Michael Michele Husband – Queen Sugar, Darla Parents

Michael Michele’s husband would have been Jimmy Rodriguez but their relationship didn’t last.  Jimmy is a restauranteur from the Bronx who started dating Michael in 2002.  The couple welcomed a son, J. Brandon on December 21, 2004.  They eventually broke up and many believe it’s because Jimmy was cheating on his wife with Michael.

In 1997, Jimmy hit his ex-wife, Elaine Rodriguez, with his car.  In 2004, Jimmy and Elaine divorced after she found out that he was expecting a baby with Michele.  It’s great to see Michael on television again.  She’s best known for her role as Dr. Cleo Finch on ER.  She currently plays Ayanna Floyd on Lee Daniels Fox series Star.
