Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman filed for divorce in February 2023, but they're still cohabitating in their Atlanta home. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta premiering March 9 on Bravo and streaming next day on Peacock.

The announcement for The Real Housewives of Atlanta's upcoming Season 16 gave new insight into Drew and Ralph's living situation. 

As Drew focuses on motherhood, she also "has her sights set on reaching her goals, including having an amicable divorce to end a dramatic roller coaster of a marriage with Ralph, who takes his court-ordered residence in the family basement (or as Ralph calls it his lower-level penthouse), until the divorce is finalized," the announcement reads.

Season 16 will also show Drew "reclaiming her life" as she moves forward, focusing on "rebuilding friendships" and "using her music as an outlet to cope with all the emotional turbulence." However, Drew finding a new music partner in Dennis McKinley (Porsha Williams' ex-fiancé) causes "things get complicated when there are two sides to a story."

Drew Sidora's past comments about cohabitating with Ralph Pittman 

Back in July 2024, Drew spoke with People magazine about her and Ralph's living situation, saying drawn-out court proceedings were to blame for their continuing to cohabitate. 

“It’s still not settled,” the Georgia mom stated about her divorce battle. “I didn’t even know that could happen. I was like, ‘What?’ But yeah — he is living in the basement." 

At that time, Drew shared she wasn't exactly pleased with the "crazy" arrangement. 

“It’d be much easier if we were able to move on separately,” she added. “You know, out of sight, out of mind, with your own space and your own energy. But that’s clearly not in the cards. So sharing space has been a double whammy. We’re kind of like, the blueprint for a s--t show divorce.”

She continued: “So I’m just learning how this process can go in the worst-case scenario. And I’m taking it literally one day at a time.”
