After a week of Momma Dee claiming that Brian McKee is her man and McKee trying to squash those rumors, the “celebrity barber” and singer stopped to do an interview about a pay-it-forward campaign he’s working on, and to also spill some tea about where things stand between him and Andrea Kelly (their divorce should be finalized in the next couple of weeks). He revealed some interesting things about their relationship, including a claim that they have been married for more than a year and actually wed less than a week after meeting and hitting it off immediately. Crazy, right?
About That Bad Wedding Performance On The Season Finale Of “Hollywood Exes”:
“Was that a mess? That was a mess. They got me. I’m a tell you why they got me. As any singer will tell you, when you’re singing–one it was in the backyard, Nicole Murphy’s backyard. So, you’re outside, there’s no tent, then you don’t have any monitors to feed back what you’re saying. You don’t have an ear piece, and then to top it all off, I was up all late with the fellas the night before I did it. So no rest, no monitors, no ear piece? Disaster. It’s all good. You don’t have any feedback so I don’t know what I’m hearing so I can’t correct it cause I don’t even know what I’m hearing. They capitalized on that, they tweaked that a little bit and did something because at the end of the day, it’s about ratings. But I challenge anybody, if you don’t think I can do it, come see me.”
How They Met:
“I met her in the airport cause I had a layover in Chicago before I went to Ohio. I met her in the airport on the way back to Chicago. I met her, and I didn’t know who she was. Before I got into reality TV I didn’t watch reality TV. But my brother knew who she was so he introduced me to her, and they laughed and joked and then we laughed and joked and he told me later who she was…we kind of just hit it off. She was funny as I don’t know what! She started speaking spiritual things, and that’s my language. You get to talking about Jesus, we can go there all day and all night. Not to be deep and not to be spooky, I just know where I come from. She started talking and we shared different things and different experiences and we caught eye and we just knew it was something there and we just went from there. It was all uphill from there.”
Why He Says They Got Married Six Days After Meeting:
“I know it’s gonna sound weird and crazy, but you know if I be honest, and be truthful, we were um, we were married in six days….We went from the airport to Chicago, I went back to Ohio. Six days later I went back to Chicago and we got married at my sister’s house. And the premise of that was because she’s, you know — of course nobody’s perfect — but she’s a Christian, I’m a Christian. And we said, ‘We’re hitting it off and we got this vibe goin’, but we don’t want to shack, and live over with the kids.’ And you know, if we’re gonna do it the right way, let’s do it the right way. She didn’t want to wait and I was like, ‘That’s the right thing to do.'”
Why He Wishes He Would Have Waited:
“Honestly, yeah…I do now know that you can’t make permanent decisions on temporary feelings or temporary situations or potential temporary situations. If I had to do it all over again I would have probably dated her a lot longer and got to know her better. And got a chance to clean up some things in my life. It moved so fast…I didn’t get to shut doors and close doors and cut off people. And in my mind in some weird kind of way I thought I was going to get married and they would all just disappear. It don’t work like that…I thought I was going to bypass the closure part but when I got to TV they just came out the woodwork.”
Why He Didn’t Sign A Prenup:
“Actually, no we didn’t. She talked about it. I talked about it. I was willing to sign it, she said it wasn’t necessary. You know because that kind of puts a ‘I don’t trust you’ in a situation. But more than that, I’ll just say, there wasn’t no need for a prenup. I didn’t wanna take anything then and I don’t wanna take anything now. Contrary to popular belief, I was already established when I met Drea. I’m not taking anything but what I came with.”
