The Real Housewives of Atlantacast learned some unexpected news during Sunday’s episode.
Shereé Whitfieldhosted aSip & See eventto introduce friends and family to her granddaughterMecca Joie Whitfield, who was born last July to her sonKairo, 27, and his girlfriend, Alina Baber. But the celebratory vibes shifted as Shereé’s ex-husbandBob Whitfieldposed for a photo with an unknown woman.
As they watched the moment unfold, Shereé’s castmatesSanya Richards-Ross,Kenya MooreandKandi Burrussspeculated whether the mystery woman was a new girlfriend or an unknown sister — and even questioned whether she was “another daughter we don’t know about.”
As Kandi, 47, asked Shereé, 53, about the woman, Shereé said she didn’t know. She then asked Bob, 51, to introduce her to the woman, who is named Candice. Bob referred to Candice as his “daughter,” which shocked Shereé.
Shereé and Bob were married from 2000 to 2007, and the young woman he called his daughter looked to be in her 20s.
“So before we got married, Bob said he had two kids. We then had two more kids,” Shereé said in a confessional. “So 26 years later, come to find out, he has three kids [before our marriage].”
In a separate confessional, Kenya, 52, noted that she “actually met Bob when he was cheating on Shereé with a friend of mine, and I didn’t know he was married to Shereé.”
“We got a lot of reveals going on tonight: ‘Meet my daughter — that you didn’t know anything about,'“Cynthia Baileyquipped in her own confessional, adding, “Where’s the cake?”

TheRHOAladies began grilling Bob about why he failed to tell Shereé about this secret daughter. “We were on a need-to-know basis back then,” said Bob.
“But you were married to her!” Kenya responded.

Bob then explained that Candice “started coming around later in life.” And when Kandi asked whether Shereé knew about Candice, he said defensively: “I didn’t know it was going to be Bob’s inquisition.”
“Well, how you thought you was gonna just drop this type of surprise and we wasn’t gonna have no questions?” said Kandi. Just to add onto the shock, Bob replied, “Wait ‘til I bring the twins” — but after waiting a beat, he admitted, “I’m just kiddin’.”
After Bob stepped away, Shereé returned to her conversation with the ladies. She then noted how Bob has “been a piece of s— and still a piece of s—.”
