‘Real Housewives Of Potomac’ Star Candiace Dillard Bassett Tells Andy Cohen How Long She Thinks Her Co-Star Robyn Dixon’s “Dysfunctional” Marriage Will Last

The Real Housewives of Potomac star Candiace Dillard Bassett thinks her co-star Robyn Dixon‘s marriage is in it for the long haul.

While stopping by The Clubhouse on Sunday night’s (Jan. 21) episode of Watch What Happens Live, Bassett was grilled about her ongoing drama with Robyn, whose husband Juan Dixon tends to raise eyebrows in the group.

Despite their confrontation in the latest episode of RHOP taking a turn for the worst, Bassett has no ill will toward the couple — even if they might be “dysfunctional.”

When Andy Cohen asked how long she thinks they’ll last, the reality star said, “I don’t think — they never leaving. It may be dysfunctional but they’re always gonna be together.”

The Dixons, who first met in high school, have had a roller-coaster relationship. After tying the knot in 2005 and having two children, they decided to divorce in 2012 because of infidelity. When Robyn signed on for RHOP four years later, they were co-parenting amicably and still living together. Eventually, they became re-engaged and exchanged vows for the second time in 2022.

While Juan has been plagued with cheating rumors and allegations of questionable behavior, Robyn has stuck by his side. But he’s not the only Potomac husband to have some drama. Last year, Gizelle Bryant called Bassett’s husband into question — a move Bassett claimed was made to distract from Juan and Robyn’s problems.

The tension only continued into the currently airing season, which is documenting the fallout of Robyn and Bassett’s friendship.

“I do feel like I’m still in mourning, especially with these recent episodes,” Bassett told Decider’s Karen Kemmerle ahead of Sunday night’s episode. “It’s still confusing to me. It’s strange that she has this very strong reaction to things that I’ve said when, before my time on the show, some of these other girls had committed way worse indiscretions, like attacking her marriage and her own life.”

She added, “It makes me wonder: what is the motive? Who are you and what are you really trying to do here?”

Still, Bassett admitted to Cohen on WWHL that she “misses” her friendship with Robyn.
