Does Lil Rel Howery have kids?

Lil Rel Howery and his son Judah get to celebrate Father’s Day in real life and as animated characters on the Disney Jr. animated show “Eureka!”

In the new series, which premieres Wednesday, Howery and “Hamilton” star Renée Elise Goldsberry are Rollo and Roxy, mom and dad to Eureka (Ruth Righi), a young Black girl who is an inventor who designs contraptions in the hopes of making the world (and her prehistoric town of Rocky Falls) a better place.

“I’ve always wanted to play a cartoon dad. And I bring to it a lot of the stuff I’m doing from feature films to animated. Really leaning into the father role of things,” says Howery. “I’m a big Steve Martin fan and I think some of his greatest work was that father stuff, you know what I mean?”

‘Get Out’ breakout Lil Rel Howery takes the lead in ‘Uncle Drew’

It’s a career milestone just about every actor aspires to achieve: the time when he or she no longer has to audition.

For the record:

7:12 p.m. June 21, 2022An earlier version of this article said “Eureka!” is from the creators of “Doc McStuffins.” It is from an animation studio, Brown Bag Films, that worked on the latter show. Chris Nee created “Doc McStuffins.” Also, a hyperlink that led to an article about Nee has been removed.

The show, from an animation studio behind “Doc McStuffins,” puts a strong emphasis on science and kids problem-solving: creating pulley systems, making a pizza using volcanic steam, etc. It’s a younger, smarter, more inclusive update of “The Flintstones.”

“I mean, it’s this cool, inventive young Black girl who basically created the wheel,” said Howery. “It’s so important, and I applaud Disney for doing a show like this.”

Howery is proud of the show’s diversity, and the fact that it’s on a channel his 11-year-old son is familiar with helps too. Judah, who voices twins Spruce and Cypress Stoneland, has been in other projects with his dad but is particularly excited for this one.

“I grew up watching stuff like this. Stuff on Disney Jr. That’s what drew me to it,” said Judah. “It is really cool to be able to do stuff with my dad. Pretty much all of the things I’ve been on is with him and it feels good to hear what he thinks about stuff — like how I should do this or that. And bringing his comedic stuff into it I think it really helps.”

“When you hire me, you gotta know what you’re getting. And they were very open to that. When I watched the first two episodes, I almost teared up a little bit because I was just so happy to hear my voice attached to something like that. Like Judah just said, my babies grew up watching that channel,” said Howery.

Review: Lil Rel Howery is a charmer in good-natured Fox sitcom ‘Rel’

Lil Rel Howery, who played Jerrod Carmichael’s brother Bobby on NBC’s “The Carmichael Show” and was recently the big-screen star of “Uncle Drew” (and a scene stealer in Get Out”), has a series of his own now on Fox simply called “Rel,” getting a preview Sunday (after football) before it begins its regular run Sept. 30.

Howery also has in the pipeline “I Love My Dad” (2022) and “Harold and the Purple Crayon” (2023), two projects that explore father-son relationships. Coincidental?

“You saw Eddie Murphy do that at one point in his career. He did ‘Daddy Day Care’ and a bunch of dad stuff. At some point you get excited about doing things that your kids can actually watch,” said Howery.

Stand-up comedy is a platform that lets many comedians lead successful careers in mainstream entertainment. One of such is Lil Rel Howery. He did a series of minor roles on TV and in movies before establishing himself as a household name. 

Despite his success in his career, he struggled with his marriage, eventually divorcing his wife.

Let's have a look at the details.

Lil Rel Howery’s Wife

Lil Rel was a happily married man for several years before a series of misfortunate events happened in his life. 

The comedian-actor exchanged the wedding vows with his girlfriend, Verina Robinson, on 29 November 2008. Soon after their marriage, the couple became parents to two children: daughter Brittni and son Judah.

However, Lil's marriage with his wife wasn't meant for long, as Verina filed for a divorce in 2015. The reason for their divorce was ‘irreconcilable differences.’

The separation wasn't the only tragedy that hit the actor, as he was also arrested a year later and was forced to spend a night in prison for assaulting a fellow driver.

After his divorce in 2017, Rel and his ex-wife were given joint custody of their children. As a result, his kids would often spend time between Chicago and Los Angeles, where their parents lived.

Just as everything was getting better for Rel, he got sued by his ex-wife and also a former lover. His ex-wife sued him for more child custody, while his ex-girlfriend named LeChez Davis claimed to have a child with the actor. 

The case went on for a long time as Davis’s husband was also involved. According to the TMZ, Davis told Rel and her husband the same story: they were the birth father. 

However, after the paternity test, it was proven that the baby was of Rel. So now, Rel wants full custody of the child and wants to keep his son away from a liar mother.
