Sheree Whitfield, the former "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member, hasn't seriously dated since her divorce to NFL player Bob Whitfield six years ago.
So she's appearing on Patti Stanger's Bravo show "Millionaire Matchmaker." Stanger this season isn't actually matching "millionaires" but celebrities, some of whom are not millionaires.
"I want somebody that I can grow old with," Whitfield says in the video below. "What I miss most about true love is definitely the companionship and…great sex."
UPDATE March 8, 2015: Shockingly, Sheree dated a seemingly nice dude but proceeded to ask him too many questions about his ex, a general no no on a first date, according to Stanger. And Stanger complained about Sheree the way Iyanla did: she is closed off. No wonder she hasn't dated anybody seriously in seven years.
The last reality show 44-year-old Whitfield was on was "Iyanla: Fix My Life" on OWN in 2013. It didn't work out too well for her. Iyanla Vanzant found Whitfield frustrating to work with. She felt Whitfield was unwilling to open up and be truly vulnerable in her efforts to improve Whitfield's co-parenting relationship with Bob. Given how she frequently acted on the first four seasons of "Real Housewives," that's hardly a shocker.

CNN afternoon anchor Brooke Baldwin is on her way to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania for a week-long vacation.
Baldwin said in a 5 Questions segment: "I'm going with a gal pal from my high school in Atlanta. It's a six-seven day hike to the top. It isn't gonna be pretty — but I know it will be worth it."
She worked at Atlanta's CNN Center for several years but moved to CNN's New York offices last summer. CNN President Jeff Zucker wanted his talent closer by.
