Miranda Pak is an American model. She, however, emerged into the limelight, not because of her career but rather her personal life.
Yes, for those of you who are into pop culture, Miranda Pak was formerly the wife of actor Terrence Howard. He is notable for his performance in the series Empire among many others.
Miranda, who is known as Mira as well, and Terrence have one of the oddest relationships in all of showbiz. After being in a marital relationship for a few years, they divorced each other but only got back together shortly later.
Now the main question here is, who is this Miranda Pak with whom Terrence keeps coming back? Is she also an actress? and are they back together? Well, let’s find out all the answers!
Who Is Miranda Pak?
Born on June 1st, 1977, in California, Mira is famous as the third wife of academy award-winning actor Terrence Howard. Before meeting Terrence, she led a fairly basic life. Hailing from Korean ancestry, she spent her early youth in California. She is an American by nationality.
Unfortunately, information about her parents and siblings is somewhat obscure due to the fact that she prefers keeping her personal life behind closed doors.
AD \sPak finished her official education in the state of California. Afterward, she attended New York University.
She Was An Aspiring Model And Once Worked In The Entertainment Industry
The very hot Miranda was previously one of the most promising models around. Around the time when she met Terrence, she was working as a model. She began her modeling career about the time she arrived in New York.
In her short-lived career, she modeled for various companies including Vanity Magazine. In addition to her modeling duties, she also worked in the entertainment sector. She produced two productions, Terrence Howard’s Fright Club and Nevermore.
Miranda Pak Is A Restaurant Owner
Well, talk about being multi-talented. In addition to her trying her hands at modeling and showbiz, she is also a businessperson. Terrence Howard’s partner Mira is the owner of the Shabu Shabu Bar in Santa Ana, California.
Back in 2013, when news of her marriage with Terrence got out, her restaurant personnel started speaking out about her personality. Many of them felt Pak was generally unpredictable. In an interview with DailyMail Online, one of the workers remarked, “Mira does as she pleases, we never know when we’re going to see her.”
Interestingly enough, not a single one of the crew knew that Mira was dating the Oscar-nominated actor up until they announced their wedding.
