As a dedicated fan of Wayne Brady, I can only imagine the whirlwind of emotions he must have experienced when his ex-wife and closest friend, Mandie Taketa, expressed her concerns after his unexpected baby announcement. Brady and I share a deep appreciation for the unpredictability of life and its capacity to surprise us with joyous moments, even during challenging times.
When Wayne Brady’s ex-wife discovered he was going to be a father again, her primary worry was for his emotional wellbeing. Upon learning that Brady was expecting a child from an ex-girlfriend named Tina, Mandie Taketa, his best friend, expressed her concerns right away. In a recent interview, Brady discussed his feelings about starting a new family chapter at age 50, the impact on his personal life, and his past mental health challenges.
Brady has a daughter, named Maile, aged 21 years old, with Taketa. Their reality show, Wayne Brady: The Family Remix, airs on Freeform and Hulu.
Wayne Brady’s ex-wife voiced concerns after his unexpected baby announcement
During an interview with People, Mandie Taketa expressed her primary concern being the mental well-being of Wayne Brady, who was anticipating a child with Tina. She stated, “I felt particularly anxious about Wayne’s mental state given the circumstances.”
A few months after divorcing his friend and ex-wife Taketa, Brady started seeing Tina. This was around the same time as Taketa’s mother passed away, leaving her deeply concerned about how Brady was coping with his recent marital split. Meanwhile, Brady learned that his former girlfriend was pregnant, a revelation he received following the funeral of his own grandmother in the Virgin Islands. Val Henry was the name given to their newborn son.
Taketa shared her joy and affection for the new addition to their family, exclaiming, “The more, the better! Our family is expanding, and I can’t wait!” However, she admitted, “As a Pisces, I have this feeling deep within me. But yes, I did have some worries.”
Wayne Brady reveals he was surprised after the unexpected pregnancy news
During the first episode of Wayne Brady: The Family Remix on Freeform, Tina shocked Brady by announcing she was pregnant. This unexpected news left him in disbelief initially.
According to Brady, the most important thing for him was to bring up his son, Val, with immense love and nurturing. He expressed this sentiment to People magazine, stating, “I don’t ever want Val to think he should be ashamed or look back and feel, ‘My dad didn’t want me,’ or be ashamed of me.” Brady treats Val with the same affection he has always shown Maile, ensuring both children grow up feeling equally loved. He explained further, “I want him, uniquely, to understand that I love him just as much as I love Maile, who is my flesh and blood and a part of me. So I had to put in the effort.”
Wayne Brady: The Family Remix is airing on Freeform and Hulu.
