Terrence Howard has been married and divorced several times in his life.
Although the actor has never discussed other people’s scandals, he has had enough controversies to last a lifetime.
People can laugh or wince through “Terryology” or his outlandish statements. More personal controversies, about relationships, are more serious.
Let’s see the ups and downs of the marriage history.
How many times has Terrence Howard been married?
Terrence Howard, who was born in 1969 and has starred Iron man, Law & Order: LAand Empirehas been married four times.
The four marriages involved three women. If he marries five times, the number of wives he has had may not change. (We will explain)
Terrence has five children. Three of them, two girls and a boy, with his first wife, Lori McCommas.
In 1993, Terrence Howard married Lori McCommas, his first wife. But the relationship is more complicated than that.
The two eventually divorced in 2001 (filed in 2000) … but reconciled, remarrying in 2005.
Obviously, the second marriage also did not last. They filed for divorce in 2006, finalizing the divorce in 2007. Surely, they won’t repeat this cycle again.
Then came Terrence Howard’s third marriage, second wife, and third divorce
In 2010, Terrence Howard married Michelle Ghent. This puts him together with a second wife and a third wife, depending on one’s point of view. (That is, this is his third marriage but his second wife)
Unfortunately, this relationship is where it takes a dark turn.
In 2011, Michelle Ghent filed a restraining order against Howard.
Ghent accuses him of domestic violence. They finalized their divorce in 2013, a year and a half after she filed for a protective order.
According to Michelle Ghent’s account in court, Terrence Howard caused physical injuries that required medical attention.
She also told the court that her then-husband stalked her over the phone and online, and had once broken the computer in half.
Michelle Ghent is not the first wife to accuse Terrence Howard of domestic violence
Shockingly, the allegations corroborate a report that came out in 2009. The Smoking Gun reported the arrest of Terrence Howard in 2001 on multiple charges for the violent assault of Lori McCommas.
He allegedly broke down the door of her home, chased her into the backyard, and punched her until her own sister intervened. Howard eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disturbing the peace.
In a 2015 interview with The stone is rollingTerrence Howard admitted to hitting his first wife in 2001. “He spoke to me real strong, and I lost my heart and slapped him in front of the children,” he said, confessing to domestic violence but characterizing the attack differently than the former had.
In late 2013, Terrence Howard married his third wife, Mira Pak. The two have two sons, who were welcomed in 2015 and in 2016.
Howard and Pak quietly divorced in 2015. However, three years later, in 2018, he proposed again.
Although there is no public indication that he is remarried, he has often “added one” with her to events. Given the history of keeping certain relationship details under wraps, it is possible that they may remarry or separate without immediately making public news.
