ILOSM family remember actress Golden Brooks,who played “Maya” of the hit early 2000’s sitcom, Girlfriends? Her role was as the sassy friend to the characters played by Tracee Ellis Ross (Diane’s daughter), Jill Marie Jones, and Persia White.
On the show, “Maya” was a married housewife and author, but in real life, Golden was dating a known actor at the time. Although the two are no longer together, they did produced what they are most proud of and treasure with all their hearts- their precious, now 8 year old daughter.
So who’s her baby daddy, you ask? He’s none other than actor, D.B. Woodside. Remember him? Most of us, Old Schoolers, first became familiar with D.B. when he portrayed Temptations base singer, Melvin Franklin, in the classic Temptations biopic miniseries.
Ever since then, we’ve seen D.B. do his thing in many TV shows and films, including the VH1 series, Single Ladies; the Fox drama series, 24, and he’s currently starring on the Fox hit series, Lucifer.
Well little did many of D.B.’s and Golden’s fans know, they were a couple back in the day, but kept their relationship on the low and out of the public’s eye for the most part.

These days D.B. is still heavily in the acting game. Golden Brooks seems to have taken a breather from the industry for a while, but now, she’s back,having recently finished filming a project with Swirl Films. When their not acting, it’s clear to see that both Golden and D.B. are all about their little princess, Dakota. Golden once shared a few pics from their daughter’s very first fashion design pop up shop. That’s right, their little mini-me is a fashionista in the making. And she and her moms also love Mary J. Blige songs…so cute…
