‘Blackish Creator Kenya Barris Files For Divorce From His Wife For A Second Time

It looks like Kenya Barris has filed for divorce yet again!

According to legal documents, the ‘Blackish‘ creator made his way to the courthouse this month and filed for divorce, ending his 20-year-long marriage to wife Dr. Rania “Rainbow” Barris. In the court documents, Kenya Barris  says he and his wife have been separated since Sept. 9, 2020, and cites irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split.

Oddly enough, Kenya and Rania have been down this road before. Rania previously filed for divorce back in 2014, but withdrew the request a year later after they reconciled. As previously reported, Kenya Barris filed for divorce in 2019, however, in May 2020, he filed a request for dismissal of the divorce.

It was also rumored in 2020 that Kenya Barris was dating actress Tracee Ellis Ross, who stars in his hit ABC sitcom, ‘Blackish.’ Ironically enough, Tracee Ellis Ross plays the character ‘Rainbow Johnson’ that was inspired by the real-life Dr. Rania “Rainbow” Barris. Tracee Ellis Ross and Kenya Barris have never confirmed or denied the dating rumors.

The couple, who tied the knot back in 1999, share six children together including 3 young boys who are 5, 12, and 14-years-old. Kenya is reportedly asking the court for joint physical and legal custody of the kids. He also agreed to pay spousal support for his estranged wife.
