What to Know About ‘The Traitors’ Season 4: Premiere Date and More
1st Ex-Wife
Funches became a father when he was 20 years old with the birth of son Malcolm. He hasn’t openly discussed the identity of his eldest child’s mother but previously referred to himself as a single dad and referenced being married before meeting Dawn.
“In very shaky times it’s important to lean into what is solid. You have made my life better everyday since we met. I thought I’d be a single dad forever and I have to thank all the experiences, therapy, and good women who brought me into a space to be ready for the kindest, nerdiest, prettiest and most supportive woman I’ve ever met,” he wrote via Instagram in 2022 as a tribute to now ex-wife Dawn. “You’re a great step mom, my best friend ( sorry @gabedinger), and I hope we watch Sitcoms, travel together, and sit on benches until we’re as old as Sophia and that black man she dated for one episode of the Golden Girls. I love you.”
Ex-Wife Christina Dawn
Funches met Dawn her on a dating app and they got married in 2020 after several years of dating. They called it quits in 2022 and Funches filed a restraining order in early 2024 citing verbal and emotional abuse. The temporary request was granted and the former couple reached a settlement in October 2024.
The deal stated that they will share joint legal and physical custody of their son, which officially settled their divorce.
