Angelica Zachary rose to fame as the wife of a comedian actor Marlon Wayans. They started dating long ago and made their relationship official in 2005. Their marriage seemed to be happy, and they even welcomed two beautiful children – a daughter and a son. But in 2013 Angelica and Marlon ended their marriage.

Now two ex-partners have cordial relationships. Marlon congratulates his ex on each occasion – her birthday or Mother’s Day – and always adds that he loves and respects her.

Angelica Zachary lives out of the limelight. Not much is known about her. She was born on February 26, in New York City. She met Marlon in the early 2000s and that very year they fell in love with each other. The romantic couple tied a knot in 2005, but in 2010 their marriage was over. They started to live separately but kept their decision in silence. In 2013 paparazzi caught Marlon kissing another woman. After that Angelica filed for divorce and confessed that they were not together anymore. Now Marlon and she are friends.

Amai was born in 2000 when her parents hadn’t been married yet. She is daddy’s favorite little girl, and very often she is “a guest” at her father’s Instagram page – Marlon devotes sweet posts to her.

Soon after the celebration of her 19th birthday, she came out as gay. Her father supported her through his Twitter account and one more time reminded that he loved her in any situation.

At the same time, Marlon’s owners didn’t agree with Amai’s decision to admit her gay orientation because of her too young age.

Bio
