Terry Crews' wife has revealed that her marriage to the America's Got Talent host almost ended in divorce three times, but they managed to work through their problems after the actor went to 'work on himself.'

Speaking in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Rebecca King-Crews gushed about her husband of 35 years and how much she admires his ambition and tenacity, but also revealed that life hasn't always been so smooth sailing as they once almost found themselves homeless.

Opening up about the highs and lows of their relationship, Rebecca, 58, explained: 'Our faith is a common ground, so we share those values and even if we don't always live up to them, we're trying. 

'There's a certain kind of person we're both trying to be and then faith in the fact that we chose each other for a reason.

'It's funny because we've talked about this, because we've had probably two or three instances [where] we could have ended the marriage, in 35 years. Each time we were in those crises, one of us wanted out, but the other one didn't, so the other one fought.'

The mother-of-five, who launched a boutique store in Pasadena for her clothing line Rebecca Crews earlier this month, continued: 'So the first time I wanted out, he fought for me. The second time he wanted out and I fought for him, and the third time he just had to come clean about his addiction and I kicked him out.

'He fell on the floor like a two-year-old and begged me not to leave him and I said, "well you blew that, you know," and he went to work on himself and he's a better person, but he can still get better,'

For 30 years, Rebecca Crews stood by her husband, Terry, as he built his acting career. Her support allowed the starring actor to appear in films like “Friday After Next,” “White Chicks,” and “The Longest Yard.”

However, for the Gary, Indiana native, and mother of five, the money, accolades, and popularity that her husband received as a result of his career never reflected their experience while living the Hollywood life.

A fraction of their reality came ahead last year when her husband spoke out about being sexually assaulted by talent agent Adam Venit, back in 2016, on Good Morning America. The incident gained a lot of attention, not only because her husband is a star, but his announcement came during the height of the #MeTooMovement.

As a witness to the incident, Crews says Venit was standing next to his wife when he walked up to Terry and groped his genitals. Subsequently, Terry pushed Venit through a sea of people causing him to fall backward.

“I’m like he’s going to pound this guy in the floor because I’ve seen my husband pound people in the floor,” Crews said. “You know every Tom, Dick, and Harry that wants to try you because you’re the biggest guy in the place, come up on my husband because they think he’s goofy and funny. Well, Terry has never been a pushover.”

Crews says that apparently, Venit didn’t get the hint and tried grope Terry again after getting up from the floor. However, Terry was able to yell out to his friend Adam Sandler to get Venit.

With Venit being the head of talent at William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME), Crews says that she and her husband were intimidated. Venit was a man who could affect decisions that concerned Terry’s career.

After the incident, the couple rushed out of the party drove home. The next day Terry reported the incident to the “powers that be” at WME. Needless to say, nothing happened, and according to Crews, the couple endured ostracism and a little bit of blackballing.

He played Julius Rock in the UPN/CW sitcom Everybody Hates Chris, which aired from 2005 to 2009, and portrayed Terry Jeffords in the Fox and NBC sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013–2021).

He has appeared in films, including Friday After Next (2002), White Chicks (2004), Idiocracy (2006), Blended (2014), The Expendables film series (2010–2014), and Rumble (2021).

Crews played as a defensive end and linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) for the Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers, and Washington Redskins, as well as in the World League of American Football (WLAF) for the Rhein Fire and college football at Western Michigan University.

A public advocate for women's rights and activist against sexism, Crews has shared stories of the abuse his family endured at the hands of his violent father, and was also included among the group of people named as Time Person of the Year in 2017 for going public with stories of sexual assault during the MeToo movement.

Early life and education

Crews was born on July 30, 1968 in Flint, Michigan; he is the son of Patricia Ann (née Simpson) and Terry Crews. The middle child of three, he grew up in a strict Christian household in Flint and was raised mainly by his mother, who was 18 when he was born. His father was an alcoholic and abusive to his mother.

Terry Crews and Rebecca King-Crews have stuck together through thick and thin.

The actor met his wife before he was a football star and well ahead of his rise to fame on both the big and small screens. They both attended Western Michigan University in the 1980s, and while their paths crossed on campus, the chemistry wasn't immediate.

"He almost got stuck in the friend zone," Rebecca told E! News in 2018. "He was a little too nice."

Their relationship eventually turned romantic, and they went on to get married in 1989 and start a family together. After playing in the NFL from 1991 to 1997, Terry pursued acting, and the entire family landed a reality series in 2010 called The Family Crews.

However, Terry and Rebecca's relationship has had its ups and downs. In 2014, Terry got candid with fans in his book, Manhood: How to Be a Better Man – Or Just Live with One, and admitted that he had been living with a porn addiction, which almost cost him his marriage to Rebecca.

The couple recapped their struggles and efforts to improve the marriage in their audiobook, Stronger Together.

"When I talk about forgiveness, I'm not advocating for stupidity, but there is a freedom and a whole new life available to you when you operate in that grace," Rebecca told PEOPLE in 2021.

Terry celebrated Rebecca in honor of her birthday in December 2024, surprising her with a family vacation to New York City that she shared with her followers on Instagram. The couple also rode with the Mayor of Pasadena on their New Year's Day Rose Parade float a few days later.
