Marques! Marques! Sometimes it’s best to quit hitting your tongue. While already under scrutiny for marrying a woman much younger than him, Marques Houston has again said a mouth full.

The actor and singer told Page Six that women his age often come with “baggage” and “kids.”

“A red flag to me [was] always with a woman that had a kid,” he said. “Nothing against single women, but single mothers with children are a red flag for me.”

The “Sister Sister” actor met his now-wife Miya Dickey in 2018 through a mutual friend.

“I tip my hat and respect women that are raising children on their own,” he told Page Six. “But when I grew up, I never really wanted to have kids.”

Houston made headlines in 2020 when at age 38, he was engaged to a 19-year-old. He publicly defended their relationship.

His wife is now 22, and the two have one child together. Houston is 41.

“I would talk to my dad a lot, and he would always tell me to have your own kids because you never know what the baby daddy‘s are about. So if you’re gonna have kids, make sure it is with a woman that never had kids. So that was always my red flag… and a woman with an attitude. I don’t like women with funky attitudes,” Houston added.

Houston also says it could have been “disastrous” had he married a “44-year-old woman” his age.

“Women that are my age… they kind of have a different outlook on life. Like a lot of women my age are very independent. They are very like, ‘I don’t need a man to do this for me ’cause I can do it for myself.’ I come from a generation that I love to provide for my wife.”

“There’s a lot of women my age I’ve dated, they may have baggage. They may have kids, they may not. There’s so many different women I’ve been with throughout my life, and it just so happens to be that this one [Miya] caught my heart. Everything that I prayed for — and everything that I wanted in a woman — she came with. Although she was young, I’m young in spirit,” the Immature member continued.

And as for his critics, well, he feels the critique is always there.

“In the Immature days, we [would] have light-skinned girls in our music videos. Then people would question… ‘Why can’t you get a black girl?’ And then it’s like, ‘Oh yeah, I only like light-skinned girls.’ Then the plus-size girls will come and get me. I was like, ‘Man, I can’t catch a break.”
