Love & Marriage: Huntsville season 9 released its third episode on November 16, 2024. The episode was titled Signed, Sealed, Divorced: I'm Yours and it saw LaTricia aka Tricia, signing the divorce papers Marques brought for her.
The scene went down at the dinner where Marques met with Tricia and her current partner, Ken. Opening up, Marques said that his children living with Ken bothered him because he wanted to be the father figure for them. He then asked Ken how he treated the children, while Ken and Tricia assured him they were well taken care of.
Then, Marques pulled out the divorce papers he had brought and asked Tricia to sign them. As soon as she started signing them, he teared up. He said it was harder for him because he lost his whole family, while Tricia still had it. She argued that she never denied him to see his children as much as he wanted.
