"Kerri, you're a bad mom,
you're a bad wife, womp, womp, womp."
I'm sitting here with my mama, who worked
and had a whole entrepreneurship business.
Now, Marlene, I ain't never known you to do nothing
but sit at home with your children.
So she felt offended when you told her that?
No, she didn't feel offended --
Or did you get offended when she told you what she thought?
Matt, it was a whole plethora of offense.
You know how you say, [cheering] "Defense!"
When I used to cheer and be the captain?
It was "Offense!" The whole daggum time.
That's what it was.
I'm at my wit's end with all the issues
that we have going on
with the Brick & Spoon Mobile location.
I've tried to sit my wife down and talk to her
about how I feel, give her advice.
She hasn't received it well.
That being said, to me, I feel like it's finally time
to incorporate Queen C, is what I call my mom.
And maybe my mom can -- can help her figure things out.
You can't be so supportive that you go broke.
[Matt] I'm being too supportive.
Being supportive, right.
Maybe you can give some advice to Kerri
and tell her what I've been trying to tell her.
You got any boxing gloves around Mississippi,
in the event I need them?
That may or may not have been the best idea.
However, I'm at my wit's end with everything.
I can't take it anymore, so maybe my mom can help out.
Just straight up coming for me as a wife and a mom,
baby, miss me with all that.
We have a modern, non-traditional marriage.
It's fared well for us until other people start poking
into our relationship.
Maybe she was drinking. Maybe it was the drink.
Y'all shouldn't have let her drink.
How am I not letting a grown woman drink, Matt?
-Hide the alcohol. -She brought it.
She brought sand to the beach.
[slurps]
Marlene was acting like so brand new, like,
"Kerri, you're this and you're never here."
First of all, your son ain't never here.
-Matt, last I checked, you... -[Matt] I'm always here.
Matt, you're literally half of the year
you're on the road for work. -[Matt] That's not true.
We both have jobs where we move around a little bit.
I'm trying to figure out why they have a problem
with the I, I, I, when for all these years,
the I, I, I have been the one handling business.
We bought a home that needed to be renovated.
Who do you think was the principal on that job?
Me -- Matt brought the concept of Brick and Spoon to me.
But who hit the home run? Me!
So, Matt, I need you to stand up for me as your wife
against your bulldog of a mom
unless you wanna be out there
with her in the doghouse.
You and I get along very well
until two things are brought up.
Finances and Marlene.
That's the only time we have a problem.
The seed that your mother was trying to plant
is that you've been talking to her
about issues that you have in our marriage... -[Matt] I don't even talk --
...that I don't take care of you.
It disturbs me that you and my mother
wanna start all this drama. -Matt, that was her.
-I work hard every day, and as do you. -OK.
And I ain't got to answer to a damn body.
And I sure ain't gonna answer to Marlene.
I'm sorry. That's it.
Sorry, not sorry.
So my mom's issues and her critiques
when it comes to my wife,
that's her own personal opinions.
So the relationship that Kerri and I have is much different
than the relationship that my mother and my father had.
My mom was a stay-at-home wife, mother, she cooked,
cleaned, and we had dinner ready for us every day.
But she didn't work.
Kerri is much different, and she's very focused
on building something that she feels can take care
of our family in other ways.
I'm gonna talk to her.
What I don't allow is anybody, a Belle,
a mother-in-law, or otherwise, to malign my name.
Because what you see here is face value,
and I'm working for everybody that I love, and that's that.
And you have said and said
that you don't feel neglected so good.
And look, can we go inside and not neglect each other?
Mm-hmm. Whatever you wanna do.
But we got to start with them toes first.
Well, you come on and do them.

-[Latrice] Hey, babe. -What's up?
I brought champagne.
-What's the occasion? -[Latrice] We're fishing.
-That's the occasion. -[Cliff] Oh, OK.
We have a lot of land.
My husband is such a nature guy,
and I'm such a girly girl.
We never get a chance to enjoy it,
and he loves to fish.
So today, I decided to join him because I wanna participate
in something that he actually likes to do.
I haven't went fishing with him ever,
and I just wanna show him a little love.
Like, whatever you like, I'm here for it.
Show me what to do.
You're gonna do it like this.
You hold your hand.
-You gotta pull this back. -[Latrice] OK.
Then you throw it, then you let go.
I can do that.
And when you throw it, you got to let your hand go.
Oh, OK. Period.
And then we just wait?
Yeah, you got to wait till it caught.
Latrice grew up in Mississippi.
She -- she stayed, like, in, I guess, a city.
You know, she knew to go about block to block.
She don't know about the country miles, so we just
two different lifestyles, and we meet.
Oh, babe, I think I got something.
[Cliff] Well, pull it. Wind it.
[Latrice] Ooh, he small
We could throw him back
and let him grow a little bit more.
I don't know how to take it off.
To take him off, you got to hold him.
Grab the hook and pull it out of there.
Oh, and you want to throw him back?
[Latrice] No, I do not. You can throw him back.
At least I caught one.
Look at this.
Look what I just did.
See, when you put your mind to something,
anything is possible.
I wanna sit.
-Can we sit and fish? -Yeah, go ahead and sit down.
So I can drink my champagne.
Fishing is fun and all, but there's a lot that I need
to fill my husband in on.
So the crazy thing is, Teshia finding out that Glen
going to see divorce lawyers and trying to get a divorce.
So Selena ended up telling Teshia that Mike talked
to Glendale, and Glendale was venting out to Mike,
which he normally probably would have done it with you.
So, wait a minute, Glen going to the divorce lawyer
or Lateshia going? -We were surprised, too.
We was like, "What -- Glen?"
-[Cliff] Oh, Glen going to the lawyer. -Yes.
And I felt so bad for her in that moment because,
you know, you never wanna be blindsided.
If Glen did do that, like, that -- that's some low [bleep].
I do feel bad for Lateshia.
When it comes to finding out information,
I feel like it should definitely come from your spouse.
But the fact that Glendale moves funny and Selena is
the one who has to tell Lateshia
says a lot about him.
[Cliff] I -- I met your mom for lunch.
[Latrice] What did y'all meet about?
She was talking about
something about you wanna have a baby.
But I talked to you about that as well.
And you know what the answer was.
What?
No. I don't want a baby.
Why?
At my point in life, I just wanna relax.
-You have five kids, right? -[Cliff] Right.
You raised all five of your kids.
[Cliff] Right.
So you got the experience of having children.
[Cliff] A lot of your friends got children, right?
Yeah -- what does that have to do with me?
So why you weren't having none when they had one?
I wasn't ready at that time.
So what -- what did my mom say?
Because my mom knows me, more so than --
She told me that she'll keep the baby.
She'll retire if you have a baby.
And you just told her no?
I don't believe it, 'cause she's retired one time.
We throw the big old party.
And your mama get up and went to work the next day
and never stopped. -I mean...
So I don't believe your mama.
[Latrice] OK, so we're not solely relying on my mom.
If we do have a baby,
then there are nannies that we can have.
OK, then I got to pay for a nanny.
You pay for trips to go out the country that's thousands
and thousands of dollars so...
That's better than paying for a nanny,
a thousand -- thousand dollars.
Babies are expensive.
Ten years ago, I wanted to have a child.
And you didn't wanna have them.
-I wasn't ready. -[Cliff] OK.
So ten years ago, you should have took the baby.
I feel like it's when the female is ready.
[bleep] no, it's when the male is ready.
You should have got it when he was ready.
When I was ready,
you could have got anything you wanted.
At the end of the day, what you gonna do?
-Not -- not have a baby? -I'm gonna go get an operation.
-I wish you would. -[Cliff] [bleep]
That's definitely grounds for a divorce.
-Ain't no grounds for divorce. -You're holding hands with Glendale.
I would love to have a child with Latrice,
but my time done expired.
I don't wanna have a child right now.
This is the second time that husband
has brought up a vasectomy.
It's starting to feel like it's not a joke.
If my husband is serious about this vasectomy,
then we definitely have to have a conversation.
Because I'm your wife, if I'm telling that I want a baby.
I give you everything you want,
so why can't you give me this one thing that I want?
If my husband does not wanna give me a child,
that would be the end of our marriage.
Yes, I am definitely serious about wanting to have a baby.
He's not gonna stop my life in no shape or form
because he feels however he feels.
This is the reason why I do not like to talk to you
about certain things, because I just feel like
I could say something and you just
brush it over your shoulder... -I'm not brushing --
...'cause it's like my opinion don't matter when it comes to...
I understand you want a baby. I understand that.
OK, well, just say, "Yes," and then we'll be good.
I'm not -- I'm not -- but my body
ain't ready to say yes.
How the hell your body ain't ready to say yes
when you jump on top of me every other night?
That ain't my body.
So, do we need to do a Lateshia and Glen
and be celibate?
That'd be a good way not to have a baby.
You wanna joke about everything,
let's joke about it. -Yeah, that ain't joking.
Look, I can have a baby by whoever's ready to, um, give me a child.
And me and Glen can be best friends.
'Cause I'm gonna get that lawyer number he got.
Follow Glen off the cliff if you want to.
Make sure y'all holding hands.
OK, well, since you don't wanna have a baby
and you don't wanna ever listen
to [bleep] that I say, then...
-I listen. -Then [bleep] you.
Now, you ain't [bleep] me, 'cause that make a baby.
He doesn't wanna give me a baby?
I'm gonna get it one way or another.
She should have had the kid about ten years ago.
But she was too busy doing all her other stuff.
Then when she got old, she sitting by herself,
you can't have your cake and your pie and eat it too.
That's all I'm gonna say.
[Latrice] That's fine.
One way or another, I always get what I want.
[Cliff speaking]
[Kerri] Next on "Belle Collective" --
[Latrice] I keep pushing the surgery off,
because how is the business gonna function?
Do you think I need to talk to Cliff and you talk to Glen?
We need to do a swap. Let's do a swap.
I have tried to get through to my husband
for months now.
[Lateshia] So we gotta make sure the person who's keeping
the doors open, that she is healthy.
-She's together -- she's taken care of. -That'd be me.
-I keep the doors open. -No, you do not.
You cut the trees. Now, that's cute.
I like all this, now, that's what you're supposed to do.
Kerri's been stressed. She's got a lot on her plate.
She is not tamed. It's time for you to tame her.
[Kerri] Marlene, the last time you came to my house,
you really went crazy on me and my mama.
Matt, you believe that?
I feel like I'm in the middle of a cat-fight.
I feel like you should stand up.
There's a lion right here, baby.
I'm a big cat.
We came here to sit and have lunch.
She can't do that.
