Back in January, K. Michelle posted a photo of herself with pale teal-colored hair, staring in the mirror in the bathroom and captioned the photo, "When your fiancé catches you playing in the mirror." According to BET, the photo lead many to wonder if the singer who was at the time reportedly dating Memphis-based dentist Dr. Kastam Sims were actually engaged.

K. Michelle's appearance on Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta has also spun-off K. Michelle: My Life, the star's own reality show. K. Michelle's album, More Issues Than Vogue, was hailed by Pitchfork as "contemporary R&B at its best."
As for more K. Michelle: My Life, the show is also reportedly done, according to its star. On Instagram, just before the premiere of K. Michelle Season 3 in December 2016, she wrote that it is her last year of playing a major character in reality television. K. Michelle is continuing to tour, sing, and post avidly on social media.
"… I'll still be on tv with some other projects but I've been producing and creating shows recently and I found a love for it I never thought I would. My life is changing and I'm enjoying the ride."
K. Michelle said in an interview on Wendy Williams' show that she decided to return for her very entertaining guest spot on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta Season 5, but wanted to keep her appearance short-lived, according to Bustle.
"Yeah, I really won't be filming like that… It's kind of an extension of my show on that show… they offered me a lot of money."
Most of Michelle's appearances were limited to scenes with Joseline Hernandez, one of K. Michelle's last remaining associates in the cast.
Later this year, Michelle has plans to drop her highly anticipated fourth studio album via Atlantic Records and fans are eagerly awaiting the records' release.
