He once stole 15 cents from his dad's pocket and was caught.

The incident represents the financial struggle in a big family of twelve.

Check out this hilarious stand up by Wayans on his children:

After sixteen long years of being married, the Wayans couple and parents to four kids divorced in 2000

The tragic separation was not expected, but sources mention that the reason behind separation is irreconcilable differences.

The busy schedule of Damon was blamed.

Despite the couple trying to seek spousal help and consultation, they ended up in separation.

Affair/ Girlfriend

After the divorce from Lisa Thorner, Wayans found love again with an American Actress, Regina Hall
