Actor attends car event with partner after family event

An actor and his girlfriend attended the Mercedes-AMG world premiere at Sixth Street Bridge in Los Angeles Tuesday night. The pair posed together hand-in-hand on the red carpet. The actor wore a brown suit while his partner wore a strapless red dress.

Background on family relations The actor and his former spouse divorced in 2016 after more than a decade together. The divorce led to a years-long legal battle that was settled in 2024. Several of the actor's children have publicly used names other than his surname in recent years. One child used a different surname when receiving a diploma from Spelman College over the weekend.

Relationship timeline The actor and his girlfriend have been dating since 2022.

A source told Page Six that some people have tried to cast a shadow over the graduation by taking a dig at a father who has already been separated from his family. Last summer, sources told Us Weekly that the actor has strained relationships with all of his children despite several efforts to reconnect.
