According to Screen Rant, actress Drew Sidora was promoting her Lifetime television film, "CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story," in which she played TLC's T-Boz, when she met Pittman.

At the time, the actress — who had appeared in films such as "White Chicks," "Step Up," and "Sister Code" — had a 2-year-old son, Josiah, from a previous relationship, according to People magazine.

Sidora recalled that as they were pulling up to their Los Angeles hotel, Josiah's football tumbled out of their car.

The actress said her future husband "saw all this and said, 'Let me help this woman. She needs my help.' He ran and got the football and said, 'Aw, little man. You got a football? I played football. Let's play football,' " she remembered. "So, I'm was just standing there, and he didn't even see me."

The two eventually went on a first date that lasted 12 hours, People reported.

After three months of dating, Pittman proposed to Sidora in June 2014.

People magazine said that Pittman took Sidora to the rooftop of her building where he had it decorated with rose petals and tiki torches.

Pittman told People magazine that Sidora "broke down in tears."

"So I pulled out the ring, and I asked, 'What do you think is in this box?' And she said through her tears, 'A pair of earrings?' I was, like, 'It's a little more than earrings,'" he added.

Two months later, People reported that the couple married on a Los Angeles beach.

"We had been planning to do a big wedding, but Ralph's lease was up and I wanted him to move in," Sidora told the magazine. "We wanted to set a good example for Josiah, so we decided to just do a small wedding on the beach."

Sidora and Pittman were introduced to "RHOA" viewers during season 13 in 2020. However, their introduction was centered around the drama unfolding in her marriage.

"Unfortunately right before we started filming, my husband and I had just gone through one of those moments in marriage, a disagreement, and on top of that being quarantined," Sidora told E! News.

"Before cameras came into our home, we had had pretty much a blow-up. I think we were both at our breaking point and he left. He left for three days, I didn't know where he was," she added.

"RHOA" viewers watched as Sidora questioned Pittman about his whereabouts.

While celebrating their six-year anniversary, Sidora addressed Pittman's trip to Tampa — where he left for three days without her knowing.

At the season 13 reunion, Sidora admitted that she thought Pittman was cheating on her "but Ralph has never given me a reason to think he's been unfaithful."

Pittman later admitted to host Andy Cohen that he "needed to get away, you know, the beach is like, my place of refuge."

Sidora also shared that the two also went to marriage counseling where Pittman printed off the receipts of his trip, according to People. It noted that he often ate alone on the receipts, which quelled Sidora's fears that Pittman was unfaithful.

Sidora and Pittman's marriage is still on the rocks during season 14 of "RHOA."
