Former Martin star Tisha Campbell opened up about her financial struggles following her high profile divorce from ex-husband Duane Martin after 22 years of marriage.
During a recent appearance on Entertainment Tonight, the actress-singer estimates that she had about $7 to her name at the time.
“Nothing. No one knows that, but I had nothing,” Campbell said. “Nothing in the bank. Nothing. I had maybe $7 to my name, and I was scared. It was like I was starting all over.”
She praised her two songs, Xen and Ezekiel, for how they handled such a challenging, life-changing situation. She admitted starting over was very difficult but necessary.
“The fact that I did raise children who didn’t care about the big mansion that I had or that we had to start over or any of it,” she said, with tears in her eyes. “Starting over is not always the easiest thing, but it is the necessary thing. It’s a beautiful devastation.”
Two years after making that difficult decision to start over, she finds herself in a much more financially stable place but not looking to jump into another relationship anytime soon. When asked about finding love, the star says she’s the happiest she’s ever been.
