Damon Wayans Talks Dating Nephew's Ex-Girlfriend

Damon Wayans Sr. recently disclosed on Shannon Sharpe’s 'Club Shay Shay' podcast that he once dated his nephew's ex-girlfriend shortly after his 2000 divorce from Lisa Thorner. Despite initially not knowing about her past with his nephew, Wayans fell deeply in love and, upon learning of the connection, sought his nephew's approval, which was surprisingly given. The relationship, which began around 2001, ended amicably but led to some awkward family gatherings. Wayans humorously compared the situation to the Jackson family dynamics and noted the unique dating pool in Hollywood. The revelation was met with mixed reactions from fans, reflecting both amusement and criticism. Throughout the discussion, Wayans emphasized that his nephew and the woman were not in love, allowing him to pursue the relationship without much familial strain.
