We're ready to meet new 'RHOA' cast member Drew Sidora and her beautiful family. Drew is married to Ralph Pittman and they have three kids together. Here's what you need to know.
Season 13 of The Real Housewives of Atlantahas a new addition to the cast, triple threat Drew Sidora. If Drew might seem kind of familiar, it's because the actress, singer, and producer actually has a pretty lengthy CV, including roles in That's So Raven, Girlfriends, The Game, Step Up, White Chicks, and more.
She and husband Ralph Pittman have been married since 2014.

“I find myself having, just to put on a strong face for [my kids],” she said. “To act like this is normal and really deep down inside, I was going through it emotionally," Drew said, per Us Weekly. She added, "I mean, my husband, as you will meet Ralph Pittman, he is, you know, a character. He just says whatever he feels. And this marriage counselor, he really respects. And I think she’s really been helping both of us to see each other’s perspective. We are actively in counseling now.”
Aside from working on their marriage, the couple is also working on ... their family sleep schedule. Drew opened up to Us Weekly about "relaunching" their sleep system.

“[It’s] a space that we’re in to come together in partnership, but it’s a sleep system to help kids get rest at night," she explained. "This sleep system that [Ralph] developed, it has like a yoga exercise, and it makes the bedtime routine fun, helps them reach REM sleep, which is super important. It also helps kids that suffer from insomnia and even mental health. We have come together during this whole time through marriage counseling to relaunch it and I’m excited. We’re excited about that.”

Ralph has been very open about how seriously he takes his role as a father. On Instagram, he shared a photo of himself and his step-son Josiah, writing, "Christmas was the first time my son JoJo met his biological dad and it was a special moment for our family. Anyone that knows me understands that I advocate for fathers. To no ones fault, I was raised in a single parent household and experienced the void of a fatherly figure."

It’s a challenging role, but understand your purpose and impact is greater than any acknowledgement you may or may not receive," he added. We already love this family so much.
