Wayne Brady Announces Birth of Surprise Son With Ex-Girlfriend Tina

The star told People that he “was shocked” when he found out his ex was pregnant.

Wayne Brady told People magazine that he fathered a son during the pandemic with his ex-girlfriend, Tina. The 52-year-old Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Let’s Make a Deal star told People that he “was shocked” when he found out his pandemic fling, Tina, was pregnant with his son, Val Henry. “I asked the silly question that I think many men since the beginning of time have asked. ‘How?’ You know how! So get past it,” Brady quipped. Brady and Tina do not live near each other and, according to People, Val and Brady talk over FaceTime every day. “It’s a different type of parenting than when Maile was born, because [ex-wife Mandie Taketa and I] were together… It’s a completely different form of co-parenting,” Brady said. Brady said that Val has been welcomed into the fold of the “Core Four,” of himself, his daughter Maile, Taketa, and Jason Fordham, Taketa’s partner. “I think of how loved he is by the Core Four, and I’m glad that he’ll have that as well,” Brady reflected.
