LOVE, MARRIAGE & KIDS: ACTOR MORRIS CHESTNUT’S STORY

Actor Morris Chestnut is married with children(take a minute to take that in, ladies). The heartthrob has indeed been married for over a decade to his wife Pam Byse, with whom he has two children named Grant and Paige.

When Morris first met Pam, he said he knew right away that she would make a good wife and mother.

“One of the things that made me truly realize that I wanted her to be my wife is the way she was. She has three older sisters and they have kids. Her nephew was very young at the time, and when we were dating I would see the way she was with kids. I’ve always thought that she was a good person and attractive and all that, but one of the primary reasons why I wanted her to be my wife was because I knew that she would be an excellent mother to my kids,” he revealed in the latest issue of Sister2Sister magazine.

As for his kids, Morris says that he tries his best to teach them right from wrong.

“Just in general, I always tell them when I drop them off to school to be smart and be good people. I have a son and a daughter. My son is 12 and my daughter will be 11 this month. From an early age I would always teach my son, ‘I don’t care what your sister does, you never hit a woman.’ It took a while because kids are kids. But, ‘Never, ever, hit a woman. I don’t care if she does it, you always come tell me.’ I’ve never hit my daughter. My daughter worries about her mother before me. I’m a strong disciplinarian, and they always know certain things are going to get a ‘no’ from me. But when they know they’ve done something wrong they don’t want to feel the wrath of their mother.”

    I think I’ll get over it! I have never seen Morris Chestnut as hot.
    I’ll leave him to other ladies to crush on.

      I agree. He is undeniably handsome, but he just doesn’t do it for me.

      Good to see he is a family man.

    It is so nice to see a young couple making their marriage work and so far no scandal reported. Wonderful!

      Yes Pisces, I agree. He is very private about his personal life. They definitely seem to keep it tight. I am wholeheartedly rooting for them.

    I met him in 2001, he is actually my uncle’s friend. He is really down to earth and a nice guy.

      Snickers,I actually think she is black, or at least she has black in her. Thats what I believe based on her looks lol. But im not one to judge so, “to each its own” I wish him the best non the less.

        Krish I believe you miss my point. His wife is Black. I was just saying that my beautiful black brotha is so fine, I can see why so many non-Black women want our fine Black Men. A sista would have known what I meant

          You must have meant that comment for I HEART BCK because I didn’t say anything about his wife except that she is pretty. LOL

    The children of chestnuts got all of his genes and features it appears. They appear to have gotten any of their moms features. I am sure he would have wanted at aleast one of his children, if that is all they are going to have are two, to look like his wife. Well, maybe their third child will take some if not all of mom’s features.

    *sigh* I don’t lust after this man because he is married but lordy lordy (lol). He is gorgeous but a great actor and I really appreciate his work. His family is lovely. I love what he said in the interview about his wife and on his parenting skills.
