Is Tyrese Gibson married?
Tyrese married Samantha Lee Gibson on February 14, 2017, and the pair have one daughter, Soraya Lee Gibson, born in 2018.
On December 29, 2020, Tyrese and Samantha announced their separation on Instagram in a joint statement, after nearly four years of marriage.
In the statement, Tyrese says that the couple still has "love and respect" for each other with their "intention to remain the best of friends & strong co-parents".
The couple officially filed for divorce months earlier in October 2020.
Samantha said, "I can walk away knowing I did the best that I could" but Tyrese vowed to "get her back".
However, the couple reportedly had rocky divorce proceedings mirroring those of Tyrese's first divorce from Norma Gibson.
Gibson was married to Norma from 2007 to 2009, and the couple had one child, daughter Shayla Somer, born in 2007.
