RUBEN STUDDARD AND FAMILY ARE IDOLS
American Idol second season winner Ruben Studdard brought his bonus daughter Khobi and his wife Surata along to the American Idol Season 8 Grand Finale held on May 20, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. Seven-year-old Khobi is Surata’s daughter from a previous relationship.
Ruben Studdard’s Fourth Album Love Is is in stores now.









Great looking family, I wish them well, And I hope Ruben go back to Duke and get on that program and lose just a little wait, IF not for health reasons only.
Nice!
Wow Ruben has a beautiful wife! You go
Go head Ruben!!! They are an attractive couple and that little girl is GORGEOUS!!!!!!
Ruben has a beautiful family.
Yay Team Kris!!!!
Beautiful beautiful family! Does anyone know what Reuben’s been up to? I am so sick of people acting like he didn’t deserve his win.
What’s a bonus daughter?
I hadn’t heard anything about him in awhile and wondered if he was still married.
It’s a nicer way of saying “step-daughter.”
What a beautiful family! That little girl is stunning!
She has a pretty little girl.
I think that was Essence that interviewed her. She was saying a friend of hers LOVED him & wanted his autograph but couldn’t call off from work. I think he was appearing at a Walmart or mall. She said she wasn’t even a fan but she did her friend a favor & went to get the autograph. When he seen her, that was all she wrote. I know the friend regrets she didn’t take off (lol).
Oh gosh. So just because she isnt dark skinned, she isnt worthy of being liked by him for honest reasons? That’s stupid as all get out. I’m so sick of light skinned folks being seen as the devil. It’s stupid and silly.
It’s folks that think like Ms. Jessica thats the problem, not the men/women who make the decision to date or marry who they darn well want.
@ Blue
Thanks for the answer but its not working. How about daughter period and leave it at that. Bonus daughter sounds like someone he picked up as a prize.
Maybe it doesn’t work for you but it does for many (including the Smith’s as Trey considers Jayda his “bonus mom”).
If this little girl has a father who is very active in her life it is not fair to him to call Reuben her father when he is her step (or bonus) father.
Question… since when is her complexion considered “light?” I wouldn’t call her medium but I don’t think I’d call her light.
I concur!!!!!
JESSICA stop hating. you can look at that little girl and she is absolutley gorgeous. his wife is beautiful too. dark white black pink we all come in different shades of colors and we are all beautiful. we dont need any negative comments. take that elsewhere.
Nice fam
@ Jessica, Did it ever occur to you to think maybe instead of putting thousands of dollars into a suit, Ruben may have put the money in a savings bond. So he can have some money in the future, weathly people don’t put all their money into clothes that will not be worth anything in the future, Besides the suit looks great to me, Ruben just need to lose a little wait again, If not for only health reasons. I wish them well, Great looking family.
Wow i didn’t know Ruben had a stepdaughter.I bet he’s great w/her.It’s good to see him he’s usually not seen alot.
She is not light or beautiful to me but her skintone wouldn’t have anything to do with her beauty anyway. Jessica girl, u got some issues! I think she is still a good catch for Reuben though.
Even though the Jay Leno (chin) takes away from her looks a bit, his wife is very pretty. I wanted him for myself though. lol
I love Ruben to pieces, and I’m happy he appears to be happy. Beautiful family.
wow some of you have serious issues!
Its spelt WEIGHT not wait btw lol
The wife is very attractive regardless of skin colour, who cares?
the little girl is absolutely beautiful!
omg look at my daddy and my little sister..
Funny comments. He looks like he is happy with her… him??? That is a “drag queen” amount of make up!
everyone should just calm down……she is going to divorce him soon anyway and take most of his money we all know how that goes!
I hope he got a prenup cos i’m TIRED of nice decent rich black guys being taken to the cleaners. It makes us decent women look bad.
BTW her daughter is very cute!
Who said that the reason why she is pretty is because shes “light”? Sounds like a personal complex to me……..and yes there are beautiful women of all shades and sizes in the world and we should acknowledge that and stop tearing each other down. Damnnnnn can we put down the paper bag test!!!!
His wife isn’t hard on the eyes but reminds me of Alice the Goon from Popeye & the little girl is cute (to me). I’ve seen some strange looking kids on here but I can’t say that about her.
Ima pray for you Jessica.
