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."

61. She is not the sexiest Asian woman that I have seen. I think that Kimora
Lee looks hotter and she is goal oriented. Brady's wife was just a mail ordered bride because she was broke and luxury instead of love.

62. I didn't know him until he hosted a tv show a few months ago & I like him. Plus he's easy on the eyes. I will ignore the racist comment. Nothing I say will make a difference to these people.

66. I never knew you could get American mail order brides. I always thought Asians, Russians, and Latinas were mail order. I never knew American women like Mandie, who obviously looks American, were into the game too.

68. I'm confused. Some say she's Asian. One said she's Asian and white. So what is it? If she' s Asian and White then the person who called her white is right too.

69. I was so glad to see the comment about Wayne Brad being GAY (homosexual). I am a fan of "Whose line is it anyway," but I always wondered about his sexuality. Not that it's any of my busines but the guy just appeared to be on the downlow, to me? Why do these confused men marry women, knowing that they have this secret persuasion for MEN? Hey, I ain't hating, I just think it's sad for the spouse and the kid(s). BE WHO YOU IS!!!! Mr. Brady!!!!

If I am wrong, I apologize but I bet you'll soon find out that the brotha is GAY! Just my opinion!

70. Response for #59, this IS is 2nd Marriage. #1 Had it correct...DILO is the nickname of his 1st wife. She's a HOT former Professional Dancer. She divorced him while they were both performing in Hawaii. Mandie was the "final straw" when he cheated with her. Mandie, FYI, is Not a lawyer, she just did the filing on this divorce...just like DILO did. Smart chicks. But, what goes around...Live well.
