Businessman Martell Holt is a single father of five who has multiple women fighting over him, including RHOA cast member Shereé Whitfield.
Martell, 40, is a real estate tycoon who owns his own wine brand. He is best known for his appearance on the Love & Marriage: Huntsville reality series on the OWN network.
Martell was born on January 4, 1982, making him a Capricorn. He is a native of Huntsville, Alabama, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Education degree from Alabama A&M University in 2008.
He taught at Sparkman Middle School for two years before leaving to focus on his business empire.
Martell shares four children – son Martell II, and daughters Maliah, Mariah, and Malani, with his ex-wife Melody Holt.
He also fathered a toddler son, Knox, a.k.a. Maverick, during an extramarital affair with entrepreneur Arionne Curry.
Martell is an excellent father to his five children, who are featured prominently on his Instagram page.
Rumors swirled when Shereé Whitfield claimed she is dating Holt and has introduced him to her friends and family as her man. She even claimed they are moving in together.
But Martell’s mistress and baby mama, Arionne, insists Shereé is only using Martell for a storyline on RHOA.
She posted an email exchange on social media, calling Martell a “narcissist” and a “liar” and she hopes his three daughters don’t grow up to run into a man like their father.
“F*** you Martell Holt you made me like this. It took 2 seasons of you discussing me every episode to make her famous and she left you to even say something. I was s0000000 dumb! I hope your 3 daughters never run into a man like you! And loyal to you, you been using me! My heart hurts for you and you still don’t get it! You could’ve moved on and kept it real but you lied about it! Stop placing blame on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
In another email, the 31-year-old boutique owner blasts her ex for dating “an old b****,” presumably she’s referring to 52-year-old Shereé, who is divorced from ex-NFL player Bob Whitfield.
In an interview with disgraced vlogger Tasha K, Arionne said Martell has a way with women that melts her heart.
I’ll agree that Martell isn’t your typical Morning Wood. As you can see, he carries a lot of baggage and female drama with him.
Still, he is a good catch if you’re the adventurous type who doesn’t mind the drama and extra baggage.
