'Starter Wives Confidential' Spoilers, Premieres Tuesday, Jan. 29 On TLC (PREVIEW VIDEOS)
TLC will debut the newest addition to their reality show roster with a new docu-series, "Starter Wives Confidential" on Jan. 29. The network held a private screening of the premiere episode on Jan. 23 and concluded the event with a panel featuring exclusively the cast members. It was hosted by fashion model/actress Liris Crosse.
"Starter Wives Confidential" stars women who were married to or were in longterm relationships with celebrities. The show follows their journey as they begin a new chapter in their lives following their breakups. The stars are called "Starter Wives" because not only did they help their famous former partners start their careers but they themselves are starting their lives over as single mothers and entrepreneurs.
The following is a list of the show's cast members and their affiliation:
Zakia Baum: Ex-girlfriend of rapper Jermaine "Maino" Coleman; mother of his son.
Cheryl Caruso: Ex-wife of mobster Phillip Caruso, and mother of his 2 daughters.
Josie Harris: Ex-girlfriend of Floyd Mayweather; mother of his three children.
Monica Joseph-Taylor: soon to be ex-wife of Aston "Funkmaster Flex" Taylor; mother to his two children.
Liza Morales: Ex-girlfriend of Lamar Odom; mother of his three children.
Tashera Simmons: Ex-wife of Earl "DMX" Simmons; mother of four of his children.
Enstars attended the New York City screening of the premiere episode. The sneak preview offered several spoilers for fans that highly anticipate the show. The biggest spoiler was about Morales, who previously dated Odom, for ten years. Morales revealed that she has not been intimate with another man since she broke up with the NBA player four years ago. Odom meanwhile, has moved on from the split and is now married to reality star Khloe Kardashian after a month-courtship in 2009.
"It will be four years since I've had sex," Morales told her cast mates at a gathering.
Monica Joseph-Taylor, the soon to be ex-wife of Aston "Funkmaster Flex" Taylor, was shocked at the news. "Oh I did not know Liza was a Lamar virgin," she told the cameras. "I knew she hadn't been with anyone AFTER Lamar but I didn't know she hadn't been with anyone BEFORE Lamar!"
Morales explained her lengthy history with Odom into further detail in the episode.
"I've known him since I was 14. I was with him since we were 16," she said about their dating history. "We were childhood sweethearts!"
She also revealed that the former couple's third child, Jayden, passed away at six and half-months old. And their relationship ended because they could not move on after the loss of their young child.
