The first trailer for it has some people irate because it highlights how he first met his young bride Miya, fueling speculation she was a minor when they started dating.

“Does it upset you that the internet seems to have a problem with the age that your wife was when you married her?” The “Sister Sister” star responded, “Absolutely not. Everyone has their own opinion.”
“She’s 22 going on 23 and you know she keeps me young and fresh what can I say we have a love that people don’t really understand and I don’t really care to explain it”
Watch below:
Marques insists he’s not sweating the opinions of strangers, he’s well aware everyone has them — and what he really wanted to clarify is he started dating Miya when she was 18 … and they were married a year later.
She’s now 22, while he’s 41. They welcomed their first child in December 2021, and he says it’s been bliss ever since.
He says the online misconception began when someone allegedly published the wrong birthdate for Miya … leading folks to believe she was underage when their relationship began.
All that drama aside, Marques says everything else is in order, and he’s looking toward his upcoming Tubi movie “No Way Out.”
