Back in November of last year, Lena Waithe revealed that she and Alana Mayo secretly tied the knot after dating for three years. However, it looks like their marriage was short-lived, and now they are speaking out about their split.
In a statement released to People, the now-former couple said, “After careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways. We have nothing but support for one another and ask that you respect our privacy during this time.”
As we previously reported, during an appearance on “The Ellen Show,” Lena revealed that they secretly got married. At the time she said, “We just snuck and did it. You know, we didn’t make any announcements. It was her idea like all good things are. She was just driving and she saw the courthouse and said ‘We should get married there.’ And I said, ‘Cool. I’m down.”
Lena proposed to Alana on Thanksgiving Day back in 2017 while they were taking a vacation.
When Lena revealed the news of their marriage, she also said, “It was a humbling day, you know, to marry someone so amazing, but also to really appreciate all the work that so many people have put in for us to be able to do that. Everybody should be able to do that.”
Lena nor Alana have spoken out about why they have decided to part ways, nonetheless, it has been rumored that infidelity may have been the reason. Love B Scott exclusively reported about the alleged infidelity.
