The Blended Family Remains Incredibly Close
When Maile Masako Brady makes her “Les Mis” debut, she can expect an overwhelming outpouring of love and support. She comes from a blended family who will support wherever her career takes her.
Maile and her family starred in the short-lived reality show, “Wayne Brady: The Family Remix.” The show explored the dynamics of the blended family, including her parents’ strong friendship even after their 2008 divorce.
Wayne Brady and Mandie Taketa were married from 1999 until 2008. They welcomed Maile in 2003. After they split, Taketa went on to build a life with dancer and choreographer, Jason Michael Fordham. They have one son together, Sundance-Isamu, born in 2021. Wayne Brady has also played an active role in his life too.
During “The Family Remix,” Wayne Brady revealed he had a son with an ex-girlfriend. The baby was named Val Henry, after Brady’s late grandmother, Valerie Petersen.
“When I first found out Tina was pregnant… Wow. I was floored,” the entertainer shared on the show. “It was not on my bingo card to be a 51-year-old dad.”
In honor of Father’s Day a few years ago, Brady shared several photos of all the children. He even included an adorable photo of Val and Sun hugging. Though the boys don’t share DNA, they’re being raised as brothers and will always have plenty of support.
As a proud father, Wayne Brady will undoubtedly be in attendance when Maile makes her “Les Misérables” debut. Fans look forward to seeing his review.
