She Went Through a Surgery at The Age of 2

In August 2021, Samantha and Tyrese had announced that their daughter had gone through a 2-hour surgery. Although there is uncertainty as to what may have led, it turned out successful.

The 2 Fast 2 Furious actor reportedly was by his daughter alongside Samantha who had prayed and walked with Soraya Lee Gibson through her health challenges. Her parents had gone as far as thanking each other for staying by her as well as thanking God for her healing through their different social media handles.

Her Parents’ Marriage Crashed When She Was Barely 3 Years Old

On December 30, 2020, Tyrese Gibson took to social media to announce that his marriage to Samantha had reached the end of the road. He revealed that there was a separation which will be followed by a divorce. Nonetheless, they claimed to stay as friends and work towards raising their celebrity daughter in ways that were best.

As to what may have led to the separation, there are reports that Samantha had filed for divorce in September 2020 and alleged that Soraya’s father had cut her off financially. It was also alleged that he locked Sam and their then 2-year-old daughter out of their home in Georgia.

In his defense, the actor and singer claimed to not have locked his family out. He added that Samantha had caused tension when he returned home from a movie set and also threatened to call the police. Rather than staying home and facing the police when he figured it could lead to something more intense, he headed out of the house.

Their marriage ended with Soraya’s mother asking for $20,000 monthly for child support but Tyrese did not show interest in giving that amount with the claims that it was outrageous.

Since her parents ended their marriage, there hasn’t been a lot of information about the 5 years old. But from the indication of what is released on social media, she may be living mostly with her mother who is raising her as a Christian – a religion that Tyrese also practices.
