Meet Anthony Anderson's Wife Alvina Stewart Who Was His High School Sweetheart

Anthony Anderson married his high school sweetheart Alvina Stewart. The couple has been married for 25-years, and Anderson often refers to his wife as his "Queen."

Anthony Anderson went from the dim-witted side-kick in movies to the starring role as the quintessential African-American father on the hit show, "Black-ish."

In 2018, Alvina's flare for custom gowns earned them best dressed by Elle Magazine at the Emmy Awards. Gushing over the honor, Anderson praised his wife, saying:

"There's always a silver lining! You were right mama, we are cute! I don't need a trophy to win, I have a QUEEN!"

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Anderson shared that his since being diagnosed with diabetes, his wife has been supportive of his fitness goals and he took a lot of inspiration from her, he said:

"My wife's become an avid gym rat, and she inspires me. My children are fit too and also help me keep going."

Anthony grew up in Compton, Los Angeles, and he revealed to Yahoo! Parenting that when his kids were younger, he overcompensated for his childhood by giving them all the things he never had.

However, he admitted that he has reigned it in, and is teaching his children the value of hard work. Alvina and Anderson have created a comfortable balance of schoolwork, chores, and community service.

The couple lives a very private life. However, their relationship made headlines when Alvina filed for divorce in 2015. According to E!, the couple had been separated since 2014.
