After some ups and downs, The Real Housewives of Potomac‘s Keiarna Stewart revealed that her relationship with boyfriend Greg Diggs is solid these days.
In fact, following their brief separation, Keiarna officially moved back in with Greg during Season 10, Episode 12, despite some pushback from both her family and RHOP castmates. The crux of her loved ones’ issues was that they did not believe Greg would ever fully commit to Kei if she resumed living with him before he slid an engagement ring on her finger.
On The Real Housewives of Potomac After Show, Keiarna faced the skepticism about her rekindled romance head-on.
“I think that so many people around me are like, ‘The ring, the ring,'” she said. “The ring matters to you. What matters to me is just to make sure that we’re on the same page. … If this is the plan, this was already on the menu. Like, now we’re back together, and the ring is next. Let that be next.”

On the subject of a proposal timeline, Keiarna added, “I’m also not gonna pressure Greg into something that he, as a man, knows that he needs to do on his time.”
After all, the RHOP ‘Wife insisted that she’s more than OK with the pace at which their relationship is progressing, this time around.
“Whatever I want in this life is available, let me set the record straight,” Keiarna declared. “But I didn’t wait 38 years of my life to say, ‘Hey, let’s just figure out babies, marriage, tomorrow…’ Like, you know, I know what I’m doing here. … Me and Greg are great.”
Keiarna Stewart and Greg Diggs discussed their future relationship plans
Keiarna had already acknowledged criticism about her moving into Greg’s home for the second time during RHOP‘s Dec. 21 episode.
“At the end of the day, Greg and I are two adults who know what’s best for our lives,” she told a producer. “And I think the people around us just have to respect that.”
Keiarna continued, “I decided to move back because Greg and I have made a newfound commitment to each other. And, for me, it’s like the ring symbolizes the next step, but I feel like you have to have love and understanding and be rooted in that. And then, the ring is the cherry on top.”

Keiarna and Greg, meanwhile, had way more than her moving boxes to unpack, including the next steps in their relationship.
After he joked that his plan was “just to smile every day and be quiet,” Kei eventually broached the subject of how they were going to deal with the ownership of her condo and his house, once they eventually got married.
While Greg agreed that the condo was a gift and could remain solely in her name, he also didn’t see why it would be “necessary” to add her name to the deed on his property. After all, they agreed that within five to six years, they would purchase a new home together, anyway.
Inside Keiarna Stewart and Greg Diggs’ reconciliation
Keiarna previously revealed on RHOP that she broke up with Greg and moved out of his home after the Season 9 reunion. At the time, she said their issues included Greg being “dismissive” toward her, especially because he did “not like being filmed” for the show. Plus, Kei was frustrated that he was taking so long to propose marriage.
After about three months apart, Keiarna said that Greg realized she was “serious” and made an effort to win her back. So, he asked her to “go to Jamaica and talk” things out.
“It was a much-needed getaway for us to chat and, you know, just reset the tone, to be together, and really say, ‘Hey, I love you, and where can we meet in the middle?'” Kei described during the Season 10 premiere.
As she put it to her mom, Michelle, in the same episode, “Now we’re just dating, and the expectation is just to be happy. And I think that was a big step back from being so, like, ‘I wanna get married.'”
