Later, she would star and executive produce on the series “227,” which was adapted for television from an original screenplay created by her daughter, Angela Gibbs.

Angela inherited her mother’s talent, and both women are considered triple threats in the industry: they can act, direct, produce, and more. They recently worked together on the film “Love Jacked,” a collaboration that was a long time in the making.

And although both women are busy with their careers, they also have a beautiful family to take care of.

Aside from Angela, Marla has two other children, sons Dorian and Joseph Gibbs, all from her marriage to Jordan Gibbs.

On the other hand, Angela also has one son, King Amil, and he made her a by fathering two kids: son Sam, 20, and daughter Aila, who’s in her teenage years.

The proud dad recently gushed about Aila’s singing skills, sharing a throwback video on Instagram of the girl singing to Alicia Keys’ “If Ain’t Got You” in front of her class. The girl seems to carry the passion for the arts in her DNA but is not clear if she’s pursuing a career in Hollywood in the future to follow her grandma and great-grandma's steps.

What is clear is that Marla loves to spend time with her adorable family. On Valentine’s Day, the veteran actress shared a picture on Instagram from her celebration at a restaurant alongside Angela, Amil, and Aila. She captioned the post:
