POT OF GOLD

Michael took to his Instagram yesterday and penned a heartfelt message for his wife of seven years. It accompanied a beautiful photo Khatira with a rainbow behind her.

The photo was a prelude to his beautiful message to Khatira which began with a definition of what a rainbow is. He describes it as “a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection.” Then he mentions the popular myth concerning rainbows - that “at the end of it lies a pot of gold.”

Michael’s next words were sweet words a woman would love to hear from a man.

“I knew I found my gold on our 2nd date and I've been reflecting on the phenomenon that is you ever since.”

Michael married Khatira, an Afghanistan-American woman in October 2012. He is a relatively private guy so posting about his wife is rare.

A WOMAN'S MAN

Michael married Khatira, an Afghanistan-American woman in October 2012. He is a relatively private guy so posting about his wife is rare.

One of the few times he did was in 2017 to send out a powerful message. It was around the time President Trump announced a seven-country travel ban into the US. Michael shared a photo of him and his wife and simply captioned it, #NoMuslimBan.

The couple shares two children, a 5-year-old son named Elijah and 2-year-old daughter, Harlem. Shortly after Harlem’s birth, Michael told Steve Harvey about the brand new feelings he felt for his daughter.

“I just discovered a whole new love,” he had said. ‘I’ve never ever felt this way before. I was wondering if I could love another child as much as I love my son. And what I realized, within hours of my daughter being born, not only do I love her just as much if not more.”

It’s clear Michael has a soft spot when it comes to his girls and his wife is one lucky woman. Incidentally, he portrays “The Perfect Guy” in the film with the same title. How perfect is that?
