On why she left Elba
“Well, yeah. He had the baby and it was just kinda like I’m not gonna be in the middle of this. So, I walked away from it. Let me tell you this, [there’s] another woman involved. What kinda woman am I to say, ‘Leave your family. Come be with me.’ ”
On how she met Elba
“I met him out and he said with that accent, ‘Hi K.Michelle, like I think that you’re beautiful.’ When I met him — at the Soul Train Awards … I thought he was fine, but I never liked him. I told him, he laughs, I said, ‘Your jeans too tight and the accent is funny.’ And it’s not for me.”
On how long they dated
“Like eight months … I never thought that I wanted a man’s man but after him … I like the suits. I never could see myself going outside of that and God let everything happen for a reason.”
