Gary Owen recently made his relationship with fiancée Brianna Johnson official through social media. Notably, the former is a father of two children, Austin and Kennedy, born from his previous marriage to Kenya Duke. Owen welcomed two more kids with Johnson last year.
Notably, Gary and Brianna shared a photo alongside some videos through Instagram on November 11, 2024, starting with a photo where the duo were posing with each other, wearing white outfits. The caption simply stated:
"All white [white heart emoji]."
The photos were seemingly captured at an event and the details are yet to be revealed. Two of the clips included in the post feature Brianna dancing accompanied by many others. Another video towards the end shows fireworks with everyone recording the same on their phones.
A glimpse of Gary Owen and Brianna Johnson's post was also obtained by The Jasmine Brand and netizens took to the comments section of the Instagram post to share their reactions to the same. One of them also wrote:
"Goat got him a whole new family and all smiles ain't nobody got time for that headache."
Similar responses continued below the post, with a user writing that the relationship became official ever since Gary had two children with Brianna. A person jokingly stated that Gary Owen and Brianna Johnson were looking like siblings, with a few others saying that Johnson resembled Kenya.
Owen allegedly cheated on Duke with Johnson when the duo was married, as per The Sun. Brianna is reportedly employed at Memorial Hermann Health as a nurse and she is not active on social media platforms due to which detailed information on her personal and professional life remains unknown. The pair got engaged in February last year.
Gary Owen was previously married to Kenya Duke for around 18 years
The Cincinnati, Ohio native has accumulated a huge fanbase for his work as a comedian over the years. According to Essence, he met his first wife Kenya Duke in Los Angeles during one of Owen's comedy shows. The duo reportedly began speaking to each other on the phone and tied the knot in 2003.
Kenya applied for divorce in March 2021 and the reasons leading to the separation were not revealed at the time. The duo was also spotted together in The Gary Owen Show and the 50-year-old later jokingly addressed his split in an Instagram video where he said:
"I'm sure you guys have heard, I'm going through a very very messy, public divorce. Thought it was going to be private, wife had other plans. It is what it is, what are you gonna do? I ain't the first one to get a divorce."
While speaking to Essence in May last year, Kenya Duke described Gary Owen as her "best friend", adding that she expected the relationship to last forever. Duke mentioned that she was shocked by how the marriage ended and was expecting that she could talk to Owen about it. She further stated:
"When the divorce came out, I pictured us in Starbucks – he loves coffee – and he'd say 'okay, what do you need?' 'How should we go about getting it done?' But that hasn't been the case at all, especially with the money. Most of my heartache wasn't the loss of the marriage – it was what I went through financially."
According to Coming Soon, Kenya currently serves as the CEO of Premier Sports and Corporate Travel Business. She has even hosted several TV shows throughout her career such as Look I'm Smiling.
