Did You Know They WERE Married?

February 28th, 2012 - By MN Editor

Sometimes, celebrities get married and divorced so fast, you wouldn’t even know they were ever married. And sometimes, we never knew because these unions happened before our time. We here at Madame Noire were surprised by many of these unions. Are you?

Persia White and Saul Williams

Persia White and famous poet and slam artist Saul Williams met when he made a guest appearance on Girlfriends as Lynn’s love interest “Sivad.” The artsy couple hit it off immediately and eventually married in 2008 after five years of dating.  Unfortunately, the artsy couple called it quits just a year later.

    WTH happened to Aretha Franklin. Darn, darm, darn. Ladies, let’s stay fit.

    Nobody bats an eye when a man marries someone 20-30 years younger than he is. But god forbid an older woman marries a younger man. The situation suddenly becomes remarkable and if the couple breaks up, it’s just assumed that the reason is because she’s soooo old. Sick double standard. I’d encourage all women to date younger men because men die earlier than women so if you’re with an older man, chances are you’ll be changing his diapers for ten years, then he’ll die and then you’ll be alone for 20 years on top of that. The older-woman-younger-man taboo needs to be overthrown and the way to do it is for women to date younger.

    Come on ppl! Who didn’t know about Jermaine and Hazel were married and Play and his ex wife were married and divorced so long ago who cares! You guys could have done a lot better on this one. Booooo! 

    • Blackopsdeb

       Fo’ real! I remember reading all about it in Jet magazine. I remember how lavish it was that Hazel’s dress was covered in pearls and how the wedding was the closest thing to a royal wedding black folks had experienced since…gee, I don’t know when.

      How ’bout Stephanie Mills’ marriage to Jeffrey Daniel of Shalamar? And speaking of Shalamar…Howard Hewitt’s marriage to actress Nia Peeples.

    “surprising white folks news”??   Can I say  “surprising black folks news”?

    I did not know about Persia White and Saul, but I did know about the rest of the couples.

  • Dustyzmomma

    AND THIS IS IMPORTANT WHY NOW?

  • WhoKnew?

    I knew about Cicely Tyson and Miles Davis. He was abusive to her. He even wrote about it in his book. He said that one night after he beat her and she called the police that she was hiding in the basement while Miles was upstairs with the police having a drink.

    I’ve read the first page of posts, some of which I Laughed Out Loud at……but I CANNOT believe NO ONE mentioned Jermaine and Randy having the SAME baby mama……HUH???? That really really really got me!! siblings and cousins?? WHOA And I know it happens; I’m not oblivious, but I just had NO idea about that one. Actually SMH.

    I’m on my lunch break.  It’s taking forever to navigate through these pictures.  I agree with some of the other posters:  I thought Marvin and Anna adopted their son, Miles Davis is NOT a blues musician, and Nina, Cicely and Harry?  Wow.

    • clfrank2002

      They did adopt him. But technically Marvin was the biological father as Anna got Marvin and the niece “together.”

  • Plute2003

    Mario Lopez’s show, “Saved by the baby” did not include  Ali Landry, it was another young lady  named Courtney Mazza. By this time, he and Ali had been called it quits. I’m starting to question the validity of your sources.

    • Onecorgilover

      Reread what they said: 
      It seems that Extra TV host Mario Lopez loves showing his girlfriend and baby mama on reality television. If you recall, he had a VH1 reality show “Saved By The Baby” about their journey towards parenthood. But only a few years ago, Lopez was embroiled in a scandal. Weeks after marrying Ali Landry in 2004, the marriage was annulled because of alleged infidelity on Lopez’ part days prior to the wedding.

      They are referencing his baby mama, Courtney Mazza (though they never named her), not Ali when they said he loved showing his girlfriend/baby mama on reality tv and that the show saved by the baby was about their journey towards parenthood.

    Come on, Madame Noir how you gonna describe Miles Davis as a legendary blues musician. Nothing wrong with the blues but damn, Miles is responsible by himself for creating at least two styles of JAZZ.

    Sadly,I realize that these days people are indifferent to the artistic, cultural and social significance of black america’s highest cultural expression (yeah, Jazz). But I expect people in journalism to know what they are talking about. Is that too much to ask?

  • Sugar_Spice

    WHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTTT! @ Cicely Tyson & Miles Davis

  • Jchiefc1

    Aretha caught him in bed with another man back in 1984.  That’s why they got a divorce

  • Shan

    The son with Gordy’s neice is adopted he didn’t father a child with her neice. Marvin and Anna adopted her neice’s child.

    • Shan

      Well color me corrected. It was his biological son but his wife adopted him. And the math looks like the niece was 16 when she had the son. My, my, my, what was Marvin up to?

    • clfrank2002

      Marvin is the biological father of the son they adopted. He “got together” with the niece to concieve the old fashioned way and he and Anna adopted the boy since Anna couldn;t conceive.

  • GUEST

    At least they were married.  Now they just use them and  get rid of  them.

  • Whatchoo talkinbout willis

    i agree w/george clooney. being married feels like a weight is resting on your chest while ur being held underwater

  • Tee

    I knew a few of these… my mom told me there was a rumor going around back in the day that Aretha had caught Glynn in bed with one of her sons! Owww!! But I love me some Re Re!! She looked great back in the day!

    • Hemme

      Thats not true, I heard her once on an interview call him the love of her life and she said breaking up with him was the worst mistake she’d ever made, she is still friendly with him and he often speaks at her events and she at his although he has been remarried for years.

      • Tee

        Thanks for clearing it up, I always looked for it on the net to see if it really happened! I love Aretha, and I swear, for the longest, I couldn’t look at Glynn without thinking about it!

        • April64baby

          I’d heard some kind of rumor many years ago too about him being caught in bed with someone (a man perhaps) while they were married. Never knew if it was really true or not.
