00:01Previously on The Single Life,
00:03we have so much in common.
00:05We do, yeah.
00:05We converse very well.
00:07Yeah, we do.
00:07And it's been like that from the beginning, too.
00:10Wayne is so cute.
00:11This legit might be my person.
00:13We got to do this more often.
00:15I know, definitely.
00:16But do I really want to invest my time and money
00:19to go over to another country to have my heart broken again?
00:25We are in Hollywood.
00:27Oh my god, look who's here.
00:29I can't wait to spend time with Natalie again.
00:32And I'm going to meet her daughter, Bella.
00:34I'm surprised I'm meeting you today.
00:36I didn't expect that.
00:37Well, I'm surprised you're even here, to be honest.
00:40Yeah.
00:40I know how close Natalie and Bella are.
00:43And if there's going to be any chance for our relationship
00:46to work, I'm going to have to win Bella over.
00:51So first of all, Cole wants to apologize.
00:54Maybe if you two were together alone for a few days,
00:58you could work this out.
01:00I'm not going to be one of his options and his love triangle.
01:03It's like, you had me, and you lost me.
01:07I feel a little bad for trashing Colt to his mom,
01:09but I need to be honest with her.
01:11There's no world where I'd get back with Colt.
01:14I'm done, like.
01:20Do you mind if I grab a dance with my girl?
01:21Are you serious?
01:22You said that you don't want to dance.
01:24If this is how he's acting in the middle of a freaking dance
01:27class, we might have even bigger problems
01:30than I originally thought.
01:31I'm just, like, really done with this .
01:48Good morning, beautiful.
01:49Good morning.
01:50How are you feeling this morning?
01:52I'm feeling good.
01:54I'm feeling good, too.
01:55That was one wild, crazy night.
02:07That was pure madness.
02:09How'd you like your lap dance?
02:11Ah, the lap dance was amazing.
02:13Good.
02:13I'm glad.
02:15Last night, Natalie took me to a strip club in LA,
02:18and we had an amazing, terrific time.
02:22Both of us were, like, hot and sweaty by the time it was done,
02:25and we were horny and excited to, like, have some real fun.
02:29I unleashed the beast last night.
02:32You were a wild and crazy man.
02:34The sex was so much better than the first time.
02:38Seeing this freaky side of Natalie took all my anxiety away.
02:43I had no problem throwing my hat off and getting down.
02:47So, yeah.
02:50So, what are we going to do today?
02:52I plan for the day is to meet my family.
02:55Do you know where we're going or anything?
02:57It's a surprise.
02:58But we need to get going because the reservation's coming up soon.
03:01OK.
03:01Let's hit the road.
03:03Today, Gino and I are meeting up with my daughter, Bella,
03:06and my brother, Nick.
03:08Do we have a car picking us up?
03:10We're walking.
03:11Are we walking?
03:12We're walking.
03:13Oh, my goodness gracious.
03:15Bella is skeptical about Gino because what's happened in the past,
03:18but I'm hoping everybody can have fun, just let their guard down,
03:23because my feelings for Gino are only getting stronger,
03:27and I really need for everybody in my family,
03:30especially Bella, to be on board.
03:32Nick!
03:34Nick!
03:35Oh, hi.
03:36Hey.
03:36How you doing?
03:37How are you?
03:39I'm doing good.
03:40Oh, nice to meet you.
03:41How's it going?
03:41This is Gino.
03:42How you doing? Nice meeting you, finally.
03:44Nice meeting you, too.
03:45This is my twin brother.
03:47Twin brother.
03:47Yeah.
03:48She's a pretty twin.
03:49Yeah.
03:51No, I think you're the pretty twin.
03:53I can see the resemblance.
03:56The first time Nally dating Gino, everything went to crap.
04:00Everything was a nightmare.
04:01She was calling me, crying all the time, and, I mean, he broke her heart.
04:06So when Nally told me she was dating Gino again, I thought she was crazy.
04:10This is going to be a whole huge drama mess,
04:13like every other relationship she's been through.
04:16We're going to see some entertainment.
04:18Have you ever seen a drag show before?
04:20Drag show?
04:21I haven't, I've heard of them, but I've never seen one.
04:24You're in for a treat.
04:25Oh, yeah.
04:25Is Bella there already?
04:27Have you talked to her?
04:27I haven't seen Isabella since yesterday.
04:30You haven't talked to her?
04:31Not since yesterday.
04:34I'm just going to text her real quick.
04:38Yesterday when Bella dropped her mom off at the hotel,
04:42she was really cold to me and had an attitude.
04:46I can't help but wonder if the reason is because of me.
04:50Okay.
04:52I texted.
04:53All right.
04:54So we're good to go?
04:55Yeah, let's go.
04:56We're going to miss the show.
04:57Okay.
04:58Stop worrying.
04:59I'm not.
05:00Yeah, don't worry about anything.
05:01It's not good for that pretty face.
05:03Stop.
05:06I'm a girl you see on the street.
05:08Drop a little boy down to my feet.
05:10I like when you're underneath.
05:12What?
05:15How's everybody doing today?
05:17Woo!
05:19Are you all ready to get started?
05:21Yeah!
05:22Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the stage, Penny Drever!
05:30I have never been to a drag queen show before.
05:34Being here in person is freaking amazing.
05:45And they're putting their in my face.
05:54This is what I love about Natalie.
05:57She brings me out of my shell.
05:59Or even out of my comfort zone.
06:01She can do that to me.
06:11Yeah!
06:12You all had a good time with us today?
06:14Yeah!
06:14Oh, yeah!
06:21After the show, it really clears out, doesn't it?
06:24Yeah.
06:24Man, I wish Bella was here.
06:26She's not responding to me.
06:28Really?
06:29That's weird.
06:32She's not a company.
06:33She texted you?
06:35Yeah.
06:39Bella arranged the whole thing to come here.
06:41And at the last minute, something just went off.
06:44She just doesn't like Gino.
06:46She doesn't trust him.
06:47All she wants to make sure is her mom is happy.
06:50And she doesn't think Gino is that person.
06:54I'm sad myself because I wanted to get to know her a little bit.
06:57It seems like she doesn't want to meet you.
06:59You think so?
07:01She's told me she does not like him.
07:03And that's the reason why she did not come.
07:04I mean, you're still married.
07:07Your ex attacks Natalie.
07:08That's ridiculous.
07:10But we came to where she lives so that she could see we've gone past it.
07:15But she hasn't gone past it.
07:17That's the problem.
07:18We don't have to deal with Jasmine anymore.
07:20So take Jasmine out of the equation, and everything has been progressing really good.
07:26Like, we are having fun together.
07:27So have you filed for divorce?
07:37Bella has a lot of anger towards me.
07:40And Nick, he's kind of questioning if I'm the right person for her as well.
07:45So everything I did to rebuild my relationship with Natalie is falling apart.
07:52I mean, I don't blame Isabella.
07:54You're still married to another woman.
07:57And she doesn't want to see her mother hurt.
07:59I get it.
08:00She wants to look out for me, and I love her, and I appreciate that.
08:04But I still would like her to give him a chance.
08:08You're just going to have to show her it's not like the other relationships that you had in the past.
08:15She comes first.
08:17She comes first.
08:19Bella has never seen me happy with a man in my entire life.
08:23They are toxic.
08:25They're liars.
08:26They're not honest.
08:27I had an ex that was a serial cheater, and I knew it.
08:32So when it comes to Geno, Bella has her guard up.
08:36I think she is very protective and very leery of his intentions.
08:42You're going to have to win her over.
08:44She's the hard one to win over.
08:46Yeah.
08:47And don't piss her off.
08:48And don't piss her off.
08:52Trying to find out what it is that makes it always feel like this.
08:57I'm so tired.
08:59Six, seven, walk her through.
09:01We go one, two, we go forward, tap.
09:05What the ?
09:06I just don't freaking get it.
09:22I asked you if you want to dance and you said no, so then I told you I'm going to
09:27dance with somebody else and I did and then you interrupted me in the middle of the dance.
09:30So like I wanted you to have fun and I wanted you to come into my world.
09:34I was having fun.
09:34I was.
09:35I enjoyed the dancing.
09:36I was having fun.
09:37So what's the problem then?
09:38I mean, we just talked about coming to his class, learning how to dance and social was out of nowhere.
09:45And all of a sudden we talk about that and then you storm off, find some Vin Diesel guy or
09:51actually a guy who looks just like your ex and you're just having a good time.
09:54Are you kidding me?
09:55So here's the thing.
09:56You're going to Ibiza in a couple of weeks.
09:58There's going to be many socials in Ibiza too.
10:00And there's going to be many socials in Croatia as well.
10:03So you think I'm going to go cheat on you with a guy in Ibiza?
10:06What I'm trying to say is like if you're going to dance with random guys, what's going to happen?
10:10And they want to have a good time.
10:12They want to have a good time, so because they want to have a good time, I need to be
10:16punished.
10:17And I'm going to be.
10:18Punished?
10:19Yeah, so you're trying to accuse me of something that I haven't even done yet.
10:22So you have freedom of reigns to do whatever you want and dance with whatever you want.
10:24I just don't understand, Tony.
10:26Because it's like a vacation.
10:27Listen, I danced with a guy after a dance class after you said that you don't want to dance.
10:31And now you're accusing me of dancing with random guys in Ibiza and like potentially cheating on you.
10:36You just said you would.
10:36You just said you would.
10:36Well, like you're literally putting words in my mouth.
10:40I never said that.
10:41I was a little bit of a child.
10:44He knew I was a dancer when we started dating.
10:48He knew I was a dancer when we were friends.
10:51I feel like at this point in our relationship, he should trust me.
10:54He should know who I am.
10:56He should know what I stand for.
10:57He should know that I would not do anything to disrespect him or put our relationship in jeopardy.
11:03Tony is projecting his own insecurity on me.
11:07And I'm really hurt by that.
11:09I don't think I deserve it.
11:11You don't see a problem here at all.
11:13You're not even looking at it from my perspective at all.
11:15What is the freaking problem?
11:16I think the problem is actually us.
11:19Because you look at it as, hey, this is my everyday life.
11:22This is what I've been doing for years.
11:23This is my passion.
11:23I see it as, this is not appropriate for a new relationship.
11:27That's the problem.
11:28So you're stopping me from being who I am because I'm in a relationship with you.
11:32No, I think there's compromise.
11:33There's compromise.
11:34We're not having it.
11:35We're not having compromise.
11:36This is unbelievable, Tony.
11:37No, it's not.
11:39It's compromise.
11:40You ruined everything.
11:41So I hope you're happy.
11:43I need to go find my freaking phone.
11:45I'm taking an Uber home and this is it.
11:46I'm done with this .
11:51She's been single for a very long time.
11:54She still does things her own way.
11:56I'm concerned that sometimes Vanya may not look at the big picture of when you're in a relationship, it's about
12:01compromise.
12:01And to me, dance is very sensual.
12:04Dance has a lot of feelings attached.
12:06And, you know, it's very easy to fall in love with your dance partner.
12:10You just gonna storm off again?
12:11No, I just, I'm done, Tony.
12:13I'm calling an Uber and I'm going home.
12:15I brought up concerns about her traveling and dancing with other guys in other clubs.
12:19And she completely said, hey, that's my prerogative is to have fun.
12:23Hey, by the way, Tony, just trust me.
12:25When I can't even trust her when I'm watching her and with her.
12:29So that's it.
12:29That's it.
12:30She's gonna storm out again.
12:31Yeah.
12:32Really?
12:33Yeah.
12:33There's no compromise.
12:34There's no resolution to anything now, is there?
12:36What compromise is there?
12:38Really?
12:38You're accusing me of being somebody who has nefarious intentions in mind.
12:43And I don't.
12:43You said you can do whatever you want.
12:44You said I can have fun, I can dance, whatever, and that's...
12:46What's...
12:48What do you want me to do?
12:49Then just stay in my hotel room the whole time I'm there?
12:51Maybe you should enjoy.
12:52Join Ibiza.
12:54You know.
12:55We'll see how it works out when you get back then.
12:59Is...
12:59What?
13:00Now you're threatening me.
13:01What?
13:05You obviously don't trust me and I'm going home.
13:20Seriously.
13:24This guy is acting like a complete control freak.
13:28Trying to tell me how to live my life.
13:29It is unacceptable.
13:31I'm a grown woman.
13:32I can make my own decisions.
13:33I'm not going to be told what I can and cannot do.
13:36Will you go watch me?
13:40I'm capable of having a dance with someone and not have sex with them.
13:44I mean, what else do you think is going to happen here?
13:47This is really making me worried about our relationship going forward because if this is how Tony is acting when
13:54we're together, I cannot even imagine what he's going to be like once we're apart for two weeks.
14:00It's really scaring me.
14:01Let's see.
14:02I'm a grown woman.
14:04I can look for it.
14:06I can look for it.
14:06We're talking more than physical.
14:08We're talking more than physical, no.
14:17I'm not dead and raise no fool.
14:19She let me walk in my own shoes.
14:21So double down and let me lose.
14:23There ain't no mountain I can't move.
14:37Now what do we need these for?
14:38What do you want?
14:40Avocado?
14:40We're on a diet.
14:41OK.
14:42Put them back.
14:44Huh?
14:44Hey, we're on a diet.
14:46Yeah.
14:58I'm going to get a cabbage.
15:00I'm going to make some cabbage rolls.
15:03So I talked to Colt.
15:04Oh my gosh.
15:06Where is he at now?
15:07He's in Brazil.
15:09He went to Brazil?
15:10Yeah, to see the other woman, yeah.
15:13For the last month, I haven't been in touch with Colt because I needed a break from that dumpster
15:19fire of a relationship.
15:21But he called me out of the blue this morning from Brazil.
15:25Did he go back to Canada when Gabby and Tony were there?
15:28No, I guess he went straight from Florida to Brazil.
15:31Oh my gosh.
15:33Yeah.
15:33Seriously?
15:33Yeah.
15:35Yeah.
15:35I thought Colt went to Canada to live with his mom.
15:38I found out the whole time he's been in Brazil with Diana, the woman he's been sending videos
15:43to.
15:45Okay.
15:47They're saying the ligaments in his knee need to be replaced so he has to have another surgery.
15:52But he said he's found a doctor here that will accept the insurance and stuff.
15:56Here?
15:57Yeah, in Orlando.
15:58So I guess he's coming back.
15:59He's not staying with us.
16:00He's not staying at our place.
16:02No.
16:02No.
16:03Okay.
16:05Oh my gosh.
16:06One thing we've learned from this experience is there's no strangers going to stay at our
16:12house again, ever.
16:13It's not going to happen.
16:15It's not going to happen.
16:16Is he still in the wheelchair or is he?
16:18Yeah.
16:18Well, I guess the doorways are small there so he's been using crutches because the wheelchair
16:22and walker are too big.
16:23How's he going to get around?
16:25Yeah.
16:26He can't drive.
16:27No, I said I'd go pick him up and like help him get situated in the hotel.
16:32Picking up Colt from the airport is going to be torture.
16:35You know, we had a really strong connection.
16:38There's still some type of bond, which has made me really dumb, but I feel responsible
16:44for him.
16:45Does he want to try to get back with you?
16:47I don't know what he wants.
16:49Don't let it happen.
16:53He's not going to be faithful.
16:55Yeah.
16:56Yeah.
16:56No, I think he's going to lie and keep lying and lying and lying.
16:59Right.
16:59I don't trust him.
17:01So it's like, how can I be with somebody I don't trust?
17:04When you keep lying about stuff, you're not sincere.
17:10Yeah.
17:10No.
17:10I don't see any sincerity at all to this.
17:13No respect.
17:14I mean.
17:15Leave our daughter alone.
17:17I mean, bottom line.
17:20Well, if it was me, I would be over with it.
17:24But it's you.
17:27I think you're strong enough.
17:28But when he casts that fishing line and reels you back in and you know he's going to try.
17:36Don't revolve your life around him.
17:38No.
17:39No.
17:39Because he could care less about you.
17:41I know.
17:41He's just using you once again.
17:43I feel he can't use me because I'm offering help.
17:46I'm offering to do this for him.
17:48I want to do this for him.
17:49So it's like, he's not using me.
17:51It's like, he's not playing me.
17:52He's playing himself.
17:53But then how far are you going to take this?
17:55Yeah.
17:56I just want to, you know, get him from the airport to the hotel.
17:59Yeah.
17:59Right.
18:00Okay.
18:00Set boundaries.
18:01Like all the crying and stuff I've been doing.
18:04I think it's just like feeling sorry for him.
18:06Like he might be permanently disabled.
18:08So I cry more about his leg than about him dating other women.
18:13I know my parents are worried about Colt breaking my heart again.
18:17They see that he still affects me.
18:20And like the truth is, I don't know what I'm going to feel when I see him.
18:25We had such a deep, intense connection.
18:28And you can't just turn that off.
18:31I feel like Colt has some type of crazy power over me.
18:35And I don't really trust myself with him.
18:37Life is way too short to be putting up with that.
18:40Fill your life with happy things.
18:43I will.
18:44You want the donuts?
18:45No.
18:48No, I think I need the wine.
18:50The wine.
18:52Oh.
19:00Yay, stockings.
19:01Here, you can hang your own stocking up, son.
19:05All right.
19:05Boom.
19:08Okay.
19:09There we go.
19:09Beautiful.
19:10Look at that.
19:10Look at that.
19:12I have stuff in here.
19:13You already have stuff in your stocking.
19:14Is it candy?
19:15Oh, yeah.
19:16I got to get one.
19:17Okay.
19:19Good.
19:20It's been in there since last year.
19:24I've been naughty.
19:25I've been nice.
19:26Santa's daddy bring me everything I like.
19:29Milk and cookies.
19:30Wanna fight?
19:31Wanna fight?
19:32Gimme lit.
19:32I want a shingle bell a night.
19:35Here we go.
19:37Grand Illuminate!
19:39Whoa!
19:40It actually looks pretty good.
19:41Do you remember this monkey?
19:43Grandma bought this for you, so I'll let you hang that.
19:46Just hang it, like near her picture.
19:48Put it.
19:48Yeah, it's cute, huh?
19:50Christmas is in a few weeks, and I'm really, really excited
19:53because it's my favorite holiday.
19:55Everything's all sparkly.
19:57Everybody's just nice, and it brings back so many happy memories
20:00of my mom and my sister and previous holidays.
20:03When I do stuff like this, it reminds me of Grandma
20:05because this was, like, our thing, and my grandma.
20:07It was, like, our thing was to, like, decorate, you know?
20:10So it's going to be our thing now?
20:11I think so, and I think we should include Larry in this as well
20:14because he doesn't know any of our stuff.
20:15He doesn't know anything.
20:16You want to call him?
20:17Yeah.
20:19Christmas is all about family,
20:21and this Christmas is even more special
20:24because my family just got bigger.
20:26My relationship with my son that I placed for adoption
20:29is just getting better and better.
20:32We video chat all the time,
20:33and it's really become a special part of my life.
20:37Hey!
20:38What's up, y'all?
20:39What's up?
20:41How are you?
20:42I'm doing good, man.
20:43It looks like y'all in the Christmas spirit.
20:45Yeah.
20:46I'm really excited to talk to him today
20:48and show him my Christmas decorations,
20:49but I also have some news to share with both him and Jamal.
20:53So we thought we would call you
20:55and get you in the Christmas spirit with us.
20:57Yeah, for sure.
20:58So Jamal's going to carry you around.
21:00Let's go for a tour.
21:01All right, look.
21:02So this is my little tree.
21:04I like bling.
21:05You know I'm all about the glitter.
21:06I love the sequins and stuff.
21:08So this is, instead of doing a star, I do a top hat.
21:10Isn't it cute?
21:12Isn't it cute?
21:12Yeah, I know.
21:13I know about that.
21:15It's so cute.
21:16And then I do stockings.
21:18Am I going to get a stocking?
21:21Yes, you're going to get a stocking.
21:22Of course you are.
21:24There was never a holiday, a birthday,
21:28or any other day in 35 years
21:31that I did not think about Larry or my daughter.
21:34I always wondered, like, what kind of life they had,
21:37how they celebrated their birthdays,
21:40how they celebrated their holidays.
21:42How's my hair?
21:44It's a little flat.
21:47I'm so grateful to Larry
21:49that he gave me the chance to make up for lost time.
21:54I'm really glad that you can enjoy some of this with us.
21:57Yeah, for sure.
21:58So, yeah.
21:59And I'm glad that we have communication.
22:00Especially now, I think the communication is a lot better.
22:03Now that I've been.
22:04I agree.
22:04I'm free.
22:05So speaking of that,
22:07I told you guys about the guy that I've been talking to in England,
22:11and I'm going.
22:13He invited me to come, so I'm going to go and meet him.
22:16I mean, everybody deserves a chance at love,
22:19so I don't see why you wouldn't take it.
22:22Like, just don't get your hopes up.
22:23No.
22:24You know what I'm saying?
22:25A little bit.
22:25Just don't get your hopes too high.
22:26Just a little bit of hope.
22:27No.
22:27Let's just stay neutral.
22:29I mean, just go over there with an open mind.
22:31Yeah.
22:31You know what I'm saying?
22:31I like him, but I'm not doing what I did with Usman.
22:35It's a totally different thing.
22:36I've learned from my mistakes.
22:39Don't look so skeptical.
22:42No, I am.
22:43I can't help but naturally be concerned
22:45when you take these trips for men that you haven't met.
22:48You're going to fly by yourself.
22:49You're going to be there by yourself.
22:51I remember even when you go to Nigeria by yourself,
22:53you would call me and be like, I wish you were here.
22:56Why don't you go with me?
22:57What are you doing?
22:58No.
22:58No.
22:59Why?
22:59Is that not too much?
23:01Why don't you go?
23:01You don't have to meet him, like, the first day,
23:03but maybe you should go with me.
23:05Go, Jamal.
23:06You should go?
23:07Yeah, you should go.
23:08You should definitely go.
23:09I do wish I would have went to Nigeria sooner.
23:12Me too.
23:12Because maybe I could have helped in that one faster.
23:15The men you've met, they're so nice to you in the beginning,
23:18and they trap you because you get stuck and you fall fast.
23:22Yeah.
23:22So luckily when I'm there, maybe I'm able to talk to her
23:25and be like, just remember to not give too much in the beginning
23:28because you do that all the time.
23:30Yeah, for sure.
23:31Yeah.
23:32In the past, once my mom really starts to like a guy,
23:35she starts believing whatever they say.
23:38So I really do hope Wayne is this nice guy
23:41that he's been telling her that he is,
23:43because my mom's heart cannot take much more.
23:46I feel like now everybody's in place.
23:49I'm working on myself.
23:50It's time for me to go and find love.
23:52Well, I think you've had a lot off your shoulders.
23:55Yeah.
23:55Yeah, you have, man.
23:56Like, telling you about your sister and everything.
23:59Telling me about him and telling him
24:00about her.
24:02Yeah.
24:02Speaking of sister, I reached out to the adoption agency
24:06like we all agreed upon to try to find her.
24:08And well, they sent me a letter.
24:10Her adopted mom had wrote me a letter.
24:13So I have the letter.
24:14It's like 10 pages long.
24:16And I was waiting for an opportunity to just kind of bring it out.
24:19I want to see it.
24:20All right.
24:20When the adoption agency told me they had a letter about my daughter
24:25from when she was six years old, I was stunned.
24:29This was dated November 26, 98.
24:34Okay.
24:35It says,
24:35to the birth mother of our beloved daughter, R.
24:40She came home with us in January of 93.
24:43She was then and has continued to this day
24:45to be a healthy and happy child.
24:49I can't read this.
24:51I can't read it.
24:51Yeah, I want something.
24:53This is crazy.
25:13I haven't seen Tony since our dance class a few nights ago.
25:16And obviously, things ended on a really bad note.
25:20I'm really nervous.
25:21It's not an easy thing to, like, have that huge blow up
25:25and then off I go for half a month.
25:45Tony is coming over to take me to the airport.
25:48And it's awful because I'm leaving for a two-and-a-half-week
25:52vacation to Europe.
25:53This is not how I wanted to leave things between us.
26:00Hi.
26:08I made us a little snack, so have a seat.
26:11I'll go grab it.
26:14Having seen Tony and his reaction during the dance class,
26:18it has me worried that this kind of jealousy and control
26:22is only going to get amplified while I'm gone.
26:26And it could be the end of us.
26:32So how are you feeling?
26:34I mean, I know you're leaving soon, so I thought we at least
26:40talk about, you know, what's going on.
26:43And I just don't want this tension anymore.
26:48So what's on your mind?
26:51I do trust you, but the words escalated, the emotions escalated,
26:55and all of a sudden you left.
26:57And I'm like, wow, are we really just throwing it away?
27:03Yeah, I agree that that wasn't the best thing to do.
27:07I shouldn't have done what I did, like stormed out.
27:10But, you know, I was very upset.
27:14But at the end of the day, you mean the world to me,
27:18and I want to make sure that when I'm away that you feel comfortable,
27:22that you're not, you know, thinking, what am I doing?
27:25What's going on?
27:26Am I putting our relationship in jeopardy?
27:28Because I would never do anything like that.
27:35I mean, that means a lot to me.
27:37I'm not trying to say, hey, listen, it's either you dance or it's me.
27:41I just really want to make sure that we're on the same page going forward.
27:44And, you know, this upcoming trip, I just don't want it to be about us not talking,
27:50a lack of communication, or if there's tension, I just don't want it to just linger.
27:54I agree.
27:56We're not going to go sleep angry.
27:58We're not going to let the day end with us not having a resolution.
28:02Okay. I like that.
28:05Okay, I'm just going to put this in the kitchen and then we can skedaddle.
28:11We both took responsibility for what we did wrong.
28:14And I'm feeling a little bit more secure.
28:16Vanya, I'm going to help grab your luggage, okay?
28:19Okay, thank you.
28:20All right.
28:21But at the same time, our relationship is just starting to take the next step.
28:25We even started saying I love you to each other.
28:28And now I'm leaving immediately for two and a half weeks.
28:31I mean, this gives us no time together to hug and kiss and just be good.
28:39Sucks.
28:53Baby, I'm going to miss you so much.
28:55Oh my God.
28:56I can't believe we're here already.
29:00Ah!
29:02Oh, baby.
29:03We're going to try as much as possible.
29:04Just keep in touch.
29:06Right?
29:07All right.
29:08Welcome, baby.
29:10Welcome, baby.
29:12Welcome, baby.
29:15Next trip is going to be a together trip.
29:18Absolutely.
29:19Okay.
29:20Okay.
29:20I miss you already.
29:21I miss you too, baby.
29:22All right.
29:24Bye.
29:25Bye, babe.
29:28I feel like our relationship is so new that there is worry.
29:33The last few weeks, we've had a great foundation.
29:36And I really hope this trip is not going to test it to the point where she's going to realize
29:40that the single life is better for her.
29:41I would be in shambles if I lost Vanya.
29:45It would break me apart.
29:48There are so many variables that could go wrong on this trip.
29:52And I hope we can get through it.
29:54But I would be lying if I said I wasn't concerned.
29:57Because if he has another meltdown while I'm away, I don't think our relationship can survive.
30:02There's blood in the water.
30:22To the birth mother of our beloved daughter, R.
30:29I can't read this.
30:31This is crazy.
30:42This letter was not delivered to me almost 30 years ago because I moved around a lot.
30:46I was in the military, so I just never received it.
30:50It's very emotional for me because it's like me getting to know her.
30:55It means so much to get a glimpse into what her life was like growing up.
31:00I got it.
31:02Her developmental skills progressed normally except in one area where she proved exceptionally gifted.
31:09She's very verbal.
31:11I guess she talks like her mama, right?
31:13R's vocabulary is tremendous.
31:16Her thoughts and desires at a level beyond her six years.
31:20We hope to keep her in private school as long as we can afford it.
31:24R's favorite food is pasta, pasta, pasta.
31:27That's her Italian side.
31:28She is also a great vegetable eater.
31:31We have a large vegetable garden.
31:32She loves to go out and pick vegetables for dinner.
31:36She had a pretty nice life.
31:38Wait a minute.
31:40I think reading this letter and finding out these things about her, like now we know her name starts with
31:45an R.
31:45We know she had a vegetable garden.
31:48We know she went to private school.
31:53Sorry.
31:58And it's like a bittersweet feeling, right?
32:00Like it makes her more real to me.
32:03And it just makes me so happy to know that she was raised so well.
32:09We are indeed thankful for having her in our lives and love her very much.
32:13With best wishes to you and yours.
32:18That's really intense.
32:20I'm really glad that she's had such a good life.
32:23Like that's why I did what I did, you know?
32:25Because I know I couldn't provide that for you or her.
32:29Like I can't say like I regret what I've done.
32:31I can't say that now.
32:32I can say that the way I handled it was up.
32:35But I can't like, I can't like feel bad for what I did.
32:39You know?
32:41Yeah.
32:41And that's what I keep trying to tell you since, you know, day one.
32:44So I'm glad you finally kind of, you know, seeing it for yourself too.
32:49Yeah.
32:51The decision to place my children up for adoption was the most heartbreaking decisions I've ever had to make in
32:57my whole life.
33:01Now, 34 years later, I can honestly say I'm at peace.
33:06I feel like I did what was best for my children.
33:12And really at the end of the day, that's all that matters to me.
33:16All we can do now is just wait.
33:19Yeah.
33:20We'll see what happens.
33:22I do have a feeling we're going to find her.
33:24I hope so.
33:25Like I'm very positive about that.
33:27I hope so.
33:32I'm going to try calling her.
33:35Hello?
33:36Hi, Bella.
33:37I just wanted to know why you didn't show up today.
33:40I can't stand by and watch you embarrass yourself by associating, you know, with such a troll like Gino.
33:46Whoa.
33:47I care about Gino, but this is a lot bigger than my daughter not wanting to meet a guy that
33:53I'm dating.
34:10Oh, you want to sit down?
34:11Yeah.
34:12For a moment?
34:13Enjoy this beautiful fire pit.
34:18Oh, they got blankets.
34:20This is kind of like camping or something.
34:22I don't know.
34:23We just don't have a tent.
34:24Like this?
34:24I'm telling you.
34:25Take one step for today.
34:28Take two steps for tomorrow.
34:31Just step back.
34:33Let the bow for me.
34:36That was rough.
34:38Yeah.
34:38I'm a little bit, I don't know, concerned now because Nick was saying that she doesn't like me.
34:47Well, she doesn't know you.
34:51One of the big reasons that I came to L.A. was to get to know Natalie's daughter, Bella.
34:57But when it was time to hang out, she never showed.
35:03Apparently, Bella's mad at me because Jasmine attacked Natalie last year.
35:08You definitely want to have approval of the family members or, you know, the chances of this relationship working is
35:16not very good.
35:18But I'm going to try calling her.
35:25Hello?
35:26Hi, Bella?
35:28Hi.
35:30It's mom.
35:30How are you?
35:31I'm fine.
35:33Um, I just wanted to know why you didn't show up today.
35:39I just want to say what I have to say, honestly, and then you can do whatever you want.
35:45I love you, but I can't stand by and watch you embarrass yourself by associating, you know, with such a
35:51troll like Gino.
35:54I don't see why you feel the need to extend any grace to him at all after how badly he
35:58disrespected you in Michigan.
36:01You're a grown woman, you can make your own decisions, but at this point, don't expect me to support it
36:05anymore.
36:06What?
36:09And I just think you're just too beautiful and smart and successful to be with such a spineless loser like
36:14him.
36:15And I wish you saw that, too.
36:17I love you, but that's just really all I want you to hear from me.
36:25Whoa.
36:29She does not like me.
36:35Are you okay?
36:37No.
36:41I want to throw up.
36:44That was a lot of nasty words that Bella was saying about me.
36:48How bad of a person I am, what trash I am, loser, whatever.
36:55She didn't even give me a chance.
36:56She didn't even show up and meet me.
36:58I mean, come on.
37:00Don't judge me based on, you know, what you hear for one incident.
37:06It's not fair.
37:09After all of that, you know, how do you feel about me, I guess?
37:17My feelings for you haven't changed.
37:21However, I would like her blessing.
37:27Okay, so, okay.
37:30So basically our relationship is kind of like on hold until you get her blessing.
37:38She's my number one.
37:39She's my number one priority.
37:43So what happens if she doesn't change her mind and she doesn't give her blessing?
37:49What would happen, you think, between us?
37:51I need to talk to her.
37:54And then as soon as I get the answer, I'll talk to you.
37:58Are you gonna stay over my place tonight?
38:03I'm gonna try to go over to see Bella.
38:05Okay.
38:05It's important to me that we don't end the conversation on a negative note.
38:11Okay.
38:13That's fair.
38:15I get it.
38:18I care about Gino, but this is a lot bigger than my daughter not wanting to meet a guy that
38:24I'm dating.
38:25All right.
38:26Let's go.
38:30Bella doesn't trust my judgment.
38:33She's never seen me in a healthy relationship.
38:36All right.
38:36Well, let me get packing.
38:39And it makes me feel like a failure as a parent,
38:43that I was not able to show my daughter that I am capable of being in a good relationship.
38:51And I just want to go and I want to comfort her and I want to let her know that
38:55I'm okay and safe.
38:56She's my priority.
38:59Okay.
38:59Well, I better get going.
39:02Well, I had a really good time.
39:03Me too.
39:05So...
39:08The last two days have been awesome.
39:11Aw.
39:12Yeah.
39:12I know they have.
39:14Yeah, they've been awesome.
39:17The hardest thing is, what if my daughter never accepts him?
39:21Where would this relationship go?
39:23And I think he knows the answer.
39:27That's something I really don't want to deal with at this moment.
39:32I don't want to talk about this anymore.
39:35We'll have to see each other again soon.
39:38Yeah.
39:39Bye.
39:40Take care.
39:44I thought that this trip would bring Natalie and I closer together.
39:48I could use a drink.
39:50I imagine hitting it off with Bella and then in the future potentially becoming a father figure to her.
39:59I've always wanted to be a dad.
40:01So her daughter not wanting anything to do with me, it's impacting the dreams that I had for my life.
40:10And it makes me really sad.
40:12But these eyes won't cry.
40:16No fear, I'll fight.
40:23God.
40:29Next time on The Single Life.
40:32Let me touch it.
40:34Oh, wow.
40:35Okay.
40:37Going into this day, I don't really have any expectations.
40:40He's cute.
40:41He has a good body.
40:42It seems fun.
40:42Like this is literally one of the reasons I came to DR.
40:44To just have fun.
40:52Whoa, is that the Queen of England?
40:54Hello, peasants.
40:55Hello.
40:57After talking to Wayne for the past three months, I am in jolly old England to meet him in person.
41:02Hi.
41:03Oh, wow.
41:04Hello.
41:05I'm really hopeful that by the end of this trip, I do go home in a relationship.
41:09Now I have to ask you.
41:11Okay.
41:11Are you dating now?
41:12Here?
41:16Hey, Natalie, what's up?
41:19After Natalie's daughter disapproved of our relationship, I don't know where things stand.
41:25I was hoping that at some point you would talk to Bella to see how she feels.
41:30Because I know at the time you were saying, if she didn't like me, that, you know, we wouldn't have
41:36a relationship.
41:38Has that changed at all with her?
41:42I mean...
41:46Hey, Courtney.
41:49I'm going through a lot of internal conflict right now.
41:52I still care about Colt, and I still have love for him.
41:56Really, it is nice to see it.
41:57But then my mind's like, this lying, cheating, manipulative son of a bitch.
42:02Did you sleep with Diana?
42:04Can't say I didn't do that.
42:07Well, I'm glad you worked for her.
42:12Here we go, Ibiza, bitches.
42:13I'm trying to go with Sanela, listen to some music, and then you send me a message, and another, and
42:19another.
42:19You're ruining my night.
42:21But on top of it, I'm there with my cousin, and I'm embarrassed in front of her all over again.
42:26I need to understand what caused you to do what you did.
42:29If Tony wants to be with me, he's going to have to change.
42:33Fast.
42:34Fast.
42:34Fast.
42:35Fast.
42:35Fast.
42:36Fast.
42:36Fast.
42:36You
