Kel Mitchell, the former Nickelodeon star known for his roles in All That, Good Burger, and Clifford the Big Red Dog, has recently made headlines as he reconnects with his former co-star, Kenan Thompson, for the making of Good Burger 2 in 2023. Fans have been eager to learn more about Mitchell’s personal life, particularly his ex-wife, Tyisha Hampton.

Hampton, also an actress, writer, and producer, made a name for herself with roles in TV series like City Guys and Cousin Skeeter. She even worked alongside Mitchell on various projects, including the cult classic film Ganked and the children’s animated series Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Despite their creative collaboration, Mitchell and Hampton’s marriage only lasted six years, ending in 2005. After their divorce, Mitchell found solace in his faith and forgiveness, which he publicly shared on a podcast in 2024.

Mitchell then moved on to marry rapper Asia Lee in 2012. Together, they have two children, Honor and Wisdom. However, Mitchell’s relationship with Hampton took a legal turn in 2023 when she claimed he owed her millions in unpaid child and spousal support. A judge later ruled in Mitchell’s favor, resolving the financial dispute.

The couple also shares two children, Lyric and Allure, who had cameo roles in Mitchell and Hampton’s film Ganked. While Mitchell strives to be a positive role model for his kids, his relationship with his older children seems strained, as revealed in a series of now-deleted TikTok videos by his daughter, Allure.

Despite the ups and downs in his personal life, Kel Mitchell continues to captivate audiences with his talent and resilience, both on and off the screen. Fans can’t help but root for his journey of growth and self-discovery in the ever-evolving landscape of Hollywood.
