The divorce filing indicated that Tina and Teddy had been married for more than 25 years, as he listed their wedding date as August 12, 2000.

According to Teddy, he and his estranged wife have been separated for almost two years, as he dated their split back to June 2024.

He also indicated that the estranged couple shares two minor children: 13-year-old Santana and 16-year-old Glendon Theodore II.

In a supporting document, Campbell’s estranged husband didn’t check a box indicating custody arrangements would need to be determined for the children, though he did fill out the rest of their information.

He also requested that the court set up visitation for the children.

As for spousal support, Teddy indicated on his documents that any arrangement with his wife should be determined at a later date.

He also seemed to suggest a relatively harmonious split, as he indicated on his forms that there was no property that would need to be divided by the court between the exes.

According to Teddy, he and his estranged wife have been separated since June 2024. He indicated they have two minor children, but didn't check a box for the court to determine custody arrangements; seen together in 2019 in Atlanta

It’s unclear to what extent the Campbells may have worked out details of their divorce behind the scenes in advance of Teddy’s filing. 

Tina has been a member of the popular gospel duo Mary Mary since 1988, with her older sister Erica Campbell.

Tina made her solo debut in 2014 and went on to release her debut solo LP, It’s Personal, the following year. 

The album topped Billboard’s US Gospel chart and reached number 10 on its US Indie chart, though it only reached number 90 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. 

She followed it with It’s Still Personal in 2017, which failed to chart on the Billboard 200 but was a top-10 performer on the US Gospel Chart. 

Campbell also reportedly has an upcoming album, titled Testify, in the works
