Debra Denise married BeBe Winans in 1987 and divorced in 2003 after spending sixteen years together. In her marriage, Debra was blessed with two children, Benjamin and Miya Destiny Winans.
Life After Divorce

Romantically, it is unclear if Debra started dating someone else or even married, as she has not put such details to the public. Nevertheless, she was doing well as a single mom, and with a little support from her ex-husband, she could raise her children, who are adults now.
Her Assault
BeBe Winans assaulted Debra Denise Winans in 2009. The two argued over custody issues when BeBe pushed Debra to the ground, and she fell. It was an embarrassing moment for Debra since her children were around as they watched the assault on their mother. Debra pressed charges, and her ex-husband was arrested.

The charges were dismissed in December 2009 as BeBe was asked to attend domestic violence counseling sessions.
