Welcome aboard VH1′s newest reality TV show, “Hollywood Exes,” where former spouses of megastars who have divorced and moved on talk about their lives after being shadows to their ex-husbands in the limelight. Almost like a first wives club, the cast includes Nicole Murphy, Sheree Fletcher, Jessica Canseco, Andrea Kelly and Mayte Garcia who have all moved on from their previous relationships to bigger and better things.

Hollywood Exes dives into the most emotional moments of five  beautiful and somewhat fragile women who were once married to some of the entertainment and sports industry’s most notable men.

Most people had no idea R. Kelly and Andrea were even married and it was this act of isolation that up until recently trapped his Andrea in the dungeon of broken dreams of a world-renowned owner of a top notch dance studio empire. Nicole Murphy is so damn beautiful! A mesmerizing beauty trying to recapture her dream as a supermodel and embarking on a lavish new branding campaign to jump start her bold new jewelry business. Sheree Fletcher is a confident diva who is driven by her spiritual values and bold in-your-face fixation for success in Hollywood’s fragrance industry. Mayte Garcia is a very sensitive woman with deep sadness for the loss of her only child to a real disease. Jessica Canseco is an uninhibited girlfriend who doesn’t bite her tongue to any topic be it sex, diet, marriage or family. Nothing is off limits to this valley-girl eye candy! The interests, personalities and backgrounds of this gang of divas alone make for must see TV. Lights! Camera! Action!
