While this is lower than what The Real Housewives of Potomac brings in to Bravo, it’s important to note that OWN and Bravo aren’t direct competitors and that Bravo is made available to many more households than the Oprah Winfrey Network is. Additionally, RHOP was a part of an extremely well-known franchise while Love & Marriage is still considered an under-the-radar series, despite its success in the ratings this year. For these reasons and more, these ratings certify LAMH and LAMDC as reality TV hits. Plus, as the episodes continue, expect more and more viewers to know exactly what Love & Marriage is bringing to the reality TV world (hint: it’s must-see!).
The Love & Marriage franchise was created by former Real Housewives of Atlanta executive producer Carlos King and first debuted back in 2019. The series is also available internationally on Discovery Plus.
New episodes of Love & Marriage: Huntsville and Love & Marriage: DC air Saturdays on OWN. For more on the series, visit OWN’s official website.
