They tied the knot on Valentine's Day in 2017 and share a share a two-year-old daughter, named Soraya together.
Since the announcement, Tyrese has been pushing the narrative that Black families were under attack – from what exactly it is not yet known. But, it seems like the "Fast & Furious" actor has been on a campaign to win his estranged wife back and judging by his social media activity, he is willing to do anything it takes in order to get her attention, even if it means crashing other people's social media posts.

"Happy Happy Happy Anniversary!!!!!! Magic Magic and more magic..... Dear Samantha this was supposed to be us.... remember the franklins was our marriage GOALS!!!!!!!!!!!! Smiling smiling....... I'm gonna get her back watch me! [ I think ]."
