Wayne Brady Files for Divorce

Posted Jul 3rd 2007 6:59PM by TMZ Staff

Former talk show host Wayne Brady is singing the blues today. TMZ has learned that the "Whose Line is it Anyway?" star's wife, Mandie Taketa Brady, has filed for divorce.

The divorce documents, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, cite irreconcilable differences for the split. Taketa is also requesting join custody of their daughter, 4-year-old Maile Masako Brady.

Papers indicate that the Bradys actually split a year ago, in April '06, but did not officially file for divorce until today. The two were married in 1999.

A rep for Brady told TMZ "After a prolonged period of separation, Wayne Brady and his wife Mandie are divorcing, citing irreconcilable differences. The split is very amicable and they continue to remain the best of friends and committed parents."

25. I just saw Wayne Brady in Vegas last Sunday at the Venition......he was a riot and I loved it. I hope he's hanging in there, I wish him the best and for the family to deal with this quickly. I was just wondering if his family was staying with him in Vegas.

26. 6. Poor guy. A black guy should never marry a white chick, especially if he's successful and has money, and to have a baby with him...oh no...I hope he has a pre-nup.

Are you ignorant or what? She is from Hawaii, which is where he met her. She is caucasian & japanese. They met in 1995...I wonder how much money Wayne had back then? Was she with him for the money in 1995 when no one knew who he was? Was there any promise of making a living as a performer given that so few people actually do? Maybe he married her because he loved her you moron! I am so tired of people that make ignorant racist comments based on their small minded stupidity.
