Tyrese Gibson’s ex-wife, Samantha Lee, has broken her silence about their tumultuous divorce, which has been a topic of public discussion.
The influencer, known for sharing her single life on YouTube, recently appeared on the “Hardly Initiated” podcast, where she openly discussed her marriage to the “Sweet Lady” singer. Lee revealed that people in her life during their marriage may have influenced her decision to divorce, stating, “The truth about the matter is that if I had different people in my ear at that time, I would not have made that decision, no. And that’s the truth.”
This admission came as a surprise to many, as Tyrese had previously expressed his astonishment at Lee’s decision to leave him. He had stated that he never received a clear explanation for the divorce.
Lee acknowledged that she tends to overthink things and may have focused too much on what she perceived as shortcomings in her partner at the time, rather than appreciating Tyrese’s great qualities. She also mentioned that her friends seemed to emphasize these shortcomings.
Lee and Tyrese got married on Valentine’s Day in 2017 and share a daughter named Soraya, born in 2018. However, in September 2020, Lee filed for divorce after being together for five years. Tyrese had publicly expressed his desire to avoid separation. Lee’s explanation may offer Tyrese some answers and a sense of closure. The divorce has not been finalized, and Tyrese has since moved on with a new girlfriend, Zelie Timothy.
