Corey Filed for Divorce in 2013
Some may wonder when Corey Baylor and RHONY star Racquel Chevremont officially split. Well, it seems to have been over a decade since it all went down between the two.
Baylor filed for divorce from the reality TV star in January 2013 (per Trellis Law).
While the specifics of the divorce remain a private matter between the two, the reason behind the split likely had to do with Chevremont's coming out as a queer woman around that time.
Speaking in a Real Housewives confessional on the subject (as transcribed by Bravo), Chevremont told the network that meeting her now co-star and fellow queer woman, Jenna Lyons, was a massive moment in her life.
Chevremont posited when she met Lyons, her new friend was "in the middle of a divorce and coming out," and seeing what Lyons was going through "validated" Chevremont's experience:
"I met Jenna in 2012, just as she was in the middle of a divorce and coming out, and I was doing the same. It almost validated what I was going through. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not met someone else who was going through the exact same thing."
Corey & Racquel Have Two Kids Together
During their time together, Corey Baylor and Racquel Chevremont welcomed two children into the world, whom they still co-parent.
Named Corey Jr. and Elle, the two kids still live with their mother in New York City and often appear in RHONY Instagram content.
