After seasons of public disputes, Martell Holt and Marsau Scott have finally reached a turning point. The two men, central figures on OWN’s Love and Marriage: Huntsville, have agreed to a truce, promising to stop their negative comments against each other. This significant shift occurred during a private meeting, signaling a potential de-escalation in one of the show’s longest-running conflicts.
The Breakthrough Agreement
The agreement between Martell and Marsau was revealed in Season 10, Episode 9, titled “Ken, Can We Fix It?”. Martell shared the news during a visit with fellow cast members Nell and Chris Fletcher. He confirmed that he had followed their advice and met with Marsau one-on-one.
Martell described the meeting as a positive step forward. He noted that while Marsau initially dominated the conversation, this time was different.
Martell explained, “He tried to do a lot of talking. But I think that was the first time I have out-talked him. But in the end, we came to an agreement. We don’t talk negative about each other” .
The core of their agreement is straightforward: both men have committed to no longer making negative public comments about one another. This commitment aims to create space for their relationship to progress without the constant conflict that has characterized their interactions in recent seasons.
Cast Reaction to the Truce
Nell and Chris Fletcher, who have often found themselves involved in or commenting on the duo’s disputes, reacted with surprise and approval to the news. Nell acknowledged the significance of the moment, given the stubborn nature of both individuals.
Nell stated, “So to hear that Martell has made up with Scott is very huge. I know because I’ve had my problems with them, and they all are stubborn as hell. Even Martell, so for me, I’m pretty impressed” .
Chris Fletcher saw the agreement as a positive foundation. He immediately suggested the group plan activities together to foster the mending relationship. While Nell proposed “fun activities,” Martell showed caution, expressing a desire to avoid creating more drama. Chris clarified he meant adult games like card games, not the kind that would fuel further tension. Despite his initial hesitation, Martell agreed to attend a planned game night, showing his willingness to test the new dynamic.
The Limits of the Agreement
While the truce between Martell and Marsau is a major development, it has its boundaries. The agreement specifically applies only to the two men and does not automatically extend to their partners. When Chris asked if the peace would include Martell’s partner, Arionne, and Marsau’s wife, LaTisha, Nell pointed out that “females are different” .
Martell confirmed that Arionne and LaTisha have not yet spoken. However, he expressed hope that if the women do talk, he and Marsau are now in a position to help calm the situation rather than make it worse. This indicates that while the central male conflict may be cooling, other relationship dynamics within the group remain unresolved and could be a source of future storylines.
A Potential Turning Point
This agreement marks one of the most clear signs of de-escalation between Martell and Marsau in recent seasons of Love & Marriage: Huntsville. The show, which follows three high-powered African-American couples in Huntsville, Alabama, as they navigate business ventures, family dynamics, and personal turmoil, has often featured the tension between these two as a central storyline.

Martell himself acknowledged that the truce does not solve all their problems. He admitted that “a lot of issues” remain unresolved. Nell summarized the current situation by saying, “Things are getting a bit messy,” and that she is waiting to see what happens next, particularly between LaTisha and Arionne. For now, the audience is left to see if this agreement can hold and become a true turning point or if it is merely a pause in the ongoing drama.
