NENE LEAKES GETS DUMPED . . . AND HER MAN IS ENGAGED TO A NEW CHICK!! (PICS OF THE OTHER WOMAN

just got hold of some EXPLOSIVE news . . . the man that NeNe is in LOVE WITH has DROPPED HER like a bad habit.

No we're not talking about her ESTRANGED HUSBAND GREG . . . whom NeNe hasn't been ROMANTICALLY INTERESTED IN for years. We're talking about NFL player Charles Grant - NeNe's longtime MISTER-ESS!!

First off, we know NeNe DENIED that there was anything popping off between them . . . but she's NOT TELLING THE TRUTH. NeNa and Charles used to GET IT IN and that is a FACT, not rumor.

Anyways - word is that NeNe always thought that once she got a DIVORCE from Greg, that she and Charles could take their relationship PUBLIC. But there's a WRINKLE in NeNe's plan.

You see Charles just announced that he's ENGAGED to another woman - an Atlanta stylist named Marlo Hampton.

Oh . . . and Marlo and NeNe are set to have a little CONFRONTATION on this season of the Atlanta Housewives. We can't WAIT!!!
