KeKe Wyatt Remains Silent as Estranged Husband’s New ‘American Idol’ Alum Girlfriend Flaunts Relationship

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Singer KeKe Wyatt‘s relationship with her estranged husband Michael Jamar Ford appears to have no signs of possible reconciliation as Ford’s new “American Idol” contestant girlfriend is publicly professing her love for him.

Paris Bennett, who famously competed on the fifth season of the reality singing competition, gloated about her apparent new man on Instagram Monday, Aug. 6.

“An Everyday Crush but you can call him MONDAY….💋#MyMCM #MCE #MichaelJamar #Live #Love #Laugh #AllSmiles #UnexpextedBlessing #IfOnlyYouKnew #GrassIsGreener✨#Happy,” the 29-year-old wrote.

Fans began swamping the AI alum’s comments for swooping in on Wyatt’s man.

“What a trifling little f—ing whore you are! Fake Christians are some of the [most] dangerous people and you seem to pride yourself on being #petty smh… You and his soft ass can go to hell.”

“Oooooooooooo this is messy asf….. like sis he has 100 kids to actively take care of. What can he do for you?”

“No this disrespectful heffa didn’t. Karma is going to eat her ass alive😡 I’m so sorry my beautiful queen 👸🏽 for this public ignorance wow what a downgrade…”

Ford filed to divorce the “R&B Divas” star in 2017, telling the Jasmine Brand at the time, “I have loved, raised, supported, and cared for every child in our family (biological or not), including our son who is currently battling leukemia. I will continue to be that person and do all of these things, but I will not be her husband.”

The couple, who wed in 2010, have nine children between them, including three Wyatt had with her first husband, Rahmat Morton and one from a prior relationship of Jamar’s. The estranged spouses welcomed their ninth child, a boy, last fall.

“I can no longer allow our children to live in a toxic environment and, because I love Keke, I can no longer accept toxic behavior,” he added. “A home should be a refuge of peace from the inequity and harshness of the world. Keke is much stronger than she gives herself credit for and she is a great mother. There is a healing that needs to take place and I have faith that it will happen.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
