What happened to Mercedes star Brandee Evan’s husband?
Very little is known about Brandee Evan’s private life nowadays as the 37-year-old prefers to keep personal matters out of the spotlight.
However, two years ago, she did explain to Madamenoire that prior to her getting the role in P-Valley, she went through a terrible time in her life.
Although his identity is unknown, Evans was married, but she was left widowed.
Going by the star’s comments, it is thought that he was a military man and died on duty.
This wasn’t the only heartbreak for Evans though as she also lost a child.
Evans divulged: “I was on vacation when I had a stillbirth at 39 weeks.
“My whole life came crashing down. On top of that, my husband had gotten deployed and I lost my job coaching because, like Mercedes, I was very tough.
“The girls actually won nationals but I was still fired. I’ve now lost my husband.
“I’ve lost my job and I’ve lost my daughter.”
Evans took a vacation to Los Angeles where she would take dance classes in the hope it would “just make things better”.
This in turn led to her auditioning and taking on professional work as a dancer, including joining the dance troupe on a tour with rapper Lil’ Wayne.
She gave up her position as an English teacher and has since danced at almost every top awards show, minus the Oscars.
Evans went on to join actress Tasha Smith’s acting class and landed herself a starring role in P-Valley as a result.
