Ralph Tresvant Wife Zena – “Shelly”

Ralph Tresvant’s ex-wife, Shelly Jean Tresvant most likely didn’t want her name used in The New Edition Story.  To avoid being sued, BET used the name “Zena” instead of Shelly’s real name.  Ralph and Shelly’s relationship started when they were only 11-years-old.  The couple got married in 1993 and divorced in 1996.

Ralph and Shelly have two daughters and a son together.  In 2012, Ralph’s daughter, Na’Quelle Tresvant-Smith, made him a grandfather.  According to multiple media outlets, the New Edition singer was a cheater, leading Shelly to turn to drugs.
