Aside from their kids, Epps has a daughter named Aiyanna from a previous relationship. Their blended family does not shy away from the spotlight, and they're often seen on social media.
KEEPING THE FIRE ALIVE
Despite the challenges of being a Hollywood couple, Epps and his wife have stayed off scandals and controversies and often steal the show at red carpet events.
While it seems they have everything figured out, their relationship had some bad times, too. The "Juice" actor and his wife once dated in the '90s, but they later went their separate ways.

A LOVE SO DEEP
Omar made it known that although he had other relationships, he couldn't stop thinking of Keisha. They later reconnected, got married, and they haven't looked back since.
In fact, in an interview with Hollywood Reporter, Omar revealed that he believes there's no question that Keisha is his soulmate. He goes on to gush about her, saying she's taught him a lot about everything.
NO BREAK-UPS ALLOWED
After being together for over a decade, the couple decided that breaking up was just not an option for them. Ultimately, it changed their whole dynamic. He once said:
"For us, we just took breaking up off the table. That changed the whole dynamic of how we argue, solve problems..."
There's no stopping Omar and Keisha Epps when it comes to showing off their love on social media. Despite their strong love for each other, they make sure not to forget about their own personal feelings, advocating self-love on top of loving one another.
