Ayers was caught in a scandal last year after he was secretly recorded calling Gunvalson expletive names and threatening domestic violence during a drunken rage. Still, it looks like Gunvalson has forgiven him and they're stronger now than they were ever before.

"Don't we all want to feel loved and reaffirmed that we are attractive?" Gunvalson wrote on her Bravo blog. "He's very complimentary to me and he always makes me know I'm important to him. This is one of the many thing I enjoy about him."

She added, "In my past relationships, I didn't have that and I have realized through counseling and many books that my love language is affirmation. Once you know your love language, it's easier to decide who you match up good with."

Just earlier, Gunvalson slammed her critics after being criticized for her relationship with Ayers. The drama unfolded when the reality television star posted a photo of her and her on-again, off-again boyfriend at a recent Toby Keith concert on her Instagram account. Fans immediately began commenting on "toxic" Ayers, who has been accused of being verbally abusive to her in the past.

Gunvalson fired back at her critics, writing, "Hey everyone that seems to think its 'ok' to bad mouth someone you have never met... Well it's NOT! If you love me, respect my decisions and support me," adding, "If I'm wrong, then I'll be the one to blame and I'll be the one to suffer the consequences of a broken heart."
