Comment: Give me a minute, I can't stop laughing......whooooooooo That just shows you how naive/young/stupid she was (not a crime) I hope she thanks him down the road b/c had she "jumped-the-broom" and later divorced, it would have cost her a lot of money. Football players don't make a lot a cash like baseballers

Comment: Roy Williams will make $6 million dollars this year, so even if he isnt making as much as say, A-Rod, who makes $25 million a year, he makes more than everybody who will leave a comment on this topic times ten!!!!!
as for not getting married to Kelly Rowland, that was probably the smart thing to do, especially if they didnt really know each other, but Im curious as to why they broke up instead of just putting the wedding off for two or three years like some of our people do.....a bunch of rumors were running rampant that one of them gave the other an STD

Comment: nightshift.
You need to also remember that a LOT of that D.C money goes to the Knowles family!!
I would say that between Kelly & Michelle, they were getting maybe 10% each!! And I'm being good. That may still be a lot, but doubtful if close to the $6mill that has to Williams only has to split w/ his mgr, and lawyers....

Comment: I'm glad he was mature enough to make the effort he made. They broke up because Kelly would have had to admit that she was willing to marry a man she didn't know and she was too immature to even come to that conclusion, and like she said - she was embarrassed! Had she slowed down and gotten to know him she may have found out anyway that they weren't suited for each other but she obviously hasn't reached the level of maturity that would allow her to have done that.

Roy did the manly thing. Much respect to him. Money is not an issue, but $6 per year is not too shabby.
Kelly was naive and lonely. She has yet to be fulfilled!

Comment: I don't think Kelly even knows herself, so I know Roy couldn't know her LMAO. If you read her interview in Vixen, that chile sounds so confused. There's a part where she says, Beyonce asked her what she likes to do, or something to that effect and she had to admit that she didn't know. Thats what happens when somebody else is put in front of you, like another poster said, Kelly's album has been pushed back so as not to compete with Beyonces...if I were her, I'd be like hell to the naw, we had more than enough Beyonce this year and hardly any Kelly. I want to see how this girl can blossom outside of the Knowles clan. As you can see, Letoya Luckett is quite talented. I also believe in the interview Kelly said she was in love with someone else...which is strange since Roy is the one that broke off the engagement.

Comment: Kelly shouldn't feel embarassed at all. It would have been a disaster in the making. Roy did the right thing; basically ending what was not meant to be. As far as the NFL salaries, that is still alot of money for an average Joe. I wouldn't mind making $6 million a year and if not $1 a yr. Sounds good to me. There are also all types of ways to "invest" that $6 million too. Alot of NBA players were paid top money and filed bankruptcy. It is all about investing and having a financial responsibility.

Comment: I'm glad he did the right thing, but dayum. Couldn't he have figured that shat out before ol' girl was on the front of a magazine in a wedding dress?!? LOL Y'all know if that were you, you'd be %*$!ed to. No doubt he did the right thing and some day she will thank him...but his timing was really f*cked up....unfortunately, sometimes you got to do the right no matter what...even if it means calling of the wedding at the altar...but just prepare yourself for an old fashion azz-kicking from the family.

Comment: She shouldn't be embarrassed but feel blessed that she was spared from possibly making the worst decision of her life. This shows her lack of maturity and desire to be married just to say she has been married. I commend Roy Williams for doing the right thing and saving himself and possible children a lot of future heartache.

Comment: >jazzfan - you are so correct. it's the whole illusion of a big wedding for everyone to see, yet, no real preparation for life together with the person you want to marry. I hope Kelly just takes it easy - she needs to mature more and gain some wisdom to prosper where she is in her life right now, then have more to offer in marriage later. Best to ya, Kelly.

Comment: You have to give this guy credit. Too many people get married for all the wrong reasons without really seriously thinking about the Pros and the Cons of their relationship and although no one or no marriage is perfect but why waste all of that time, effort and money for something your not too sure about? It really goes to show her immaturity because instead of being embarassed, she should have thanked him for being honest, up front and open about making a lifelong decision that he was unsure about. At least he didn't play games and lead her on her. It seems like it was all about her. Maybe he was too mature for her any way. I think she was just trying to out do Beyonce and it back fired so she looked stupid. Now that explains that song, Girl.

Comment: I have to agree this show her level of maturity. It wasn't as if he left her at the alter. For me, if they were sincerely in love they could have extended their engagement until they knew each other better. And I believe he was probably asked, tired of being looked upon as the "bad guy" and said how he felt. He wasn't disrespectful to Kelly at all.

Comment: The way I read the article, it sounds as if he wanted to slow it down and she broke it off instead. I think they were going through pre-marital counseling when he took the survey. The sad thing is they might have made a nice couple if she'd given it a chance. Kelly is really beautiful but she comes off like she's got a lot of air swirling around in her head.

He was playing his sport. When did they have time to date, and better yet, when did they have time to get serious and get engaged. The whole thing was a fake as Brandy and her huzbend.

Comment: You know, now that I've thought about this, maybe they took the survey and they realized that they didn't LIKE each other that much. Because, let's be honest, a fiance ain't nothin but a glorified boyfriend or girlfriend. None of that means anything until you sign those marriage papers. So, if they wanted to, they could have remained engaged as long as they needed in order to feel that marriage was the right move. Another thing about celebrity couples...it seems that once reality sets in they realize they don't like each other. Anybody ever watch the bachelor? They have all these fantasy dates, which is not like real life at all so every moment seems 'special' so of course they fall in love. Then, when they go home and people's feet smell, and they don't pick up behind themselves, the glamour wears off and they break up. I think a lot of celebrity couples relationshps are based off of fantasy dating, flying here and there, sitting courtside at basketball games, walking the red carpet. It's all very pseudo.

Comment: Whatever happened to the idea of a long engagement? I always found it strange that in Hollywood, people feel like they have to date for a few months, then get engaged, then marry a few months after that. Now that is rubbing off on the rest of us "normies." Marriages would be more successful if people realized it isn't something to jump into. But some women are picturing the gown and naming the kids on the first date. It reminds me of the expression "Fools rush in." I blame all this on J.Lo and "The Bachelor."

Comment: I always thought once you get engaged, you have past all of the "get to know each other" formalities, and have now found a need to move to the next level to get married. Isn't an engagement period supposed to be 6 months to a year? What is the purpose of a long engagement?

Comment: Kelly was definitely trying to out to Ms. B on something. Instead of taking her time. I can understand her "embarrassment" but she would have been devastated had he left her after the marriage or worse...at the alter. Count your blessings girl. You are beautiful and another man is just around the corner. Next time, take your time and stop posing in wedding gowns for Goodness sakes! You may have jinxed yourself with that dumb azz move right there...LOL!

Comment: Kelly needs to let go and move on with her life. At least Roy was honest with himself and her and told the truth and she should appreciate his honesty. They both was probably caught up in the wining & dining and then brother man realized there is more that just wining & dining to make a relationship work. My mother & father still have to work in their relationship and they have been married for 43 years. I believe Kelly wanted to get married for the wrong reasons. Hopefully, she can move past the hurt and be happy with herself first.

Comment: Gurlfrand, the way I learned it, the engagement is the more in-depth process before marriage when you try to decide whether you really could spend the rest of your life together. You make that decision after dating (when he pops the question), then the engagement period is when you figure out whether that is the right decision. When I get engaged to my boyfriend, I plan to travel with him, go to church counseling, and learn his stances on every nitty-gritty detail we haven't discussed yet (how soon do we want to start having kids, how many, does he mind if I raise them Anglican, etc.) A long engagement isn't all that necessary if you've been dating for years, but when it hasn't been that long, I think the engagement should take some time.

Comment: I read that article in Vibe Vixen and I thought they said that Kelly figured out that she was still in love with her ex-who did her wrong and I think is now dating that sistah from the Scary movie franchise. According to the new girlfriend, Kelly's ex cheated on Kelly and broke her heart. He regretted it, but she is still hurt by it. That's why Roy couldn't get to know her, she was still guarded. He wanted to delay the nuptuals, but she broke it off cause she knew deep-in-her-heart that she was still sprung on another.

Comment: beegirl - I see. But you don't use the "engagement" period as a time to get to know somebody. Once the couple decides to get engaged, they already know each other pretty well, that is, if they have communicated with each other about everything. Once you get engaged - it's settled. All of the "get to know" formalities are over. You just need to make the appointment with the minister on the dates, etc, cause you already been going thru pre-engagement counseling, etc. I realize that people from their own generation may look at the engagement period entirely differently. Some people use a long engagement period as a time to stall for whatever reasons they may have.

Comment: Lovely what you left on the Solange post was your common sense and knowledge of that girl. SHE IS NO LONGER MARRIED IT WAS ANNULLED BEFORE THE INK DRIED! You need to check your unknown self and respond to articles and not posters. The fact is my statement included a lot of these young females not just the knowles girl. You better get your face out of her butt cause she doesn't know who you are!

Comment: Lovinlife that's the way I understood it. He was willing to remain engaged but not to get married just yet. Nothing wrong with that but for the fact that her level of maturity couldn't handle it. I believe she rushed and did a lot of things like announcing it and doing the magazine cover before she had a good talk with her intended. In that case she should be embarrassed.

Comment: Why is everyone jumping on Kelly's case? Why does it have to be HER that just wanted to be married, or rushed into it? NEWSFLASH: HE is the one who asked HER to marry HIM. They BOTH thought they were in love. Yes it is good that he came to his senses and put the brakes on, but don't try to blame the whole thing on Kelly like getting married was her idea alone. I understand her being hurt and embarrased. There's nothing wrong with feeling that way, in fact it's a natural response when the love of your life says they don't want to marry you. I would be too. But when the smoke clears she'll know it was for the best. Just the give the girl credit for being honest about her feelings and handling the situtation gracefully.

Comment: >>>Gurlfrand>>>the "getting to know each other" period never ends. In some instances, people are married for years and don't know the "real" man or woman they married. Committing yourself to ONE person for LIFE is a beautiful but scary thing. Just because you know his last name and his momma's maiden name does not mean you know the cat. That's why so many people are finding out all these "in the closet" behaviors about their mates. What one presents on the outside does not mean they are giving themselves to you 100%. I guess that's where you'll have to trust your faith and follow your head and not your heart at all times. When people follow their heart instead of thinking clearly, they wind up "stuck" with some azzhole that may take years to get rid of. That's why many use the saying: "It's cheaper to keep her"! I don't ever want to be looked upon as a settlement. If I am not the grand prize, I don't need to be there!

And yes, your faith is very important. It's more than just a big pretty wedding and the lust of your flesh getting what you want. It's a whole entire life with someone else.

When I speak to people and they say they've been married for 20, 30, 40, 50+ years...my first question is always "damn, to the same person" LOL. I don't know why that amazes me but it does. Its a beautiful thing but I've yet to run into a man that makes me want to tolerate all his Bullshyt for decades! uh uh *shaking head* nope! Can't say that I have! LOL

So just keep your head up Kells there are plenty men out there who would love to take Roy's place.
