Lesson Wayne Brady Learned from His Marriage to Diana Lasso

Wayne and Diana were married briefly — from 1993 until 1995. Instead of taking enough time to heal from his first marriage, the actor quickly moved on to another relationship. Diana's ex-husband was asked what he had learned from his past marriages, and he didn't hesitate to break it down.

The "Let's Make A Deal" star noted that Diana is "a great person" but advised against marrying at 20 or 21, when one doesn't know himself that well. Ultimately, what he learned was this:

"I think the lesson was not to rush into things."

While married to Diana, the couple didn't welcome any children together; however, in his second marriage, Wayne became a first-time father. Unfortunately, the marriage did not last.

Who Was Wayne Brady's Second Wife?

Diana's ex-spouse and Mandie Taketa tied the knot in 1999, and while their union lasted a bit longer, they divorced in 2008. During their marriage, the former couple welcomed one child, a baby girl named Maile Masako Brady.

Speaking about how he had since changed after two failed marriages, Wayne said he learned to become a better man and friend from Mandie. He also learned how to listen and be grateful when someone is honestly on his side.

Wayne confessed that Mandie was someone who knew him better than his own family. She always had him covered, and he hoped that their co-parenting relationship when it came to Maile, who appeared on "The Bold and the Beautiful" with him, would inspire others.
