Divorce of parents

It shocked the fans when the perfect couple of 18 years announced their separation in March. 

According to Kenya, the reason she filed for divorce is that Gary cheated on her. 

She made a statement where it seems like she was slamming a woman she believes is Gary's mistress.

In the post, she revealed that despite the mistress of Gary knowing he has a wife and children, and the mistress herself has a child, she didn't care and dated Gary. 

She also accused her of being a golddigger who is only after her ex-husband's money and also said the mistress is not getting any money. 

Kenya also revealed that Gary had been on vacations to the Bahamas and Florida with his mistress. 

According to a court document, Kenya has asked for $44000 a month because it's the amount Gary provided to her before. 

She is heartbroken by Gary's actions and says she gave up her career to support her man and got cheated on in return. 

Gary's response to Kenya's allegations

Gary remained quiet for some time after Kenya made many accusations against him. 

But while appearing on The Breakfast Club, he broke his silence and revealed his side of the story. 

He said he was the one who left first, and he was the one who filed for divorce. 

He also said that the reason for divorce was not cheating but the fact that he was unhappy. 

He also revealed that in 23 years of togetherness, he had left many times but only stayed for his kids. 

He also cleared the accusation by Kenya, where she said he was a deadbeat father. 

He said he was always there for his kids and liked being a father, and he never let his kids ride the bus and always took them to school, picked them up, and never missed a birthday. 

He also said he hasn't spoken to his kids since he left his wife and all this divorce mess started.
