His wife, Patricia Pinkett, has filed for divorce after more than 17 years of marriage and years of separation, according to TMZ.

In the legal documents obtained by the outlet, Patricia cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of their breakup and said they have been living apart since February 28, 2020.
Caleb Pinkett is an actor and producer who married Patricia in September 2006. They also have an 11-year-old daughter together, who is Jada’s niece.
