VH1’s latest reality project Hollywood Exes premiered this week. The series stars Nicole Murphy (ex-wife of Eddie Murphy – 13 years), Jessica Canseco (ex-wife of Jose Canseco – 4 years), Sheree Fletcher (ex-wife of Will Smith – 3 years), Mayte Garcia (ex-wife of Prince – 3 years), and Andrea Kelly (ex-wife of R. Kelly – 12 years).

Hollywood ex-wives are part of an exclusive sorority whose members’ lives seem to mirror that of a modern day Cinderella fairytale.  But all the fame and fortune of marrying a celebrity may seem fun and glamorous at first, but it often comes with a price tag.  Living in the shadow of your very famous husband can take its toll on your psyche when you feel second to his career.

 These five women, who have all been friends for years and in some cases for as long as 20 years, want to show the world they are more than just a trophy wife with a pretty face.  They want to establish themselves as independent, successful women and bring relevance and honor to themselves separate from their very famous exes…even if there is a little drama along the way. New episode will air on Wednesdays. Visit www.vh1.com for more info on the show.
