Dating older men like 20 years older is not a thing. I have been there and done that, with a man 25 years older, when I was only 20. That dude tried to kill me with his jealousy, he was cool at the beginning and later turned into a monster, but never again. He cheated continually and excuses me for cheating, just because they are older doesn't mean that they have grown up maturely in their mind.

Omg, my story is very similar to mine. When I called things off this fool followed me ALL day without me knowing. When I finally came home he ran behind me and pushed me in my house and tied me up and held me hostage for 4 hours before the police bust in. He served 3 years. Never again

And the moral of the story is men are men. And women are women. And big are inclined to very problematic behaviours that wreck relationships. No one has a relationship that’s all roses. And this goes for any age. Sin affects all of us equally especially

I loved how respectful the young lady was during the interview. She asked pertinent questions about Kenya's formidable years that helped you to understand The Today Kenya. I once met Gary in my ATL office complex. I thought he was a jerk, but maybe he was just having a bad day. I thought Kenya did the SMART thing... She didn't speak badly of Gary. She gave him his props. I'M GLAD that after divorce, Kenya is feeling restored & moving on! She looks amazing! Çeleste, in the A-T-L ☘️

"Met" implies some type of meet and greet not two residents or neighbors passing each other by happenstance. When you are booked for a public appearance you show up and do your job! Point- Blank- Period! That's why you make more hourly than 93% of the average wage earner in the WORLD! I have a film degree and hate to see people forget where they came from! Tears of a Clown!

The thing I liked most about this interview was that Kenya helped the interviewer get comfortable to ask the questions… It started off like she was scared, but Kenya was like girl come on!! Lol 😂 I like her personality & I’ll definitely be checking out her podcast!
I was sorry to hear of her and Gary's split. I used to watch their show and they seemed to have had such a strong foundation. I wish them both the best.
Kenya is attractive, intelligent, honest, very witty & totally at peace. Look at her. During the entire interview, her eyes never, ever saddened. She is at peace---❤ her vibe & essence is so real. Her honesty about how she ❤s & realized (after the divorce) that she really missed the black man's swag is spot on. HOWEVER, the interviewer seemed VERY inexperienced😮. Thanks Kenya for sharing...& thx to Comedy Hype.

This was such a relaxed and funny interview, Kenya seems very relatabl. I love that she showed a lot of maturity by not bashing the father of her children. I'm sure she has learned more about money now that she's single. We're all a work in progress.
I had never seen this Kenya Duke because I have not been a fan of Gary Owen to know about his life. This interview was recommended to me because I watch Comedy Hype. I'm so glad it did! I LOVE this lady and will research more of her content. She's smart, thoughtful, measured and savvy. Great job in the interview from both parties.

Thank you, Ms. KENYA for producing a "new" version of a DATING SHOW! Life is meant to grow and learn! I predict a lot of laughs and fun! Chiming in from across the water!🎬🎫🎉
I am from Berkeley, Ca. I enjoyed Kenya ‘s conversation. Being from Oakland, Ca., I could see the home girl in her. I do know The Acorn. My dad lived there. I’m probably about 15-20yrs., older than her. I’m 63yrs. I do think she was very funny! I’m glad you interviewed her. Much Love to you!!!
When i saw you with Gary several years ago, i felt the tension. I'm glad you are free and doing what you need to do for you!
Love this woman's energy. Go Kenya. Stay happy 💖
First time on the channel. Definitely loved the Kenya interview!!! She was fantastic and definitely an inspiration for those of us that have been in her shoes (ending long term 20+ year relationships). ❤
Great classy and informative interview. I wanted to see how she was doing because Gary came up because of Katt Williams a few days ago. I’m about to subscribe to her channel. Thank you for sharing she’s very secure and gave gave great advice❤
I really enjoyed this interview, and Kenya is down to earth. Interesting conversation. I will tune in her podcast.
Great interview!!! Love the fact that she's happy and healthy both mentally and physically. I was really sad to hear of the split, however, you NEVER know what goes on behind closed doors. Smart and Beautiful woman. We see you Sis, keep doing you. Yep I'm signing up to the podcast 🥰
But Kenya is not Eboni!!! Eboni is a lawyer and a TV personality….not a wife of a rich man. Funny how men could say they won’t date a fat chick, a tall woman, a dark woman…..but let a woman say she wants a man who is on her level financially then all hell breaks loose!!!
Great interview!!!!

You missed the whole point. She was there since the beginning was even the manager and was together for 25 years. With no prenup the law says what she should get. She’s right about getting a prenup but telling your partner what you would like if the relationship doesn’t work. Kenya got what she wanted and this is why she’s happy.
Good interview. I think she is cool people. They had at least a 25 year relationship and its over, she not tripping and has moved on enjoying her life.

Gary said in his Breakfast Club interview there were things Kenya was saying to which he said, "I can't be that for you," and he wished her well. So yes, it could be 'personal differences' but it could also just be that with all the trauma he experienced growing up and practically raising himself, the weight of a family on top of a successful career required more resilience and discipline than he actually had. That's just life. Very few people have what it takes. Oprah never married for the same reason.
