Harlem comedian Freddie Moultry, 33, and his ex-girlfriend Nicole Ferrell, 28, broke up in 2014 when it became clear she wasn’t ready for marriage and kids. But not long after, the two fell into a hookup routine, with Moultry hoping Ferrell might one day change her mind.
“If you break up with someone and then you’re hooking up, it’s always in the back of your mind: ‘Well, maybe they’ll [change],’ ” Moultry tells The Post.
The pair are one of five former couples on ” (premiering Friday at 10 p.m. on WE tv), where exes spend three weeks in seclusion at a Dominican Republic resort to finally “let go” of each other with the help of host Carmen Electra and New York-based psychiatrist .
“Most couples will decide to stay in a relationship that is not fulfilling as opposed to doing the scary thing, which is getting back out there and trying something new,” says Major, who on the show deals with couples held together by a child, mutual friends and even a man who pays his ex-girlfriend’s bills.
Even couples who thought they were over each other discovered things about themselves.
“I gained an understanding of the people I chose to date and why,” says Brittney Horner, 27, whose ex, Lucas Yancey, 29, broke things off six months ago when she wanted more of a commitment. “I was picking these noncommittal guys for so long. I [realized I] was doing it because maybe I didn’t want to commit either. I didn’t want to put myself out there like that.”
