Recently married couple Monica and Shannon Brown made a trip to NYC, hitting up quite a few stops while they were in town for the holiday season.
The happily wifed up couple stopped at Toys For Tots to help donate toys to children, and to keep them entertained as well. Monica got down on the floor piano, and showed off some of her moves!

The two have done all they could to help the children of NYC, while they’ve said that they want children of their own!
Monica recently went on the Wendy Williams show to talk about her marriage with Shannon Brown and her plans for kids in the future:
On How She Met Shannon:
For me, I’m very spiritual and I believe we have our own plans and God has another. So I decided it would just be me and my kids. But remember me explaining to you “I’ll just be by myself”? Sometime , I think I see a little too much because of what I do. I see what the men do when the wives are at home; the whole nine yards. So I was like “I’ll be alone; works for me! I already have kids.” I go to work one day and we we’re shooting the “Love All Over Me,” which was right after I left here. I was here promoting “Everything To Me” and “Love All Over Me” was the next single. I go into the video shoot and he walks in, of course, he’s so easy on the eye but even after that it was the way he treated other people.I’m a southern girl and I like southern hospitality; I like for people to be a certain way and I don’t like egos. So the fact that he was speaking and he was talking to camera men, he was walking around, he was doing his own thing and [he was also] very relaxed. Then he started talking…
We met on the video and I always say we had one long date that’s gone on for almost two years now because we’ve been married a year as of last week. We dated about six and half months before we married.
On being married secretly:
Actually, we did it Justice of the Peace style. It wasn’t so much that it was a secret; we just didn’t make an announcement, which is the new way for everything.On if her family and friends were upset:
They all knew; they helped us prepare because we had to bring the Justice of the Peace to our house. We promised; I am my mother’s first born; he is his mother’s first born and then our mothers are very close, so there was an unspoken “So when are we all celebrating?” type of thing going on. So we just decided that after the season they were fighting to get a 3-peat [we would get married because] we didn’t want to cause distractions during the season. That was really the real reason. I said, “Okay, we’ll make a date.” Shannon picked July 9th and that is when we did the actual ceremony.On if she’s pregnant:
No, I’m not. This is the thing though, I don’t even know where that came from and we would love to be and we practice regularly. So it’s not a big deal.On raising a blended family:
My stepdad is amazing! My spirituality comes from him. He’s a minister and he was there for me when things were really rough, so I knew that a blended family would only be difficult if we made it difficult and so we didn’t. There are all mature adults involved, which is a rare situation.On her upcoming album New Life:
For me, “New Life” the title basically says that if you allow God to bless you, he will. Sometimes we block out our own blessing holding onto things that are not just for us. I had to learn to embrace my new life and that’s what the album is about. I talk about my past, which by any means I am in no way ashamed of and do not feel convicted about. All the things that happened in my life helped me to get to the point where I’m at.
