Mary Mary's Erica and Tina Campbell: Marriage Crises, Hiatus, and Where They Are Now — Photos

Gospel's most famous sister duo built an empire on faith, but the fractures in their personal lives nearly cost them everything.

Erica Campbell and Tina Campbell (née Atkins) have sold more than 8 million records as Mary Mary, the contemporary gospel duo they formed in 1998 in Inglewood, California.

But behind the music, both sisters were quietly living through marriage crises serious enough to threaten the group itself, and the photos ahead capture just how different their roads look today.

Tina Campbell's Marriage Fell Apart on Camera

Mary Mary's personal lives became public property when the sisters agreed to document their world on their WE TV reality series, also called "Mary Mary." Audiences got closer access than most fans bargain for, including a front-row seat to Tina's marriage unraveling in real time.

Tina discovered her husband, Glendon "Teddy" Campbell, had been unfaithful in early 2013, and the fallout consumed Season 3 of the show, which aired in 2014.

The betrayal was not a vague allegation either. The other woman turned out to be someone the singer knew personally. Tina described how the truth finally surfaced on "The Steve Harvey Show" in 2015.

Someone close to her had spent six months quietly verifying what they knew before coming forward and warning her about Teddy's actions.

"The person who it was, she used to work for me and so, um, that broke my heart. She was like a godmother to my children. She had access to my home to come get my kids and all that kind of stuff."

Before confronting Teddy directly, Tina had already called him from New York and asked him to be honest. They stayed on the phone for an hour and eight minutes. He told her nothing.

When she got home on Super Bowl Sunday, she asked him face-to-face. He denied it again, so she told him to call the other woman right then and there.

"And he was like, 'Tina wants to know,' and I said, 'Are you sleeping with my husband?' and she hung up the phone, so I had my answer," she revealed.

The fallout was explosive. The singer described destroying three cars, physically going after Teddy, and sinking into a place so dark that eventually she told herself, "I'm practicing dying every day. Either I'm going to die wrong or live right."

But afterward, the couple made it through. Tina and Teddy went to counseling, eventually renewed their vows in a private ceremony in 2014 that later featured in Season 4 of "Mary Mary," which aired March 19, 2015, and worked publicly toward rebuilding.

For years, their love appeared to have held. In 2019, Tina posted a birthday message for Teddy, calling him a "priceless gift" to their home and family, adding, "You are a wonderful human being. Here's to another wonderful year, my love."

The Solo Split That Put the Group on Hold

While Tina was still in the worst of it, Erica made a professional decision that added friction to an already strained dynamic. In March 2014, the same month the infidelity scandal was playing out publicly on TV, Erica launched her solo debut album, "Help."

Tina needed time away from music to deal with her personal life, and Erica used that window to pursue her own career. The timing seemingly created real tension between the sisters and led to an extended hiatus for Mary Mary.

Although a break had been announced since early 2013, speculation swirled that it was because of friction between them during this difficult time. But both sisters have maintained that the group never officially broke up.

Additionally, Tina eventually followed with her own solo release in March 2015. And she wasn't the only one with romantic problems in general.

Erica's Husband Came Clean Before Any of It Was Public

Tina's crisis got the cameras and the headlines, but Erica had already lived through something similar years earlier, before the reality show and before the hiatus.

Her husband, producer Warryn Campbell, admitted to being unfaithful roughly three years into their marriage, which began in 2001.

In a 2019 interview, Warryn spoke directly about it. He had gotten engaged at 23, knowing he was not ready, telling himself, "I know I got all this sexual inventory. I know I got all this stuff. But I'll be fine if I get married and just settle down."

He was wrong and eventually admitted it to Erica himself. Warryn was clear that the blame was his, not Erica's, even though she had discussed her own role in the breakdown publicly in an episode of "Tamron Hill Show" that same year.

What he did acknowledge was that Erica's touring schedule had fed his insecurity, "What happened was, my wife was on the road so much, after a while, I just felt like I was missing her. So, I said, 'I need you to come home.'"

But Erica had two years of contracted dates she could not cancel. His response to that, by his own account, was indefensible:

"But my arrogance said, 'No, I want you to come home.' And since you ain't coming home, I'ma go do this [sic]."

Rebuilding took more than a conversation. Warryn described marriage counseling with their pastor as the turning point, but the hardest moment was something his pastor arranged.

"This is crazy when I even think about it. He made me, my wife, and one of the women at the time, we all sat, in a room together, with him and we all talked," the producer explained.

This other woman had been pregnant during the sit-down, though she did not have the baby, and Warryn had a daughter, Krista Nicole Campbell, with Erica, who was about eight months old at the time.

They also made it through, but the producer said his pastor's final lesson stayed with him. Holding a small hand towel, the pastor told Warryn that getting through the situation was not the question, but whether he could endure what came next:

"It's about whether or not you can endure the squeeze. Because you're going to be squeezed all around."

Erica forgave him completely about a year and a half later. They were in a studio session when she walked over and told him she was not angry anymore. He started crying.

Two Sisters, Two Very Different Endings

Although it looked like the sisters had worked out their relationships, 2026 has changed a few things. First, whatever the road cost them, Erica and Warryn arrived somewhere most couples do not.

On May 16, the couple renewed their vows at California Worship Center in San Fernando, California, celebrating 25 years of marriage. Aside from Krista Nicole, they share two other children: Warryn III and Zaya Monique Campbell.

But Tina and Teddy's story ended differently. Around a month earlier, on April 13, Teddy filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to TMZ.

The filing cited irreconcilable differences, with the couple having been separated since June 2024 after more than two decades of marriage that began on August 12, 2000.

Still, they share five children in total: Cierra, Teddy's daughter from a previous relationship, adult daughters Laiah Simone and Meelah Jane Campbell, and two minors, Glendon Theodore Campbell II, 16, and Santana Campbell, 13.

Teddy has requested child visitation rights for the two younger children, with spousal support listed as a matter for future determination.

And as for Mary Mary, Tina and Erica announced the album "Still Thankful" this past January, their first record together in nearly 15 years. So, despite what life has put them through, it looks like the gospel queens will keep bringing music and faith together for their fans.
