Damon Wayans Sr. Revealed He Once Dated His Nephew’s Ex-Girlfriend

Damon Wayans Sr. revealed that his family can take the concept of sharing to another level.

During his interview on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, Waynans did not see anything wrong with dating his nephew’s former girlfriend. Sharpe expressed his dismay at Wayans’ revelation.

“Hold on, this can’t be true, that you dated the same woman as your nephew once?” Sharpe asked.. “Yeah, I was in love with her, that’s the thing,” Wayans replied “You ain’t never did the Jackson Five?”

“Hell no! I mean, for a family member, that’s off-limits, Damon,” Sharpe responded.

“No, but it wasn’t like they were in love,” Wayans continued, “Do you know how small the pool is out here in Cali? The dating pool. This was probably 2001-2. … I got divorced, and I was by myself for two years. And then I saw her and I was just like, ‘Oh my God, I’m in love.’ And I found out my nephew had dated ’em. I’m like, you know, ‘What’s up with that?’ He goes, ‘That’s you.’ I was like, ‘Okay, pass the Courvoisier. Let’s go!’ And I went and I fell in love. And it was okay!”

Elsewhere in the almost 3-hour interview, Sharpe brought up his brothers Shawn and Marlon Wayans saying they didn’t earn much money from the hit show The Wayans Brothers. Damon then expressed that he still does very well for his work on My Wife and Kids. The hit sitcom ran from 2001-2005

“It was on a network, right?” Wayans said of The Jamie Foxx Show, which aired on The WB from 1996 to 2001. “I made a lot of money off of My Wife and Kids. I can’t relate to that.”

“With WB, my brothers didn’t really make money off the Wayans Brothers show. Like I said, I made a lot of money from ‘Wife and Kids.’ I still get checks,” he added. “Not to rub it in but I still get checks.”
