Gina Torres's Husband: Inside the Actress's Marriage to Laurence Fishburne and Her New Romance

The only man known as Gina Torres's husband is Laurence Fishburne. He is an acclaimed movie star known for his role as Morpheus in "The Matrix" movies. Gina is not his wife anymore but has found a new love that makes her the mother figure of Kevin Wright's six children, including an amateur football player.

Gina Torres is widely known for her role as Jessica Pearson in the law drama "Suits" and "Pearson," the spinoff of the aforementioned TV show, where Gina is the protagonist. Her film career is one of a kind, including a few appearances with her first husband, Laurence Fishburne.

The actress who plays Tommy Vega in "9-1-1: Lone Star" underwent what seemed to be a sudden divorce from her famous lover and got into a relationship with a cowboy who seemingly suits her fancy. Here is a breakdown of the events leading up to her new relationship.

Gina Torres Was Married to Laurence Fishburne for 14 Years

In 2002, Gina Torres married "The Matrix" star Laurence Fishburne. They went on to star in "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions" the following year and followed up their on-screen relationship on "Five Fingers," released in 2006. Gina also appeared with Laurence as an item in the TV series "Hannibal" between 2013 and 2015.

Their Hollywood romance was not entirely a public relationship, as they managed to conceal much about their private life. Gina and her husband's commitment ended in the fall of 2016, divorcing after 14 years of marriage. Gina shared a statement with PEOPLE where she spoke about their union's ending:

"With heavy hearts, Laurence and I quietly separated and began the dissolution of our marriage in the early fall of last year. There are no bad guys here. Only a love story with a different ending than either one of us had expected."

Gina and Laurence's last public appearance as an item was in December 2015, and they then went on to make other appearances but not together. In 2017, a ringless Gina was seen sharing a passionate kiss with a mystery man at Sweet Butter Cafe in LA. After this incident made headlines, she announced her amicable divorce from Laurence.

A friend of Gina told Page Six, "I think when you've been married a long time, and you become single, you look for someone that has what your ex was missing." The actress's friend also added that they think Gina had found a person with the qualities she could not find in Laurence.

In 2016, Gina also decided not to renew her contract in "Suits," where she starred alongside Gabriel Macht. Her decision was made due to the extensive traveling between the Los Angeles home she shared with Laurence and the show's set in Toronto. She added that she needed to focus on her personal life.

Gina Torres Seems to Have Found Happiness with Entrepreneur Kevin Wright

Gina's mystery man from her lunch date in the Studio City restaurant was confirmed as an entrepreneur named Kevin Wright. Daily Mail shared that the actress met her boyfriend on a Southern California beach in August 2017, but suggested that the comfort they showed in each other at the restaurant offers that their relationship was not new.

"I think [Torres] finds in Kevin what she didn't find in [Fishburne]. He's the opposite of a Hollywood guy—he's just a cowboy type. He's an 'I'm going to go ride my horse' type of guy," Gina's friend told Page Six. The actress's associate also mentioned that they bonded over divorce—Kevin was in a 20-year marriage before dating Gina.

The actress's new man lived in Montana but conducted business in Utah when they met. Kevin, a cowboy at heart, has a real estate history and six children from his previous relationship. Despite the profile of the projects Gina starred in, her boyfriend was unaware of who she was when they first met, and they bonded organically.

Kevin accompanied Gina to the red carpet premiere of the "Miss Bala" action thriller in January 2019. They looked like a happy couple at the event that took place at Regal LA Live Stadium 14. Gina was dressed in a black outfit with a white and black polka dot top, and her beau wore a striped shirt, black blazer, and a pair of blue jeans.

The actress does not hesitate to show off her new partner on social media. She posted a picture of them looking rather cozy in January 2021, sharing words of encouragement for her fans. Then in October 2021, she shared a series of photos and a video, leaving a sweet birthday message for her "handsome cowboy."

They spent Valentine's Day 2022 together, and the actress shared a video collage of their priceless moments. The video included exciting activities like horse rides, a camel ride in the desert, and quad bike riding. She wrote a caption appreciating her lover and his daughter for her contribution:

"Being inside of these moments beside you is a lesson in true gratitude. The kind that only real love can bring. Thank You, @jennikaann, for helping out your Dad putting this beautiful L❤️VE EDIT together. You're the Best!"

Gina and her partner's good times seemingly never end, and they enjoy dressing up and heading out. In October 2022, the couple cleaned up well around Kevin's birthday. Their outfits were themed "Afro Cuban Barbie and Cowboy Ken."

The actress shared two photos of them on Instagram. The images show them modeling two outfits in preparation to turn heads, as she warned in the caption, "Wedding Crashers 2: We're Here Ya'll!"

Gina Torres Has One Biological Daughter from Her Relationship with Laurence Fishburne

Gina and her ex-husband welcomed one child during their 14-year marriage. They received Delilah Fishburne on June 16, 2007, after initially announcing their pregnancy in January of that year. Aside from her relationship with Laurence, Gina has not married or had any biological children with anyone else.

The actress usually shares posts on Instagram expressing her love for Delilah. She posted a birthday message on June 16 last year, expressing gratitude for the person her daughter is becoming. The post also featured a collage video of Delilah's growth since infancy.

Gina posted another series of photos with her daughter on Mother's Day 2022, and the pair were in great spirits at their lunch date. Valentine's Day 2021 was no different as the actress shared a photo of and with Delilah, one being a glorious throwback. She called her daughter her forever valentine in the red heart-flooded caption.

The actress has given birth to one child but has adopted maternal responsibility for nine children—including Delilah—in her lifetime. Her ex-husband had two children with his first wife, Hajna O. Moss: Montana Fishburne and Langston Fishburne, who became Gina's stepchildren in marriage. She continues to co-parent Delilah with Laurence.

Her current partner Kevin has six children from his wife of 20 years, and Gina showed her appreciation for him on Father's Day in 2020, calling him "one of the best dads" she knows.

In May last year, Gina made an Instagram post for Kevin's son—@chaz_wright13. She mentioned that the young man is one of Kevin's many blessings in her life.
