Bob Whitfield is also notable for being formerly married to reality starSheree Whitfield. They began a relationship in the mid-1990s, welcomed their first child in 1996, a second child in 1999, married in 2000 and divorced in 2008. Outside of her marriage to Bob, around the time of their divorce Sheree became famous as an original cast member on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." The series debuted in 2008. Sheree was a main cast member through season four. She returned as a guest in seasons 8, 9 and 10. She then returned as a guest again in season 13 and was made a main cast member again starting in 2022's season 14.
Bob paid Sheree child support for both children but was not forced to pay alimony by the courts. Because of her lack of a formal education and no skilled trade or profession, she appealed the decision of no alimony, but lost the case, as well as her home they shared together. Sheree sued Bob in 2012 for failing to pay his $2,142 monthly support for 38 months. In his own filing, Bob claimed to be unable to make the payments because he did not have enough money. He ultimately agreed to pay Sheree $75,000 (the owed amount for the missed 38 months), and she agreed to accept just $1,000 per month for 12 months before reverting to $2,142 per month.

Sheree Whitfield Relationship
In September 2000, Bob – without Sheree – paid $2.395 million for an 8,500-square-foot mansion in Atlanta. In 2007, amid their separation and pending divorce, the home was put up for sale for $2.8 million. The timing could not have been worse.
