Love & Marriage: Huntsville star Marques feels uncomfortable with Ken tucking his children into bed
In episode 3, Marques mentioned he was uncomfortable with Tricia's relationship with Ken since she had yet to divorce him. Tricia explained that her emotional relationship with Marques was already over when Ken entered her life. Ken chimed in on their conversation and clarified that he was not "messing around" with Tricia when she was with Marques.
At that point, Marques mentioned he was concerned about Ken's presence around his children. Tricia retaliated, saying Ken stepped up only after Marques stopped visiting his kids, causing a rift between him and them.
"Your dad was there, you were not," Tricia added.
The Love & Marriage: Huntsville star Marques asked Ken if he hugged his daughter and tucked her into bed at night, to which Ken replied, "We definitely show affection." Marques admitted that he felt uneasy about Ken being involved in his children's lives, especially when Ken tucked them into bed since it was Marques' responsibility as their birth father.
Tricia felt that Marques used Ken's presence as an excuse to justify his absence from their lives. Meanwhile, Marques looked forward to getting to know Ken so that he felt "no animosity" when he visited his children in his presence. Even then, the Love & Marriage: Huntsville star stated that he did not appreciate Ken buying his son and nephew a car.
Ken explained his relationship with Tricia's kids developed naturally and advised Marques to be more proactive if he wanted to bond with him.
"I'm trying to assist you and making sure these kids get the affection, the love, the treatment, mentally, physically, financially, all across the board," he added.
The Love & Marriage: Huntsville star wanted Marques to be involved with his kids, stating he never wanted to jeopardize their bond. He clarified he had no "ill intentions" and mentioned that he showed love through action, not words.
Their conversation ended when Marques asked Tricia to sign the divorce papers. He aimed to rebuild his relationship with his children after officially ending his marriage to Tricia.
