Court records obtained by multiple entertainment outlets confirm that Teddy Campbell, husband of Grammy-winning gospel artist and Mary Mary member Tina Campbell, officially filed for dissolution of marriage in a Los Angeles County court earlier this week, marking the end of their 23-year union that has been closely followed by fans of gospel music and reality television for decades. The pair first tied the knot in 2001, and share five children together, ranging in age from 8 to 22. According to the publicly available filing, Teddy cited irreconcilable differences as the core reason for the split, and has requested joint legal and physical custody of their three remaining minor children, in addition to spousal support.
The divorce news has sent shockwaves through faith and entertainment circles, largely because the Campbells spent years positioning themselves as a model of marital redemption after a highly publicized 2016 infidelity scandal. At the time, Teddy publicly admitted to being unfaithful, and Tina openly documented her pain, anger, and eventual decision to stay and repair their marriage across multiple seasons of the hit WE tv reality series "Mary Mary," which followed Tina and her sister Erica Campbell’s careers as the chart-topping gospel duo of the same name. In the years after the scandal, the couple launched joint marriage workshops, a podcast focused on relationship healing, and a digital course for couples navigating conflict, framing their own story as proof that even deeply damaged marriages could be saved with faith, communication, and consistent effort.
Sources close to the couple told TMZ that the split is currently amicable, and both parties have agreed to keep the details of their separation private to protect their children, even after decades of sharing their personal lives on camera. As of press time, Tina has not issued a public statement about the divorce, and her most recent social media posts show her attending church events and spending time with her children, with no mention of marital strife. Representatives for both Tina and Teddy have declined to comment on the pending legal proceedings, noting that the family’s priority is keeping the transition as smooth as possible for their kids.

I’m absolutely heartbroken for the whole family! I took their marriage workshop with my husband 3 years ago when we were on the brink of splitting, and their story gave us so much hope to keep fighting. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors, so I hope everyone gives them all the space and grace they need right now.
It’s so easy to forget that celebrity couples don’t owe us a perfect happily ever after. They shared their healing journey to help people, not to be held to an impossible standard. If they tried their best and it still didn’t work out, that’s okay. I wish both of them peace as they move forward.
As a long-time Mary Mary fan, I remember watching Tina go through the infidelity scandal on the show and how raw and honest she was about how much that hurt. I can only imagine how devastating this must be for her after she put in so much work to save the marriage. I hope she’s surrounded by love and support right now.
Can we all stop speculating about who is at fault? They have 5 kids who are definitely seeing all the discourse online. The best thing everyone can do is stop spreading rumors and let them handle their private family matter privately, regardless of how much of their lives they shared in the past.
