Rosie Perez Was Married Twice: What We Know About Her Current Husband

Academy Award-nominated Rosie Perez will celebrate her tenth anniversary with her highly accoladed graffiti artist husband, Eric Haze, this year. Haze is also an accomplished designer who has collaborated with one of the biggest sports brands in the world.

Actress, TV host, and choreographer Rosie Perez has exchanged vows with two people. Her first marriage began in February 1998, when she tied the knot with dramatist and director Seth Zvi Rosenfeld. Their union lasted three years before they underwent a divorce in 2001.

In 2013, she married her current husband, graffiti writer and designer Eric Haze. The artist and his wife are both New York City residents and have settled down in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. They do not share any children, but they genuinely love boxing.

Perez's Second Husband Is a Graffiti Artist

SE3 was Faze's alias when he started as a graffiti artist in the 1970s. He grew as an artist over time and reintroduced himself as Haze. He has an impressive history, collaborating with legendary names in entertainment and esteemed brands.

Some entertainers who commissioned Faze to design logos and other works include Public Enemy, EPMD, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, and Delicious Vinyl. He was credited for writing the text on Beastie Boys' 1992 album "Check Your Head."

Faze has his own limited edition Nike, G-Shock, and New Balance sneakers. He has appeared in the famous fashion documentary "Style" and features in the "Subway Art" book. He is also the owner of a self-titled brand and has a store up and running in Harajuku of Tokyo, Japan.

Haze launched his clothing line, Haze Brand, in 1993 and, since then, made an immovable mark on the trajectory of streetwear, inspiring the taste and designs sought after by streetwear consumers in the years that followed.

The "White Men Can't Jump" actress spoke about her relationship with a girl from her junior high school named Michelle.

He is also credited for being one of the initiators of the visual representation and look of hip-hop as we know it. His work in the golden years of hip-hop has inspired a wave of edgy designs and trickled into the mainstream fashion and design world, e.g., his work with Nike.

Perez Supports Her Husband's Interests and Visits Gallery with Him

In 2014, Perez was spotted with her artist husband in Northwest Washington when they visited the Long View Gallery. On that day, Long View Gallery hosted the one-night-only exhibit, "Taking Back The Streets," organized by bottled water company WAT-AAH!

The event was put together for the youth as part of the Drink Up initiative launched by Michelle Obama. Haze donated a triptych artwork to the "Taking Back The Streets" exhibition. The Drink Up campaign was launched to combat an obesity and health crisis affecting the youth while encouraging young and old to drink more water.

It has been reported that Obama spoke about the thinking behind the initiative and summed up the organizers' intentions for the event, saying, "Water is the easiest choice to make. And we're going to make it cool."

Their Wedding Was Decided in a Day

Their union was prolonged as they had known each other for years, and Perez always introduced herself to Faze, who would always remind her that they had met before. However, they only became acquainted at Lee Quinones's 50th birthday party.

"The View" co-host and her husband will celebrate their tenth anniversary this year. Their marriage was unplanned and in the moment. After a boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Saúl Álvarez, the couple spent the night at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino and married the following day.

Their union has been solid ever since, and Perez speaks about her husband regularly on the ABC program "The View." Perez and Haze are iconic achievers in the history of New York City.

Perez Once Opened Up about Her Same-Sex Relationship

Perez delivered a speech at a TrevorLIVE event in New York City; in the speech, she revealed that she had been romantically involved with a woman. The artist's wife mentioned that she identifies as quasi-straight, meaning that she is romantically interested in people of the opposite sex but not entirely uninterested in women.

The event is hosted by The Trevor Project, which is a national LGBT organization that supports and educates the youth about their unconventional romantic preferences. While delivering the speech, Perez spoke about young people having someone to talk to about their sexuality. She said:

"Every human being, whether they want to admit it or not, went through a period of questioning. I know I did."

The "White Men Can't Jump" actress spoke about her relationship with a girl from her junior high school named Michelle. Perez had resisted sexual feelings towards Michelle for a long time until Michelle took it upon herself to initiate a relationship with Perez. She added that their relationship, along with their friendship, came to an end.

The actress said she had nobody to speak to about her sexuality and then-confusing feelings. Perez mentioned that she knows she is not the only person who has been through a period of questioning their sexuality and suppressing the feelings within themselves, despite feeling like they are alone.

She feels a sense of responsibility to assist the youth with finding themselves, mentioning that she did not have an adult to assure her about the ordinary experiences she endured. Perez echoed that stance by stating that an elder's simple "you're normal, don't worry" comment would make a big difference in the world.
