Gospel music icon Tina Campbell is taking charge of her future. The Mary Mary star just filed for primary custody of her two minor children as her 24-year marriage to Teddy Campbell heads toward divorce. She’s keeping things real—no attempts to cut him out completely, just requesting visitation rights for the father of her kids.
Court documents show Tina’s asking for both legal and physical custody while also requesting that neither spouse receive spousal support. She and Teddy have no property or debts to divide, making this transition smoother in some ways. You can find more on Gospel music and its cultural impact across platforms.
Teddy filed first back in April, citing “irreconcilable differences” in Los Angeles County. He didn’t make specific custody requests in his original petition, so Tina’s response is setting the tone for how they’ll co-parent moving forward. The separation date? August 8, 2024.
The couple tied the knot in August 2000 and had five children together. Tina and her sister Erica became household names in the late 1990s as Mary Mary, building a legacy that went beyond music into reality television stardom. Their journey has inspired conversations about faith, family, and resilience in Black excellence across entertainment.
This custody filing shows Tina’s prioritizing stability for her kids while maintaining her dignity through the process. Real talk—that’s the kind of parenting energy we love to see.
