How Many Times Has Terrence Howard Been Married?
Actor Terrence Howard has been making headlines since his explosive interview on Patrick Bed-David’s PBD Podcast in which he claimed that disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs tried to have sexual relations during a meeting for acting lessons several years back.
During his appearance on the podcast, Howard talked about the darker side of the entertainment business and relationships.
Here’s more on the Empire alum‘s own relationships including how many times he’s been married and how many children he has.
Howard was married to his first wife twice
Howard has been married four times and twice to the same woman.
That woman is Lori McCommas. She and the Iron Man star married in 1989 and had three children: daughters Aubrey and Heaven, and a son Hunter.
In 2001, Howard was arrested on charges of simple assault, terroristic threats, harassment, and stalking against McCommas. They divorced that same year, and he eventually pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. However, they ended up reconciling and remarried in 2005. But in 2007, they divorced for the second and final time.
Howard’s second wife made accusations similar to McCommas’
Howard’s second wife is Michelle Ghent.
They tied the knot in 2010. One year later, she filed for a restraining order against Howard and also accused him of domestic abuse.
The New York Daily News noted that in her divorce petition, she alleged that the Howard “slugged” her in the face and made repeated threats against her life.
Their divorce was finalized in 2013. They did not have any children together.
Howard divorced his third wife before they got engaged again
After his marriage with Ghent ended, Howard and Miranda “Mira” Pak said “I do.”
Pak attended New York University before becoming a model. However, she decided to leave her modeling career behind and got into the restaurant business. Today, she is the owner of Shabu Shabu Bar, an eatery in Santa Ana, California.
In 2015, Pak filed for divorce. She cited “irreconcilable differences” in court documents and revealed that the couple had been separated since August 2014. After divorcing, they reconciled and welcomed two sons, Qirin and Hero, making the actor a father of five.
In 2018, Howard proposed to Pak again and announced their engagement via Instagram. The photos show Pak’s ring and her crying tears of joy.
There is also a video included at the end of the image carousel in which Howard says: “We have an idea of how long we think life is, but we do know how short it can be. It took me 45 years to find you. But now that I have you in my 50th year, I will spend the rest of eternity at your side. And I pray that everybody finds that one that will complete them for all eternity because it means everything. I love you.”
