His dad broke the silence over his pending divorce from his mom

His dad, while appearing on “The Wendy Williams Show” to promote his movie The House Next Door back in June 2021, opened up about his pending divorce and also discussed his soon-to-be ex-wife Kenya’s “deadbeat” claim on him. 

During the conversation, when Wendy asked about his children with his soon-to-be-ex Kenya, with whom he was together for 23 years, Gary replied, saying they have adults and added to say there is no child support which he meant it. 

Then he went to say that it got out there that he is a deadbeat dad. 

Talking about his marriage, he added he had been silent the whole time because he felt social media was a soap opera and he was a guest with divorce, and he didn’t plan to be a regular cast member. 

He stated that his lawyer doesn’t want him to say anything because they have a lot of legal stuff to go through. 

Having said that, he added having a great twist in his divorce that a lot of people don’t know about, which he can’t speak on it yet. 

He wanted it to be big, which changed the whole dynamic of divorce.

When Wendy asked if he had a baby with another woman or if he fell out of love during their 23 years of togetherness, he said No. 

It’s not scandalous. 

This is one of those; it’s not a tragic ending. You are with someone for 23 years, and you know the marriage ended, and it happens. It’s ok that happens. I wanted to keep it private, but she didn’t”, 

Wendy also bought up the topic of the cheating allegation against him by Kenya. 

Kenya accused him of cheating on her with actress Claudia Jordan. Denying the allegation, he said Jordon has been so good to him and Kenya in their whole relationship. 

Explaining that he added to say that they had a movie premiere and Kenya couldn’t get her hair done, so he called Claudia up, and then Claudia hooked Kenya up with her hairdresser and that he didn’t have any idea where the rumor came from.
