Tyrese Gibson amicably ending his three-year marriage to wife #2 Samantha Lee - Daily Mail

'Black families and marriages are under attack': Tyrese Gibson and second wife Samantha Lee announce their split as he muses being 'raised in broken homes with no examples of what being a husband or father is'

Six-time Grammy nominee Tyrese Gibson and his second wife Samantha Lee jointly announced Tuesday that they're amicably divorcing after over three years.

Writing about the split on Instagram, Tyrese, 42, pointed to 'being raised in broken homes with with no example of what being a husband or father is' as contributing to the demise of his second marriage. 

'Black families and marriages are under attack,' Tyrese wrote. 'I've wrestled with this question. How can we naturally know how to BE something we never raised by?'

Writing alongside a video montage of family memories with Samantha and their daughter Soraya, two, the singer turned actor continued: 

'Most of us were raised in broken homes with NO examples of what being a husband, wife or FATHER is.

'I repeat. How can we naturally know how to BE something we were never raised by? I pray we leave the door open because the God that we serve is a mountains mover and can make a way out of now way.'

Tyrese said in a separate statement that he and Samantha, who he met in 2015, will 'remain the best of friends and strong co-parents.'

'We feel incredibly blessed to have found each other and deeply grateful for the [nearly] four years we have been married to each other. Our journey together has been a ride of both ups and downs, but it's a journey that neither of us would have chosen to take with anyone else.'  

Tyrese and Samantha added: 'As if 2020 hasn't already been extremely grueling and challenging to us all, we wanted to mutually speak on this now to keep this energy in 2020 and not take this energy into 2021.'

The LA-born, Atlanta-based 41-year-old and the New Jersey-born social worker are now ironing out the custody details for their two-year-old daughter Soraya Rayas.

The Fast & Furious star and Samantha, who holds a Master's degree in social work, secretly tied the knot on Valentine's Day 2017.

Samantha uses her degree to help fight sex and human trafficking, as well as campaigning to provide counselling for inmates, according to TMZ.

She has also reportedly handled cases for the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) in Georgia. 

Sources close to the pair said at the time of their nuptials that they met after Tyrese posted an open letter to his 'wife of the future' in 2015, and were put in touch through mutual friends.
