Monique later decided to put school on hold to pursue a career in music, moved to Washington, DC and worked as an executive assistant for her entertainment attorney in order to pay the bills while she learned more about the music industry. That was where she met her future husband, former Washington Redskins offensive tackle Chris Samuels, who at the time was looking to start his own record label. Monique and Chris began a great friendship, which eventually turned romantic. They dated for six years before they got married in 2012.
