Getting Hitched Young

Faison and Askey got married in 2001, but their marriage was short-lived. Askey was a nursing student when she tied the knot with the actor, who is most famous for his roles in “Clueless,” “Remember the Titans,” and “Scrubs.” Faison admitted that he was not ready for married life, telling People in 2002, “I spent money on stupid things. A motorcycle, a big screen TV. I was lazy, and she straightened me out.” At that time, Askey said, “He’s just a big kid himself.” The couple started dating in 1997 and two years later welcomed fraternal twins, son Dade and daughter Kaya. Two years later they married and their third child, Kobe was born.
