Before becoming engaged, the couple dated for four years after meeting while still a college student at Eastern Michigan University. After being married in June 1985, the ex-couple had four kids: Jade, 39; Greg Jr., 35; Camara, 36; and Amir, 34.
The TV judge has shown gratitude to his family and ex-wife in recent years for all of their efforts that helped him succeed.
“Having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is undoubtedly my greatest career accomplishment. However, I must admit that my family was the real cornerstone of my career, he stated at his 2022 Hollywood Walk of Fame induction. “After I got off the streets of Detroit, Linda let me work five or six days a week for fifteen hours a day. Therefore, I was able to pursue the achievement you see because of that backing.
“Our support and affection are profound. The Mathis family operates in this manner, Linda continued.
