Who Is Terry Crews Married to?
Terry Crews met Rebecca King when he was a college sophomore; she was the music minister at a local church. They married on July 29, 1989. They have four daughters and a son, Isaiah Crews, also an actor, and one grandchild.
Before Terry Crews became known as the host of America’s Got Talent, the oversexed basketball player in White Chicks or even as an NFL player, he met and started dating a music minister called Rebecca King.
Since those early days, the couple have been together for more than 35 years. So just who is Rebecca King-Crews? Here’s what to know.
All About Rebecca King-Crews
Born on Christmas Eve in 1965 in Benton Harbor, Michigan, Rebecca King was the first child of Samuel Dean King and Anna Mae Parks.
Crews met Rebecca King – a music minister whose father was a Black Panther – while he was at university; today, the mother of 5 has a music career and a clothing line whose fans include Avril Lavigne
An advocate for social justice and son of a pastor, Samuel was a member of the Black Panthers before he passed away in 1972, when Rebecca was just six years old.“I never knew my father really; my memories of him are sketchy and faint,” Rebecca shared in an Instagram post dedicated to him in 2021.
Rebecca pursued her passion for music at Western Michigan University, graduating with a degree in music and theatre in 1987. It was during her time as a freshly graduated music minister at a local church that she met Terry, a second-year university student who had just earned a full athletic scholarship to play American football.
Their relationship didn’t immediately turn romantic. “He almost got stuck in the friend zone,” Rebecca told E! News in November 2018. “He was a little too nice.”
How Many Children Do Terry and Rebecca Crews Have?
NFL alum Terry Crews has a large family: four bio kids and one adopted child with his wife, Rebecca King-Crews.
Terry Crews is best known as the host of the America’s Got Talent franchise, but at home, he’s simply “dad” to his five kids: Naomi, Azriél, Tera, Wynfrey and Isaiah.
They Tied the Knot in 1989
After a year of dating, the couple tied the knot in 1989, with Terry adopting Naomi, Rebecca’s daughter from a previous relationship. One year later, they welcomed their first child together, daughter Azriél. They would go on to have three more children: daughter Tera in 1998, daughter Wynfrey in 2003 and son Isaiah in 2005.
