MiniBio

She’s a well-known gospel singer who was married to Israel Houghton until their separation in 2016. During her time in the spotlight, she earned a Grammy nomination for Best Gospel Performance/Song, showcasing her powerful voice and deep spiritual influence. Before fame took hold, she and Israel met through a shared passion for ministry work—a connection that quickly blossomed into love. In fact, they tied the knot just four months after meeting, marking the beginning of a significant chapter in her life. Together, the couple welcomed three beautiful children: Mariah, Israel, and Milan. Even after their marriage ended, she continued to carry forward her faith and musical legacy with strength and grace. Her journey—from ministry roots to national recognition—reflects both personal resilience and artistic dedication. And throughout it all, her name remains closely tied to the world of contemporary gospel music.

Trivia

Back in February 2016, Israel finally opened up and admitted that he had made serious mistakes—what he called “sins”—during his marriage to her. It was a moment of personal reflection for Israel, where he acknowledged his shortcomings and took responsibility for the issues that had affected their relationship. Israel’s confession marked a turning point, showing his willingness to confront the past. For Israel, it wasn’t just about admitting fault; it was part of a broader effort to come to terms with what went wrong. And as Israel reflected on those experiences, it became clear how much the journey had shaped him.
