Legendary actor, Laurence Fishburne (56) and his wife/actress, Gina Torres (48), have been like the picture perfect couple for the past 14 years. In fact, they were looking like they were on a path to becoming the next Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis.
Controversial Kissing Photo w/Mystery Man
Unfortunately though, their personal life was exposed after Page Six released photos of Gina and another man kissing in public:
Via PS: We’re told that Torres and her new beau spent over an hour having lunch at the Sweet Butter cafe in Los Angeles. Torres, who wasn’t wearing a wedding ring, was seen holding the man’s face in her hands and kissing him across the table. The man has been identified as Kevin Wright, an entrepreneur and solar energy investor from Utah but now lives in Southern California. Wright was married for 20 years and recently split with his wife
Wife’s New Announcement About Their Marriage
When that news first broke earlier Wednesday (9-19-17), it raised red flags among many of their fans, because up until now most thought their marriage was all good. Turns out they were wrong. Now that the kissing pictures have surfaced, Fishburne’s wife has made an official announcement after 14 years marriage and one child together (L. Fishburne also has two other kids):
Via People: “With heavy hearts, Laurence and I quietly separated and began the dissolution of our marriage in the early fall of last year,” said Torres, 48. “There are no bad guys here. Only a love story with a different ending than either one of us had expected.” She continued, “Happily, however, our family remains intact and we will continue to raise our daughter together with love and joy and awe. As well as raise each other up with respect and love and the continued understanding that we’re in this together, if not side by side.”
Last Time They Were Seen Together
Man, this is unfortunate…it was all good just a year ago.The last time they were seen in public together was in December 2015 and attended public events solo ever since. Although in January 2016, Gina still referred to Fishburne as her husband in an interview. However, by September 2016, Gina told The New York Times she’d left the legal drama TV show, Suits, after six years because “my personal life needed to be tended to.”
Now unfortunately, we know what Gina Torres was referring to. I wonder if we’ll ever see her and Laurence Fishburne work together again though. From 2013 to 2015, they played a married couple in the NBC show, Hannibal. They also starred alongside each other The Matrix Reloaded. Guess, we’ll have to sit back and see about that.
