"I remember the first moment I saw Desiree, I loved her. I fell in love with her. I knew she had to be mine. I thought she was the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in my life," said Bryant.

"She’s the best person I’ve ever met. I’ve never met anyone like her. Then I found out she already had a boyfriend and I thought I needed to find out a way to get her, but then I met [White’s ex-husband] and we became friends," he added.

Awkwardness overcame the room

After his admission, a wave of awkwardness overcame the room.

Desiree remembered, saying, “Everyone was kind of laughing — and then it got quiet.”

Later that evening, Bryant shared a dance with Desiree where he demanded to know where she never gave him a chance and yet he would have taken care of her.

“I asked him what he meant and he said, ‘Nothing. I love you, I love [Desiree’s ex-husband] then he got quiet," she recounted.

Marriage crumbled in less than six months

Sadly, Desiree's marriage crumbled in less than six months because her then-husband had adopted what she called a totally different lifestyle.

“He’d ask me to eat with him or hang out and watch a show. He was trying to be there for me," she added.

One day Bryant kissed her as they spend time together and almost immediately, the friends became lovers.

Within a year, she became pregnant with their first son, Sawyer, who is now nine, and the couple got married in 2012.

“I always wanted to marry you and this isn’t because of the baby, but let’s start this family right,’ ” Bryant gushed.
“We were always friends but when we were together [romantically], it was like nothing was hard to do anymore knowing we had each other," said Desiree.
