    We said we were trying to make it work for the kids. You know what I mean? Trying to make it work for the kids. But it just wasn't working out. You know what I mean? Trying to make it work. And she ended up getting pregnant by another guy. Now, how that situation happened was that I was at the hospital. She had a sickle cell trait. So she ended up, you know, I'm thinking it's that. We go in there and the doctor comes in and says, yeah, so you lost the baby. And I was just like, hey, yo, what? He lost the baby. And I'm like, oh, I know that's not mine. And so I lost the baby. And I'm like, OK, so she was pregnant at that time. And this was just like, what was going on? You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Within the relationship. That was rough, bro. But then it's also doing movies, doing TV shows, doing all these things as this is going on, not really telling anybody. I wasn't telling my parents, telling my family what was going on. So now all these situations are happening. and I get to the point where I'm at, you know, 2004. I get a phone call and she's this guy, you know, that she wants to be with. And I was just like, okay, yeah, y'all need to be together. You know what I mean? Like, let's do this. And I just felt like at that point it needs to be a reset button just because I looked at my parents and how beautiful their relationship was and how this relationship was not being that at all and how what I thought marriage would be wasn't that at all. And then even just the navigation of this industry as well and what was going on. And I just wanted to hit an off button at that point. And I felt like that was the answer. At the Sun Hotel in Canada on the other side of a balcony, I tell people, you know, I heard something tell me, hey, yo, girl, get into a room, lock the door, and get off this balcony. I know that was God now, but at that time, I said it was a person, but I know it was God that told me to do that.
