The past season of Love and Hip Hollywood was filled with ratchetness, but as far as singer, Keyshia Cole, and her ex-husband/retired NBA’er, Daniel “Boobie” Gibson, it was a seemingly smooth ride toward forgiveness and moving on. That’s exactly where the former lovebirds are in their relationship.
We’ve watched Boobie attempt to form a “platonic” bond with singer, Brooke Valentine, on the show. We’ve also watched Boobie and Keyshia live together, but separate lives, as they co-parent their lil man, Daniel Jr.
Then came the divorce reports, that Gibson was demanding alimony from Keyshia, among other things, which he later tried to clear up on Instagram.
Daniel “Boobie” Gibson Explains Why He Contemplated Suicide
Before all of the aforementioned situations, Boobie revealed that their marriage ultimately ended because Keyshia left him after he cheated on her. It was her saying ‘peace out’ to their marriage, that ultimately had him in a state of severe depression and contemplating suicide. He detailed exactly why that was and what else he was going through at that time, which added even further salt to his wounds. Check out what he revealed to Uproxx:
…It was Gibson’s injuries, to go along with his divorce and the death of his grandmother (whom he lived with) that put him in a mental state unlike anything he’d ever been through.
“I was just hit with a flurry of events,” Gibson says. “Mentally, It just took away my ability to workout. I was suffering from depression and anxiety. Honestly, basketball was my sanctuary, but I couldn’t even do that. […] I really got to the point where being alive wasn’t something I wanted anymore.”
Boobie also told NecoleBitchie this a while back:
“I’ve learned through the depression I went through after losing Keyshia and I felt like [I lost] my son too in the sense that I couldn’t be with him every day. That whole thing took me into a deep depression, and in that depression I kind of found out a lot of things about myself.”
Keyshia’s Prior Response To His Depression
Keyshia, on the other hand, wasn’t really too sympathetic about his depression:
Via Bossip: “As far as his depression is concerned, I think as a friend, he has to understand, as well, that things that bring you to that point of being depressed or losing something that matters to you more than anything, you can’t repeat the same thing that got you there in the first place,” Keyshia told the “106 & Park” audience.

Hate to see them officially end their marriage, but at least they’re working hard to maintain their friendship for now.
