Tyrese, an actor and musician, and Samantha Lee Gibson, his ex-wife, had a courtroom battle that ended Tuesday, August 29, with the judge ordering Tyrese to pay $10,690/month in child support.
Remember how the Soraya-sharing pair, who are divorcing, wed on Valentine’s Day in 2017 after first meeting in 2015?
In September 2020, Samantha filed for divorce from the six-time Grammy nominee, alleging that Tyrese had shut her out of the home. He has consistently refuted the charge.
The $10k/month payment dates back to when Samantha first filed for divorce in September 2020, according to the judge’s ruling on the case on Tuesday, August 30. This implies that he owes his ex a lump amount of $209k.

The judge said that Tyrese should be pleased if his ex moves into a finer property since it means a better standard of living for his daughter. The judge also warned Samantha and Tyrese not to disparage each other in front of Soraya.
The judge reduced the lump sum to $169k when Tyrese admitted he had been covering Samantha’s auto payments for two years.
In addition to the court’s decision that neither spouse will pay spousal support, Tyrese received his Range Rover, while Samantha received her Land Rover. Samantha’s petition for a divorce was also approved by the judge, so they are both now free.
