Her Source caught up with reality TV personality Chrissy Lampkin and rapper Jim Jones who are gearing up for their second season of  ’Chrissy & Mr. Jones’, which premieres tonight at 9 pm on VH1. 

How do you guys balance being on reality TV with your regular lives?

Jim Jones: We balance it by being regular people and not letting reality TV reflect how we are when they are not there. We are all about family and mostly my son and our businesses. We are raising our son.

What other reality shows do you two like to watch in your spare time?

Chrissy: We’re not into reality shows. We only watch shows that come on Sundays like “Ray Donovan,” “Homeland,” and many others. We don’t even watch our own show.

What advice would you give couples to maintain their relationships?

Chrissy: The advice that I would give is make sure that you always communicate with each other and start out as friends before anything because me & Jim were friends first before we met.

Are we hearing wedding bells in the future?

Chrissy: We didn’t set a date yet, but we’re still  getting married soon. Right now, for us it’s all about raising our son and our relationship.

Last season, we saw you sampling a clothing line with your best friends Talia and Emily B. Are we going to see a clothing line in the future?

Chrissy: This time around, Talia and Emily are currently working on different ventures, but we still communicate with each other. Talia is working on her music and Emily is working on her shoe line but they are still on the show. I am working on Lady Vamp, a joint venture with Jim’s clothing line Vampire Life and have plans to open a store in Miami.

How do you feel about Nancy putting out a book that is based on relationships and dating?

Jim Jones: My mom has lived a lot of life and she’s been in a lot of different relationships, so I’m sure there’s a few lessons in there. She’s a great woman to learn from because she was a single mom raising four kids so I don’t have a problem with it.

What can fans expect this season?

Chrissy: This season, you are going see our new family member Pudie (Jim’s son) as he moves in with us, and more projects in the works like my own clothing line Lady Vamp in which I have plans to open a store in Miami soon. I work for Vampire Life as a creative director and it’s definitely a lot more independence when it comes to my business and you see me get advice from Deb Antney, who is a hip hop manger.
