Actress and podcast host Raven-Symoné recently opened up about an unexpected twist from a past relationship during her appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live.
The That’s So Raven star, now 39, shared that her former boyfriend not only cheated on her by getting another woman pregnant during their relationship but also made a surprising request. She recalled the moment, saying, “We were together for a really long time, and he got another girl pregnant.” She then added with a mix of disbelief and humor, “The best part of the story is that I was asked to be the child’s godmother.”
While she didn’t name the ex, Raven emphasized there is no lingering resentment. “There’s nothing but love and respect for all that he’s gone through, and his family,” she said. “He still talks about it all the time… dumba**,” she added, laughing.
Since 2020, Raven has been married to Miranda Pearman-Maday, her first public relationship with a woman. On Instagram, she once described their bond as deep and supportive: “Got married to a woman who understands me from trigger to joy, from breakfast to midnight snack, from stage to home.”
Her wife has also been a major influence on Raven’s well-being. Speaking to E! News in 2021, the actress shared that Miranda helped her shed 30 pounds. “She doesn’t want to take me to an early grave, and I want to make sure I am there for her in the best health possible.”
Raven’s ability to reflect on such experiences with humor and growth highlights the evolution of her personal journey.
