Remember actress, Garcelle Beauvais, from The Jamie Foxx Show? Well, years later the Haitian-American mode-turned actress became known as the actress who put her then husband, Mike Nilon, on public blast for cheating on her.

Recap Of Why She Blasted Ex

Many of y’all may recall when Garcelle became the talk of the media in 2010, after she exposed the hell outta her husband, Mike. She sent an email to his Creative Arts Agency co-workers (which was later leaked to the press), informing them that she’d just caught him cheating. Her email subject line read, “Tiger Woods/Jesse James/Mike Nilon,” and her email was even more gritty:

“What do they have in common…I found out today that MY husband of almost 9 yrs has been having an affair for 5 yrs with some slut in Chicago. I am devastated!!!! And I have been duped!! Our boys don’t deserve this!”

Their Twin Sons Then

At that time their twins, Jaid and Jax, were still toddlers and looked like this…

As of today, their twin boys are 10 years old and are growing into cool lil’ men, under the guidance of their co-parenting parents.

Jax and Jaid seem very happy and hopefully Beauvais’ and Nilon’s efforts to peacefully co-parent have allowed their boys to be unaffected by their parents’ past drama.

Garcelle Beauvais also has a 27 year old son, Oliver Saunders, from her prior marriage to producer, Daniel Saunders.

Garcelle’s Regrets About Exposing Husband?

Although Garcelle gave her husband the boot by divorcing him in 2011, by 2015 she confessed on Oprah’s Where Are They Now that she regrets her ‘woman scorned’ outburst:

“When I’d actually looked and realized that it’d been leaked I was sobbing. Sobbing. It’s embarrassing but at the same time you’re in pain. It was another part of the devastation, honestly. I went to therapy. I got a life coach. I did all the things that they say you should do because I didn’t want my adult drama to effect my kids. I couldn’t have moved on and been a good parent and co-parent with him if I didn’t do those things. We’re doing the best we can for those boys. They deserve it.”

About I Love Old School Music

We salute the incredible people and beautiful memories of that "old school". We’re not saying that every artist and every facet of the soul era was perfect, but the artists’ contributions to soul music and the old school memories of that particular time are PRICELESS.
