In December 2020, after nearly four years of marriage, Tyrese Gibson and Samantha Lee announced their separation in December 2020. “After much thought, consideration, and prayer, We, unfortunately, have made the difficult decision to officially separate & divorce,” the pair wrote in a joint statement shared on Instagram. “Our intention is to remain the best of friends & strong coparents. We feel incredibly blessed to have found each other and deeply grateful for the 4 years we have been married to each other.”
Despite the announcement, however, Gibson was not ready to let go. A few days after breaking the news of their divorce, Gibson penned a sweet tribute where he called Lee “the love of my life” while also addressing himself as her “forever husband.” One month later, the “Fast & Furious” actor publicly expressed his wish to fix his marriage in a comment under Tammy and Kirk Franklin’s 25th wedding anniversary Instagram post. “Dear Samantha this was supposed to be us…. remember the franklins was our marriage GOALS!!!!!!!!!!!! Smiling smiling……. I’m gonna get her back watch me! [ I think ],” he wrote(via People). In court documents filed that same month, Gibson reiterated his wish for reconciliation, writing in the papers that he still loved Lee and did not want a divorce. The “Sweet Lady” star also revealed, per Extra, that he was willing to go into counseling to make his marriage to Lee work.
