Wanda & Alex Sykes

Wanda Sykes is an award-winning comedienne, famous for her roles in Monster-in-Law and Over the Hedge. She is a proud African-American who is a descendant of English royalty. Unlike her famous spouse, there is not much information about Alex’s personal life. Before being Skyes’ wife, she worked a regular office job and sold granite countertops. She was born in France and is said to belong to French-American ethnicity.

Wanda and Alex met at a time when the comedienne was having a hard time on her love life. Their roads crossed while en route to New York’s Fire Island. Wanda recalls how she talked about her home and kitchen renovations, even probably talked about plumbing services to the stranger that was Alex.

After what seemed to be a serendipitous moment, Wanda and Alex began dating and eventually took their relationship to another level. The two married in 2008 and are proud parents to Olivia Lou and Lucas Claude.
