Mekhi Phifer has been busy promoting his latest movie “Divergent”. He recently stopped by The Wendy Williams show to promote the movie and to discuss about his personal life. I have been a fan of Mekhi since his movie ‘Paid in Full’. It is one of the movies I keep in my collection and can watch over and over . Plus he is still handsome as ever. I have never met him; put I’m sure we will cross paths soon.
Some of you may be shocked to find out how cool and laid back Mekhi is.
Here are (6) Fun Facts about the star.
(1) He is the father of (2) Boys ages 14 and 6. P.S. I wonder if he would be strict on his daughter, if he had one…hmm
(2) He donates to the Goodwill. This is something I am shocked to hear. Most stars donate to charities and auctions. Guess he really is simple. P.S. Can you imagine working at the Goodwill and Mekhi pulls up and unloads his trunk? IKR
(3) He wears a size 12 in shoes. No comment.
(4) He is great friends with comedian and superstar Kevin Hart and TV Judge Mathis. Judge Mathis officiated his wedding last year. March 30, 2013, Phifer wed his long time girlfriend Reshelet Barnes, in Beverly Hills, California.
(5) His mother, Rhoda Phifer, was a high school teacher.
(6) He has several music video appearances under his belt:
- “Many Men (Wish Death)” by 50 Cent
- “The Boy Is Mine” by Brandy and Monica
- “Don’t Let Go” by En Vogue
- “Nobody” by Keith Sweat featuring Athena Cage

- “Wu Wear” by Wu-Tang Clan
- “Just Lose It” by Eminem
- “Lose Yourself” by Eminem
