Tina Campbell, one half of the celebrated gospel duo Mary Mary, and her husband Teddy Campbell, a renowned drummer for The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno, are officially ending their marriage after 25 years. Court documents reveal that Teddy filed for divorce on April 13, citing irreconcilable differences and listing their separation date as June 2024.
The filing, submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court, details that Teddy has requested child visitation rights for their two minor children, a 13-year-old daughter and a 16-year-old son. The couple also shares three adult children. Notably, the documents indicate that spousal support discussions are deferred for future determination, and the pair reportedly have no joint assets or debts to divide. A representative for Tina has not yet responded to requests for comment.
This legal step follows a tumultuous period in their relationship over a decade ago, when Teddy publicly admitted to an affair in 2013. The couple reconciled a year later, but Tina has spoken candidly about the profound emotional impact of that betrayal.
"It broke my heart," Tina said during a 2015 joint interview on Steve Harvey. "It devastated me and I spazzed out. I destroyed three cars, I cut up and crashed up and tried to stab and plotted murders and all kind of crazy stuff because I was angry, and I started doing all of that."
She added, "I said I'm practicing dying every day. Either I'm going to die wrong or live right, and so we've been working on living right."
In a 2017 video on their joint YouTube channel, Teddy reflected on the mutual forgiveness required to navigate that chapter, acknowledging his own infidelity and Tina's subsequent rage.
"My wife had to forgive me for infidelity," he stated. "When my wife was going through her anger and her frustration and her disappointment and all the hurt, she lashed out at me. To keep it 100, my wife was trying to kill me. Ultimately, I had to even forgive that. I know what I did was wrong... But I had to make the choice in my heart to forgive my wife for responding the way that she did."
The couple, who married in August 2000, were long considered a pillar in the gospel and entertainment communities. Their separation marks the end of a prominent, though deeply tested, quarter-century union.
