The relationship between Jesse Williams and his ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee has been tumultuous since their divorce. The couple first met in New York City, where Williams was working as a schoolteacher. They got married in September 2012 and welcomed two children, Sadie in January 2014 and Maceo in August 2015. Williams praised Drake-Lee for standing by him through thick and thin, but their marriage eventually came to an end.
In April 2017, Williams filed for divorce, sparking a bitter legal battle. He claimed that Drake-Lee was restricting his time with the children and denying his requests to have them stay overnight at his residence. Drake-Lee’s lawyer, Jill Hersh, defended her client’s actions, stating that she was focused on protecting the privacy and well-being of their children.
After a lengthy court process, the couple’s divorce was finalized in October 2020. They agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of their children, but disputes over parenting time continued. Despite the division of assets, Williams and Drake-Lee were unable to come to a mutual agreement on co-parenting arrangements.
The ongoing tension between the former couple highlights the challenges of navigating a divorce, especially when children are involved. Despite their differences, both Williams and Drake-Lee remain dedicated to raising their children and ensuring their well-being.
