American comedian Gary Owen has said that he is distant from his family. The 48-year-old singer said on The Breakfast Club podcast on August 23 that his divorce from Kenya Duke had prevented him from speaking to his kids for a year.

“I finished everything. Since my daughter attends A&T, I traveled to Greensborough to knock on her door. I made an effort to find her at the airport. Social media have blocked me. I’ve used every method I can think of to get in touch with my daughter. I’m obstructed when I try to reach out.
Additionally, Owen claimed that rather than their parents, his kids found out about his divorce from news outlets and social media:
After a year, Owen has decided to speak out about the incident so that his kids may hear his side of the story. On the podcast, he said:
“I was constantly being asked to give my explanation of the situation. And, to be honest, my kids have to work harder to hear it.
In 2011, Gary Owen’s spouse
In 2003, Kenya Duke and Gary Owen got married. Their three children are named Austin, Kennedy, and Emilio. Their oldest kid, Emilio, is Duke and Emilio Toliver Senior’s biological son. Kennedy and Austin, who are two years apart in age at 21 and 20, are Owen and Duke’s biological children.
After 18 years of marriage and due to irreconcilable differences, Duke filed for divorce in March 2021 in the Los Angeles County Superior Court in California.
In June of that year, People Magazine reported that Duke had left her “promising career as an account manager” for the comedian and had asked Owen for $44,000 per month in spousal maintenance.
As our current arrangement has lasted for almost four years, “I am demanding that Gary be directed to continue paying the monthly installments of $44,000,” as well as an $88,000 lump sum payment for the past two months he has failed to provide me with money.
On the other hand, the entrepreneur and podcaster didn’t hesitate to reveal her nuptials on social media. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Duke charged Gary Owen with having extramarital affairs throughout their marriage and concealing money from the family. Kenya Duke paid the mortgage, according to Hot New Whip Whop, and tagged the comedian in a lengthy post in which she pleaded with him to “stop lying about paying the mortgage.”
The squatters you’re referring to don’t reside in this area. There is only one issue: a dishonest narcissist who used to reside here but left. I’m over here taking care of myself. We won’t bother you pointlessly. You take it too far. You are the father who, at the age of 48, you scathingly criticize stage for how horrible he was to you while he was in his twenties.
Additionally speaking out against Kenya’s accusations was Gary Owen, who made an appearance on the Wendy Williams Show in June 2021. There appears to be a “big twist” in his divorce from Duke, he continued, adding that his attorney had asked him to refrain from speaking at this time.
It’s a big one, but I can’t say anything about it right now. It completely changed how the divorce looked.

Gary Owen refuted media reports that he has not seen his children, saying that they are all adults and that it is “extremely unusual” to go more than a few months without seeing them. He explained the circumstance by saying:
“My daughter was in college when the news first came out.” She is working and staying in Kenya. I have left. We are conversing and texting.
Gary Owen also clarified that he is not a “deadbeat parent,” as Kenya Duke called him following her adultery charge against him.
