She’s so glad Juan Dixon is here right now. Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Potomac was a difficult one for Robyn Dixon. Her husband lost his job, and suspicions of an affair came to light shortly after filming wrapped.
Juan worked as the head coach of the men’s basketball team at Coppin State University, and the topic of his termination comes up quite a bit with the cast on Season 8. In a notable exchange, Candiace Dillard Bassett suggested that Robyn’s public comments about allegations made against Juan resulted in his termination.
But in real time, Robyn and Juan are putting all the drama behind them. And Juan has made a surprising decision regarding the future of his career.
Juan “appreciates” the time he has with family while his career takes a backseat
Robyn appeared on the January 7 episode of Watch What Happens Live to share Juan’s career plans. She also updated fans on how they’ve been doing as a couple after questionable moves by the former NBA player.
Andy Cohen had Robyn play a game of “We Juan-A-Know!” in which she answered a handful of questions about her husband. The topic of Juan’s current employment status came up.
“No, he decided to spend the year off and [to] spend more time with the family, and with the kids,” she answered about whether he had found another coaching job.
Instead, Juan is focusing on sharing his skills in a philanthropic manner by “volunteering with my son’s high school team.”
The couple share sons, Corey and Carter. And Juan is enjoying spending more time with them. Robyn revealed, “He appreciates it now.”
Andy replied, “I’m sure the boys appreciate it, too.”
“They do. We all do,” Robyn added.
The Dixons are seemingly in a more peaceful place now. During RHOP Season 8, Episode 7, Robyn revealed that her husband “is hurting.”
“Juan being fired, it’s like a part of him has been taken away from him,” she explained during a confessional interview. “Seeing him go through this with no plan, that really hurts my heart for my husband.”
Thankfully, Juan had a solid contract in place that allowed him to take time off for his family.
“Financially, things are the same. You know, even though he lost his job, Juan had 15 months left on his contract, so he was paid for 15 months of work,” she said at the time. “Hopefully, Juan gets a new job in 15 months before, you know, then we have to start making changes. But, financially, we’re good.”
For the sake of their family, it’s nice to know that there is peace in the Dixon household. As for the RHOP drama, it seems that Juan is the husband under fire this season.
