For a new episode of ‘The Comedy Hype News Show’; Pierre, & Yamaneika share their reactions to Marques Houston explaining why he married his wife who was 19 years of age.
The recent marriage has sparked several people to speak out against it and Houston has now shared his response.
Speaking about their relationship on an upcoming episode of TVOne’s Uncensored, Marques explained that he first met Miya when she was 17, but he said they only developed a romantic “connection” after she turned 18.
MET HIS WIFE WHEN SHE WAS 17
“Me and my wife’s situation is a little different,” he said. “How we met through mutual friends and everything like that. When I met my wife, she was 17. So, we had no [real] conversation…no [real] connection until…you know…she was of age.”
Marques previously revealed that he met Miya through the daughter of his former manager, Chris Stokes.
“People don’t understand it and I got a lot of backlash for marrying someone that was 19,” he continued. “And you know, when we did finally start to talk, I was like, ‘This woman is like me’ and she was just…when I would talk to her, she’d just. … For one…we had a spiritual connection and I feel like that’s the most important thing. We both love God. We both love Jehovah and that was key.”
