As new details about Kendu Isaacs’ divorce from singer Mary J. Blige emerge, fans and family friends – including the former’s children from a previous relationship – have effectively taken sides.
With potentially millions of dollars on the line, this divorce has all the makings of an ugly one. Is the separation having an effect on the net worth of either of the former married couple?
Explore Kendu’s biography to find more about him, including his connection with his daughter and first wife and his birthday!
The Reasons for Kendu Isaacs and Ex-Divorce: Wife’s Causes and Effects on Net Worth
To summarize, Kendu’s divorce from the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is entirely his fault!
The music producer was rumored to have been cheating on his then-wife Mary for years, first with his secretary and then with Mary’s protege Starshell. When the Family Affair singer discovered his unfaithful methods, she ended their relationship.
Kendu and Mary divorced after more than 14 years of marriage. At the time of the divorce filing, the latter sought to have the court’s ability to grant spousal support terminated.
However, the verdict supported Kendu, ordering Mary to pay him $30 thousand in temporary spousal support and $135 thousand in retroactive salary beginning in June 2017. Nearly nine months later, the former lovers reached an out-of-court settlement.
However, Kendu and his former spouse’s divorce was not formalized until June 2018. Both sides have chosen to keep the details of the settlement under wraps.
Given Mary’s enormous net worth – estimated to be approximately $20 million – and the fact that they were married for over a decade, Kendu – who celebrates his birthday on August 14th each year – is sure to have amassed millions.
According to Kendu’s bio, he and his former muse met around the turn of the century and developed a manager-client relationship before marrying in December 2018. However, the one-time couple’s marriage resulted in no children.
Relationship With Children: Is His First Wife’s Daughter Brianna Taking Sides?
Despite never having their own children, Kendu, 50, and Mary had a fruitful yet turbulent connection with the former’s children – Jordan, Nas, and Brianna – from his previous marriage to his first wife.
Interestingly, Kendu was still married to his first wife at the time the ex-married couple reunited. As a result, Brianna may have felt anger toward her father’s second marriage, Mary.
Brianna would run away from home at the age of 15, acquire a cocaine habit, and then blame him and his then-wife for not lending a hand. And, despite overwhelming evidence, she cast doubt on her stepmother’s loyalty.
Brianna, on the other hand, has recently chosen to tone down her vitriol, to the point of professing sadness over the divorce.’
