Baby Mama Files For Divorce After Twelve Years of Marriage

Mike crossed paths with Mechelle McCain, an actress and producer, while they were both working on The Fighting Temptations in 2003. After some time, the partners made the decision to call one another, and they were later married in 2006.

When Madison and Moriah, the couple’s two daughters, became parents, their happiness lasted for almost twelve years. When their relationship started to fall apart, the couple did not seem to work things out for every thick and slim person.

In 2011, the Indianapolis native filed for divorce. After a year of processing, fleeing, and returning to court, he ended the 12 years of marriage in an extremely wealthy settlement.

According to their agreement, Mike would be providing his ex-wife with spousal support for a total of $25,000 per month up until the point where she made the decision to start another marriage.

The “Next Friday” star will also give his infant mother $15,000 per month for daycare and private schooling in addition to his two dollars.

Mike was legally sabotaged financially for wanting to split his net worth with his ex-wife through successful movies like The Grand, The Hangover, and many others.

The comedy guru did not give his ex-wife the full support amount because it was against the law. The mother of the child in Bossip reported the following incident:

Mike is trying to get me to settle down by taking away his support. He always paid our bills until recently. He is currently restricting my access to my bank accounts and credit cards in an effort to get me to makeup.

Additionally, Mike has two McCain daughters from a previous relationship, Bria and Makayla. The mother of his two daughters has remained a mystery up until now.

Rekindled love and a committed new girlfriend!

Mike recently posted on Instagram about his fiancee and her relationship with Mike. By updating his fans on their awkward posts, the actor has joyfully bonded with his new love.

However, Mike, a father of four lovely daughters, already has his daughter under control and makes sure to join them in their celebrations. Mike grew up in a family with eight children and a single daughter, so his dream of having a baby child is still very new.

Maybe by the time he gets a new girlfriend at age 48, his wish for a son will soon come true.
