Wayne Brady is a well-known comedian, actor, host, and TV personality. He is best known as a regular cast for the improvisational comedy series “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and the host of the talk show “The Wayne Brady Show.” His record of 16 Emmy Award nominations with three wins is more than enough to respect his works.<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

Married Twice, Failed Twice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wayne Brady has had many ups in his career. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for his marriages. The actor was first married to a Columbian singer, Diana Lasso. The duo tied the knot when Wayne was starting as an improv artist. After exchanging vows on December 31\u00a01993, the two hardly stayed together for two years as they divorced on September 21\u00a01995.<\/p>\n

Following his divorce, the actor found love in the arms of his longtime friend, Mandie Taketa. The pair had met in a show in which Wayne was performing. Nonetheless, after dating for three years, they tied the knot on April 3\u00a01999.<\/p>\n

Brady and his second-wife, Taketa, welcomed a daughter, Maile Masako Brady, in 2003. However, their marriage only lasted for a few years as the pair separated in 2006 and divorced in 2008. They ended their marriage on good terms as Wayne’s ex-wife helped him with his depression, and they also isolated together with their daughter and Taketa’s boyfriend, Jason.<\/p>\n

For now, Brady appears to be single. Hopefully, his love life will flourish next time for long years.<\/p>\n
