Nene Leakes Wedding: 'This Is Not Just About A Wedding, This Is About A Marriage', Nene Says About New Spin-Off 'I Dream Of Nene'

It was 2 months ago when Brave released Nene Leakes wedding photos. Last month, Rollingout.com reported that the premiere episode of 'I Dream of Nene', which is a spin-off of the reality hit show Real Housewives of Atlanta gained an audience of 1.5 million viewers based from the survey given by AGB Nielsen. The premiere episode was shown last September 17.

This is not the first time that Nene Leakes is getting married. Nene and Gregg filed for a divorce in April, 2010 during the season 3 of Real Housewives of Atlanta. The divorced was finalized in September of the following year. A few months later, the couple announced their engagement and got hitched the second time around on June 222nd of this year, in luxurious $1.8 million wedding at the  InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta Hotel, says Daily Mail.

Entertainment Weekly had the chance to sit with Nene Leakes to talk more about the new show, 'I Dream of Nene' spin-off. She dishes on how she feels about being offered a spin-off of the show and how the new and the old series were different from each other.

In the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Nene talks about how people didn't know that Gregg had 5 children from his previous relationship and they never really talked about it. In an interesting twist of 'I Dream of Nene', Nene discusses that they finally have the chance to talk about that.

She tells Entertainment Weekly, 'This is not just about a wedding, this is about a marriage, because Gregg and I are not children. I've been there once before, and it was to Gregg. We're talking about a marriage, longevity, how we make this marriage last forever. A lot of people who are married for the first time or they're young couples, their focus is on the wedding, how beautiful the wedding is going to be. We're focused on our marriage, our children, our future.'

With the progression of the show, it looks like we will see much more than the lavish Nene Leakes wedding preparation. Nene tells E!, 'I Dream of Nene: The Wedding', focuses on how to make the marriage work for both parties.

It looks like her relationship with Gregg's children has improved. She tells EW, 'I love Gregg's kids. I'm sure Gregg's ex-wife is watching the show, seeing me with them. I've never had anything against her, but the relationship with Gregg's children is good. I love Gregg's older children like they were my own. We're all learning to communicate better, all Gregg's kids are good, it's just the oldest one - he's a bit more outspoken. The rest of them are pretty quiet.'

Watch I Dream of Nene on Bravo, on Tuesdays, 9PM.
