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

For BeBe’s assault on Debra Denise, he was arrested and appeared in court. In his defense, Debra’s accusations were inconsistent; however, he did not want to talk ill of the mother of his children. The charges were dismissed in December 2009 as BeBe was asked to attend domestic violence counseling sessions.

Debra’s ex-husband also had an issue with his former manager Eric Peterson; he claimed that Mr. Peterson breached their contract terms and he also frauded him. Eric used his power of attorney to transfer over a hundred thousand dollars to his account without Winans’ consent.
