Summary

Singer Michelle Williams (@RealMichelleW) and her fiancé, professional sports chaplain Chad Johnson (@PastorCJ), have one of the most moving love stories this year. After finding love unexpectedly through the bond in their shared faith and getting engaged, their happiness was derailed when Williams revealed she was battling severe depression. She checked herself into a treatment facility with Johnson standing right by her side. Now they’re back on the road to matrimony and documenting their journey to the altar on their new OWN series, Chad Loves Michelle. Charli (@ManWifeDog) and Cori (@CoriMurray) sat down with the soon-to-be-newlyweds to discuss the importance of owning your truth, finding a spiritual partner and healing from the power of love. Plus, the ladies are dishing on the midterm election highs and lows and how they plan to reactivate their joy.
