Yandy Smith and Mendeecees Harris Split as He Admits They Were Never Legally Married
One of the most talked about relationships in Love and Hip Hop history just took a stunning turn.
Back in May 2015, fans watched Yandy Smith and Mendeecees Harris exchange vows during a lavish, live televised wedding special on VH1. At the time, the moment was framed as a fairytale ending for one of the franchise’s most prominent couples.
Now, nearly a decade later, Mendeecees is revealing that the story was never what fans thought it was.
Mendeecees Confirms the Breakup
During a recent interview with Yung Joc on the Streetz Morning Take Over, Mendeecees confirmed that he and Yandy have officially broken up.
But that was not even the biggest shock.
Mendeecees went on to admit that despite the televised ceremony, he and Yandy were never legally married.
Yes. The wedding millions watched was not legally binding.
The Truth Behind the VH1 Wedding
For years, fans assumed the couple’s on screen wedding meant paperwork was filed and vows were official. According to Mendeecees, that was not the case.
While he did not go into detail about why they never made it legal, the revelation has fans questioning how much of their relationship storyline was real versus reality TV production.
The admission immediately reignited debates online about reality TV weddings and what viewers are actually watching.
Cheating Allegations Add Fuel to the Fire
As if the breakup and marriage revelation were not enough, Mendeecees also addressed long standing rumors that he cheated on Yandy.
He confirmed accusations that he was involved with Tamar Braxton, adding another layer of mess to an already complicated situation.
Those rumors have circulated for years but were never fully addressed until now, making the timing especially painful for fans who believed Yandy stood by Mendeecees through his hardest moments.
Fans React With Shock and Anger
Social media lit up almost instantly after the interview aired.
Many fans expressed outrage, saying Yandy was publicly embarrassed after holding Mendeecees down through legal troubles and incarceration. Others questioned why the truth about the marriage took so long to come out.
Some viewers even called the situation one of the biggest reality TV deceptions in VH1 history.
Where Things Stand Now
At this point, Yandy Smith has not publicly responded to Mendeecees’ comments. The couple shares children and a long, deeply intertwined history that played out on television for years.
What is clear is that the relationship chapter has officially closed.
A wedding millions watched
A marriage that never legally existed
And a breakup that fans are just now learning about
For Love and Hip Hop viewers, this revelation changes everything they thought they knew about one of the franchise’s most iconic couples.
