Robin Thede recently revealed why she turned down five different marriage proposals.
Appearing on Baby, It’s Keke Palmer, Thede explained why she hasn’t “jumped the broom yet.”
She said, “I’ve been proposed to five times, and I’ve said ‘no’ five times.” Thede also said that “they were from five different men before sharing the story for each proposal.”
“The first one, He had a ring. He said, ‘I want to marry you. You are the love of my life. There’s only one catch. I want to live in separate houses because I can’t really be around you for more than three days at a time,” said Thede. “So that was a no.”
[Proposal number] two was a third date, drunk in Palm Springs. He was drunk. And he said, “I want to marry you.” Stood up on the table,” Thede said.
“Didn’t have a ring, but the next day I was like, “So, do you remember what you did?” Because I thought it was a joke. He said, “No, I really want to marry you. Will you marry me?” And I was like, “No. You have an alcohol problem.”
Thede’s third proposal took place in Venice, Italy.
“He turns to you and says, ‘I think we should spend the rest of our lives together.’ You hug him, kiss his neck. But right before you can say yes, his phone beeps. He’s getting a text,” she recalled. “And he says, ‘One second,’ and turns around. Now, mind you, I’m hugging him from behind so I can see over his shoulder. He opens his text, and the last thing he sent before her text is a picture of his d—k.”
Her fourth proposal almost took place during a taping of her BET show, The Rundown with Robin Thede. After being alerted to the plan, she declined.
THE CHALLENGES OF DATING
Palmer also shared about her dating challenges.
“They just want me to fix their life, like my name is Iyanla. And I think they want to be me,” Palmer joked. “But at least people fall in love with us fast. We’re lovable.”
