Actor Tyrese Gibson celebrated his birthday with his girlfriend, Zelie Timothy, but their festive night took a dramatic turn when the conversation veered into unexpected territory: marriage. A video shared on social media captured the couple’s candid exchange about tying the knot, leaving fans with more questions than answers.
In a video shared on social media, the couple can be seen enjoying a night out when the topic of marriage unexpectedly arose.
“He doesn’t want to get married,” Zelie began, addressing the elephant in the room.
Tyrese, visibly caught off guard, countered, “I wanna travel. I want to travel. I want to travel.” But Zelie quickly repeated her claim: “He doesn’t wanna marry me so.”
The exchange escalated as Tyrese questioned her assertion, saying, “I don’t want to marry? What do you mean, Babe?” Zelie, doubling down, read a comment aloud from a fan encouraging Tyrese to “marry her.” Still, she added her own twist: “He doesn’t want to marry me,” she insisted.
Tyrese, however, offered a more practical explanation, citing unfinished business with his divorce. “That’s not true. I’m just waiting on my divorce to be finalized so I can get into this,” he explained.
Zelie wasn’t convinced, casually responding, “Either way, it is what it is.”
Tyrese, trying to lighten the mood, reiterated his point. “We can’t get into the new paperwork until the old paperwork is done,” he quipped, referencing his ongoing divorce proceedings.
Zelie, still unimpressed, shrugged it off with a pointed remark: “Babe, it’s over. You just don’t wanna marry me.”
In true Tyrese fashion, he laughed off the entire conversation, chalking it up to a little liquid courage. “I love y’all. She’s just talking sh*t. The tequila is kicking in the wrong direction,” he said with a chuckle, diffusing the tension.
Tyrese’s most recent marital issues stem from his ongoing divorce from Samantha Lee Gibson. The couple, who share a daughter, announced their split in December 2020 after nearly four years of marriage. Despite the breakup, their divorce proceedings have been far from amicable, with heated courtroom exchanges and disputes over child support and custody arrangements. Tyrese has been vocal about feeling targeted in the legal process, claiming bias against men in family court.
While navigating his divorce, Tyrese has been in a high-profile relationship with social media influencer Zelie Timothy. Their relationship has been filled with ups and downs, often documented on their Instagram pages.
