Actor Tyrese Gibson recently revealed he no longer spends money on real jewelry. The 45-year-old sat down with Power 105’s The Breakfast Club on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, to discuss mental health and being real. When host Charlamagne the God asked the Fast & Furious star if his earring were real, he replied, "No," and added:

"You know why it’s not real? Because I’ve lost so much of this sh*t. I done spent half a million dollars on a f*ucking watch."

He continued:

"I don't lose no sleep over trying to win the popularity contest showing up with all this jewelry that I’ma leave on the nightstand and have a housekeeper that says, 'I don’t know!' I'm sure you don’t know where them f*cking $250k earrings is at!"

Elsewhere in the interview, he unclasped a bracelet he wore, adding that none of the jewelry on his arm was real. Tyrese noted that he bought the bracelet on Amazon for $23.

Tyrese Gibson rose to fame as a R&B artist with his debut single, Nobody Else

Tyrese Darnell Gibson hails from the Watts neighborhood in Los Angeles, where his mother, Priscilla, raised him and his three older siblings as a single parent.

At the insistance of his high school music teacher, Gibson auditioned for a Coca-Cola commercial, appearing in the brand's 1994 ad and singing the phrase, "Always Coca-Cola." This earned him modeling jobs with Guess and Tommy Hilfiger.

Tyrese rose to fame as a R&B artist with his debut single, Nobody Else (1998), released through RCA Records. The track charted at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. The singer's hit songs include Sweet Lady, I Like Them Girls, I Like Them Girls, and Stay. His 2015 album, Black Rose, debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart.

In 2001, Tyrese got an opportunity to star in John Singleton's 2001 film Baby Boy. Since then, the actor-singer has appeared in high-grossing franchises like The Fast and the Furious and Transformers. He has also appeared on TV shows like The Parent 'Hood, Moesha, and American Dad!

The 45-year-old has also written two New York Times bestsellers, How to Get Out of Your Own Way and Manology: Secrets of Your Man's Mind Revealed.

Gibson married Norma Mitchell in 2007, and they share a daughter, Shayla. The pair divorced in 2009. In 2017, Mitchell filed for a temporary restraining order against Gibson, claiming abuse.

Later, they were involved in a custody battle over Shayla, with Norma again accusing Gibson of hitting their child and requesting another restraining order. However, her claims were denied.

Tyrese married Samantha Lee in February 2017 and their daughter was born the following year. The couple separated in December 2020. During their divorce proceedings, Lee requested $20,000 a month in child support, which the actor felt was "unresonably high" (the figure was set to $10,000). In April 2023, he was ordered to pay Samantha $237,000 in back child support and an additional $400,000 to her lawyer.

During his divorce proceeding, Tyrese listed his monthly income at $105,000 but claimed his expenses every month were $107,000. He claimed he had just $900,000 in his bank account and properties worth $1.7 million. He also owed his lawyer around $133,000.

The actor purchased a home in Atlanta, Georgia, for $4 million. In May 2021, he put a property in California up for sale for just under $3.5 million. In January 2022, he lowered the price to $2.9 million.
