Duane Martin Comes Out: Ends Eleven-Year Marriage With Tisha Campbell

Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell thought their love was a match made in heaven. By Hollywood’s standards, it was. Married August 17, 1996, the couple transcended the norm for celebrity marriages, most lasting on average about three years. But not theirs. Their nuptials are coming to an end.

The 37-year-old Martin announced to his wife a love affair with another male actor. This news devastated Tisha, 38. “It was the biggest shock of my life,” Campbell says. “I’ve heard women say they didn’t know their man was gay or bi and I wondered how they didn’t know. But I really didn’t have a clue.” Tisha expressed outrage but she was no saint either. She also had previously acknowledged engaging in an alternative lifestyle during their marriage. The couple has a six year old son, Zen.

I'd love if Eddie Murphy were to figure into this.

Will and Jada are executive producers on Martin's show All of Us. And there have been plenty of rumors about their "open" sexual relationship(s).

Will Smith ain't gay!

If he was he would have hooked up with Carlton.
