Depressed, recovering and trying to get her life back on track, she is now living in St. Now present day, Armand is being traded from his former team (yet again), to the Cyclones (his step father's) team and in true fashion exploded, destroying everything in his path.Įlla is still reeling from her past relationship with a rapper who is now dead. Those of you who have read Kim and Leland's story is where we first meet Armand. Their lives tragic but a beautiful union was born. I mean Damn Armand and Ella, who knew I needed these two in my life.

LISTENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!! Ella and Armand showed up and showed out with an unapologetic display of black love and I was absolutely here for it.

If “That’s my man and I’ma stick beside him” was a person, it would definitely be Ella McClain. Big South almost lost his shyt but, Ella shut that down real quick. I knew the McClain clan was not going to be happy with their union. I loved the dynamics between Ella and Armand because, they really complemented and balanced each other. Their chemistry was explosive and their attraction was palpable. With all the shyt they had going on in their personal lives, Ella and Armand managed to gravitate to one another. When Ella learns the identity of her real father, all bets are off and she cuts Esther off. The fact that Esther refuses to acknowledge her behavior and won't apologize doesn’t help. She’s never forgiven Esther Reese for the shenanigans she pulled with Big South and Jo. Between dealing with guilt and the rabid fans of her ex, Ella is also dealing with her relationship (or lack thereof) with her mama. Hell, other than Big South, I don’t think anyone else even knew she went to rehab. No one really knew about the abuse she went through with her ex. I was so happy for him because, he honestly didn’t understand his own behavior. When the Cyclones made it a condition of his contact, and he had no choice, we finally learn what’s going on with Armand. Armand has been so angry and volatile most of his life and he refused to go to therapy. They’re both flawed and complicated individuals who are sometimes misunderstood by their family and friends. Ella and Armand’s pairing is questionable but, it works.

Louis to be closer to family as part of her healing process. Ella is recovering from the trauma she endured in her last relationship, so she moved to St. To say Armand is not a happy camper is an understatement. Because of his recent antics, he finds himself being traded yet again but, this time, he’s being shipped off to his step daddy's team. Armand is still angry and difficult to work with. Whew chile! Ella is all grown up and I was NOT ready! I was so over the moon when Alexandria House announced an Ella and Armand hook-up and PERSONAL did not disappoint.
