Wayne Brady, the comedian, recently shared some surprising news with viewers on his reality show, “Wayne Brady: The Family Remix.” He revealed that he welcomed a baby boy named Val six months ago. This news came as a shock to him, as he never expected to become a father again at the age of 51. Co-parenting with his ex-girlfriend Tina, with whom he had an on and off relationship during the pandemic, has presented some challenges for Brady.
His ex-wife, Mandie Taketa, and their daughter Maile, also had mixed feelings about the situation. Taketa mentioned that she and Tina do not have a good relationship, and the timeline of Tina’s pregnancy raised some eyebrows. Maile, who is Brady’s daughter from his previous marriage, was initially hesitant about welcoming a new sibling and had concerns about her father’s well-being.
Despite the complexities of their situation, Brady and Taketa have maintained a close friendship since their divorce in 2007. They even spent time together during the COVID-19 pandemic. Taketa has since moved on with Jason Michael Fordham and welcomed a son named Sundance in 2021. The family dynamics may be unconventional, but they are working towards co-parenting and supporting each other through this new chapter in their lives.
