Rumors saying Scandal Season 4 star Kerry Washington has divorced her husband is not true, the actress' representative said. Over the past weeks, rumors circulated on the internet saying the 37-year old actress is now separated from husband Nnamdi Asomugha, a former NFL player. Washington's representative, who was not named, deny any of these.
"[The divorce is] not happening. They are actually excited for the holidays as a family and have no drama in their lives. Leave that for the TV show!" a source tells HollywoodLife.com.
According to reports by Fashion Style quoting SportsWorldNews, the Scandal TV series star filed a divorce after discovering that her husband is gay.
"Everyone on the NFL knew he was gay, and he's slept around a bit, even once with a former Philly player who is now out of the closet, and who I am now friends with, thus I have direct information on," a source told the website. "Now that he has switched careers to acting, he's been seen for example, at Thursday's John Wooten Awards event in NYC chatting up an unknown young man for the whole night and leaving with him."
This is not first time that the Scandal star's husband was accused of being gay. Sports blogger Terez Owens once wrote about it crediting an undisclosed source.
"Now that he has "switched" careers to acting, he's been seen for example, at Thursday's John Wooten Awards event in NYC chatting up an unknown young man for the whole night... and leaving with him. So because it's not just confined to sports anymore, as those pre SB events had many people witnessing various things, including this one, he is not as protected as he was before. People TALK" said our source. Maybe that's why he retired?"
Although in Scandal TV series, Kerry Washington's character Olivia Pope has been dragged to a nationwide controversy, the actress is exactly the opposite in real-life. She is a very private person. In fact, her marriage with Asomugha did not reach the public until the ceremony was finished.
"I'm walking around in the world with my ring. And when people say congratulations, I say thank you. But I'm going to continue to not talk about it and just let it unfold," the Scandal Season 4 star said in an interview with Glamour magazine.
