OPENING UP HER STRUGGLE

She never let anyone see her cry or break a sweat. However, her positive mindset changed during her college years. She wrote:

"Well, my college years smacked me in the face hard."

MENTAL HEALTH REMISSION

"After a few years now in mental health remission (thank You, Jesus!!), I've struggled to find my confidence."

In 2018, Pat shared that he was hurt and devastated about Gina breaking up with him. He said that Gina decided to break up because she wasn't happy.

The former couple used to co-host two Food Network shows- "Down Home with the Neelys" in 2009 and "Road Tasted with the Neelys" in 2014. They were reportedly separated for two years while filming their show.

Gina previously revealed in a past interview that the bubbly and affectionate relationship she and her ex-husband displayed on TV was not healthy and happy.
