THEIR MARRIAGE
Williams and Jackson are doting parents to their children, Hannah Belle and John Ervin. The couple first met through a mutual friend in 2007 and waited for two years before tying the knot.
Jackson still believes that marrying her was the best decision of his life.
Jackson, who is a former military reservist, put a ring on it at Ebenezer AME Church in Ft. Washington, Maryland. The black and white themed ceremony was attended by 300 guests including Telma Hopkins of "Family Matters."
Jackson, who is the President and CEO of the IT firm "Y-Tech," was born in Seoul, South Korea. His father, a military man, and his mother worked menial jobs to make ends meet.
FAMILY FIRST
Jackson had no idea how hard his parents worked to fulfill their basic needs. In fact, he only found out that they cleaned restrooms and government buildings when he was growing up.
Later on, Jackson joined the army and completed his university studies after his service. After marrying Williams and welcoming children with her, he asked her to put her career on hold so that she could focus on family. Jackson still believes that marrying her was the best decision of his life.
