We guess Marques Houston subscribes to the outdated philosophy that the very best protection is an effective offense. As a result of what he simply mentioned in protection of his controversial relationship? It’s fairly damned offensive!
For individuals who don’t know, the Sister, Sister star drew a ton of controversy a pair years again when he revealed he was getting married to a 19-year-old. The previous little one star was 38 on the time, actually twice Miya Dickey‘s age — however even ickier to many was the actual fact they’d already been collectively for a 12 months. They went public with their relationship simply THREE WEEKS after she turned 18. He was 37. Yowza.

So at the easiest, they met just like the precise second Miya turned 18 and fell in love instantly, going IG official in simply days. At finest that’s what occurred. There was fairly a little bit of speak on the time that it was worse than all that. In response to an investigation by MTO Information, across the time of the engagement announcement, somebody named “Miyana Dickey” had been lacking since she was 15 — and a “Miyana Dickey” had been listed on at the very least one in every of Marques’ tasks on IMDB earlier than 2018. That itemizing has since been erased. Marques claimed on the time that was an error, probably an intentional one, writing on social media:
“I met Miya in 2018 by means of a mutual good friend. By no means earlier than then, did I even know she existed. The truth that she was listed on one in every of our movies was a misprint or somebody being messy. Anybody can put up on IMDB … Miya and I didn’t begin courting till she was an grownup.”
Messy stuff. However transferring on to the current…
There doesn’t appear to be any concrete proof Miya is “Miyana,” nor that Marques and Miya had been collectively earlier than she turned 18 — however they’ve been collectively ever since. They even welcomed a toddler collectively in 2021. Now the R&B singer is 41, and his spouse is 22 — so he isn’t even twice her age anymore! However he nonetheless finds the necessity to defend their union apparently.
Chatting with Web page Six on Tuesday, he did so by placing the blame on ladies his personal age. He mentioned they have an inclination to have an excessive amount of “baggage.” He additionally mentioned, unbelievably:
“A crimson flag to me [was] at all times with a girl that had a child. Nothing in opposition to single ladies, however single moms with youngsters are a crimson flag for me.”
Wow. Wow wow wow.
The way you assume these ladies turn out to be single moms, Marques? An excellent many get used and excused by guys who would moderately hook up with youthful ladies!
Marques tried so as to add one thing constructive — however in the end simply confirmed off the place the toxicity got here from. He mentioned:
“I tip my hat and respect ladies which are elevating youngsters on their very own. However after I grew up, I by no means actually wished to have youngsters. I’d speak to my dad rather a lot, and he would at all times inform me to have your individual youngsters since you by no means know what the child daddys are about. So when you’re gonna have youngsters, be certain that it’s with a girl that by no means had youngsters. In order that was at all times my crimson flag… and a girl with an angle. I don’t like ladies with funky attitudes.”
One thing tells us Marques comes throughout loads of “funky attitudes” amongst individuals he offends. Simply sayin.’

On his marriage, the actor defined why he nonetheless believes he made the appropriate alternative — and never simply due to real love, he really thinks he was being protected right here:
“I’m 41, she is 22. I may’ve married a 44-year-old lady, and it may’ve been disastrous. Ladies which are my age… they type of have a distinct outlook on life. Like loads of ladies my age are very unbiased. They’re very like, ‘I don’t want a person to do that for me ’trigger I can do it for myself.’ I come from a era that I like to supply for my spouse.”
LOLz, sure, he actually comes from a distinct era from his spouse. The identical one as her dad, most definitely… He lastly received romantic — or his model anyway, saying:
“There’s loads of ladies my age I’ve dated, they could have baggage. They could have youngsters, they could not. There’s so many alternative ladies I’ve been with all through my life, and it simply so occurs to be that this one caught my coronary heart. Every little thing that I prayed for — and every thing that I wished in a girl — she got here with. Though she was younger, I’m younger in spirit.”
Proper, every thing he was praying for — which, if we’re studying appropriately right here, is no baggage, no youngsters, no angle, no unbiased spirit.
Frankly, if we had been Marques’ spouse, we’d take all of this as a giant ol’ crimson flag. In spite of everything, yesterday’s teenagers and right this moment’s 23-year-olds are tomorrow’s 40-year-old single mothers. You recognize, when their males transfer on to the youthful mannequin…
What do YOU consider all this, Perezcious readers??
