NeNe Leakes Wedding: RHOA Star Invites Kim Zolciak, Former Enemy & Co-Star; Plans to Lose 10lbs for Nuptials (VIDEO)
NeNe Leakes is set to walk down the wedding aisle for the second time this year with her ex-husband and fiance Gregg Leakes and the television star is so ecstatic about her upcoming nuptials that not only will she invite all of her Bravo and NBC co-stars but she will invite her former nemesis Kim Zolciak!
NeNe revealed that she and Zolciak became friends again during the taping for the upcoming season 5 three-part reunion special for The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
"I will definitely invite every castmate from every show I'm on. I don't know who's available but they're all on the list! RHOA's Cynthia [Bailey] will be a bridesmaid. And Kim [Zolciak] will be invited as well," NeNe surprisingly told InTouch.
"And I believe she'll come," NeNe added, because she is "extending an olive branch."
Nene and Zolciak have been on-and-off again friends since the show's first season. During one heated argument, NeNe famously called Zolciak a "dirty, low-down monkey with a wig."
In the issue, NeNe also discussed her wedding dress. NeNe revealed she has yet to pick out her wedding gown but she is "still interviewing designers" and plans to lose 10 lbs. in time for the nuptials.
"They're sending me sketches," she said of her various wedding designer candidates.
As for the actual ceremony, NeNe plans to have a "big fantasy wedding" in Atlanta this summer.
The couple met in 1996 and divorced in 2011 after 13 years of marriage. Together they have a son, Brentt. NeNe has another son from a previous relationship. Gregg said that the couple split when "fame got to (NeNe's) head" after he had invested $300,000 in her career during their marriage.
Leakes confirmed her reconciliation with Gregg during her appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on Jan. 3. The show's host inquired about a series of photos NeNe posted on Twitter on New Year's Eve.
"Well.... a little after midnight, I was asked this beautiful question: 'Will you marry me -- again?'" The NBC and Bravo star said she accepted Gregg's proposal that night.
'We were with our son - Gregg somehow got him out of the condo and had a big heart made of Hershey's Kisses on the bed. It was sweet! I said yes right away," she told Fallon. She explained why she took him back during the late night chat.
"When I started living my dream, things changed. I started making more money than him. He'd say "You don't need me anymore," but I really did," she told the late night talk show host.
Leakes currently stars in NBC's new comedy The New Normal as Rocky, an assistant with major attitude to Bryan Buckley, played by Andrew Rannells. She also appears in Season 5 of Bravo's hit The Real Housewives of Atlanta. The season 5 finale airs March 31 and RHOA's three-part reunion special begins on April 7.
