Gary Owen Got It Tatted So We Know It’s Real
In a video shared to socials, Gary is seen getting a detailed portrait of his wife, Bri Owen’s, eyes on his arm. Dressed down in a gray tee and black sweatpants, Gary tries to keep his cool but keeps shooting that look at the camera like the pain caught him off guard. Throughout the clip, he lowkey looks like he’s ready for the session to be over. But once it’s done, he takes a moment, looks at the fresh ink, and simply says, “Wow.” He even puts the finished tattoo up to Bri’s face to compare—and yes, the resemblance is spot on!

Social media wasted no time running to The Shade Room’s comment section with mixed reactions to Gary Owen’s new ink. Some people felt his first wife should’ve been the one getting this level of love. While others were too busy wincing at the pain—because whew, that needle looked like it hurt! Meanwhile, plenty of folks were just happy to see Gary in love and showing out for his new boo.

It’s Not Just The Ink People Are Talking About
And, if you were wondering what happened to Gary Owen’s ex-wife and family—whew, it’s been a lot. While folks are reacting to the tattoo of his new wife’s eyes, others are bringing up his past, including the ongoing estrangement from his adult kids. Gary previously opened up about not seeing or speaking to his children in nearly three years since his divorce from Kenya Duke. He’s said he’s tried to reach out, but it hasn’t worked out—and Kenya herself even commented in 2023, claiming he hasn’t respected their boundaries. While some fans are celebrating his new chapter, others in The Shade Room comments are side-eyeing the timing and wondering if the first wife deserved this energy, too.
