Has money and fame gotten to their heads?

Melanie and Derwin have both had their ups and downs. They had been together on and off since the first season. They started dating before Derwin became a pro athlete. He signed a rookie contract with the San Diego Sabers. While Melanie had to make a decision to go to med-school at Johns Hopkins in LA where they are now or to go USC in San Diego where he is moving to. She decided to stay with him and move to San Diego.

In one of the episodes of the first season, Melanie went to lunch with one of their old friend from college now Derwin's rival in the game, Trey Wiggs. While out for lunch the paparazzi took pictures of them together and rumors were spreading. Melanie had to call Derwin's image consultant Dion to fix the problem with some images of them together.

At one point in their relationship, Derwin thought Melanie was pregnant and proposed to her live on national television at halftime in one of his games. She said "yes" because she was feeling pressured but later on had doubts because she didn't want to get lost in his "football" world and not accomplish her own dreams. Later on in the season, Malik and Derwin go to a club and he introduces him to Drew Sidora. Derwin ended up driving her home because Malik was out of it. The next day Drew asked Derwin to be in her new video. Things went downhill since then. That was part of the reason leading on to the first break up. Drew and Derwin got closer and they ended up sleeping together. Derwin told Melanie about him and Drew getting closer but lied about them sleeping together when she asked. Not until Derwin brought her to a party, that’s when Melanie found out that they slept together and called it quits. This was their first official break up and the end of season one.

In season 2, Melanie moves on and dates Jerome while Derwin starts dating Janay. During this time Melanie and Derwin had at least one affair. They both realized that they still wanted each other, but at this time Derwin had already gotten Janay pregnant. Finally in season 3, they get back together and deal with Janay’s pregnancy. Later on in the season, they eventually got married and Janay gave birth to his son. Now in season 4, two years later, they are happily married but Melanie questions if DJ is really Derwin’s son, so she does a DNA test.

As you can see, Melanie and Derwin have clearly been through a lot. The only thing I don’t get is why would Melanie question DJ’s DNA two years after he was born, why wasn't the test done before this point. As a woman, if I had my doubts, that would have been first on my to do list, in order to maintain my sanity. I think she only started to question it because he was ruining her picture perfect family and life. From the beginning this was their dream and now they are finally here. I think Melanie feels like Janay is just jealous of what her and Derwin have and taking it out on the son. I believe that now that they made it to the top that they are not remembering how they got there. I predict that they are going to let the money and fame go to their heads to the point where it is going to affect their relationship. What do you think? Have Melanie and Derwin let the fame and fortune get to them?
