Felicia Pearson’s husband and family life explored

Pearson is an openly lesbian actress, and she has embraced her sexuality since her early days. She learned about her sexuality when she was around 12 years of age. While she embraced it, people began calling her various names.

Her uncle also seemingly misunderstood and felt that she needed a partner in her life. So, he set Pearson up with his lesbian friend when the actress was still 12. And while that relationship didn’t work out, it left a fond memory.

Coming back to Pearson’s present personal life, it’s apparent that she doesn’t have a husband due to her sexuality. But does she have a wife? No, Pearson is unmarried and doesn’t have a wife. Then again, is she dating a girlfriend who might be her future wife?

The answer to this question remains unknown, as the actress has kept her love life private. She rarely talks about her dating life in interviews. Similarly, her social media handles don’t give out any information on whom she might be dating.

That said, she was in several relationships in the past. However, there aren’t many details about her dating history, except for her relationship with her now-former girlfriend, Judith Adrienne, also known as J. Adrienne.

Pearson and Adrienne’s dating timeline remains undisclosed, including how and when they met. But it’s known that they appeared together on the 7th season of Love & Hip Hop.

Their relationship wasn’t very stable, and it’s reported that Adrienne even left her son – from a previous relationship – in Chicago to find her lady love in New York. The craziness and instability in their togetherness led to their breakup sometime in 2017.

Since then, there has been little to no update on Pearson’s dating life, and she has successfully managed to keep her love life hidden from the outside world. For now, her fans have to wait until the actress reveals anything by herself.

Now, let’s talk about her family life! Born on May 18, 1980, she was raised in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. It’s reported that she was born cross-eyed, three months before her expected due date, and weighed less than 2 lbs. She miraculously survived.

As for her parents, there aren’t many details about them, except that her mother, Cora Jackson-Pearson, is now dead. It’s also reported that her parents were drug addicts who had abandoned her, leading her to grow up in a foster home and get adopted by her foster family.

Felicia Pearson was a convicted criminal

Pearson didn’t have a stable upbringing, leading her to follow some wrong paths. When she was 14, she reportedly got into a fight with another teenage girl, and it ended up in the now-actress pulling out a gun and fatally shooting her.

For this, she was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. A hearing was called, resulting in Pearson receiving two eight-year sentences to be served consecutively. However, with good behavior, she was released six-and-a-half years into her term.

Shortly after her release, she embarked on the entertainment industry. Unfortunately, her criminal records didn’t stop there. In 2011, she was under arrest in a drug raid, where sixty others were also arrested and charged with drug offenses.

Pearson was initially denied bail by Judge John Addison Howard, and she spent a month in jail. Later, on April 8, 2011, she was offered bail of $50,000. In August, she pleaded guilty to the charges made against her, that too, a day before her trial.

The actress was ultimately sentenced to a suspended seven-year prison term, with credit for time served. She was also given three years of supervised probation, and as she didn’t violate the terms of her probation, she didn’t serve any of her suspended prison terms.
