Marlon Wayans remains silent as woman demands primary care and financial support after claiming he is the father of her 1-year-old daughter
Quiet rumors that Marlon Wayans fathered a 3rd child in the last two years have surfaced again. Speculation that the “White Chicks” actor would add to his brood first surfaced online in September 2022, when a woman identified as Brittany Tarajha shared maternity photos showing a person almost indistinguishable from Wayans.
Dressed in a black, sheer lace gown, the first-time mom stood next to the In Living Color alum, placing her hand on her stomach. In the two published photos, the actor has his back to the camera, showing only his side profile, which for a lot of was enough evidence to discover him as the father. “Ray Charles sees it’s Marlon,” one person wrote at the time.
According to Tajajh RadarOnline, recently filed a motion to ascertain Marlon as her 1-year-old daughter, Axl July Ivory Wayans, as the father, and to approve a custody agreement. According to the website, he is searching for primary physical and legal custody and to grant the slapstick comedian visitation rights. The application also features a request to cover “reasonable expenses related to pregnancy and childbirth.”
Brittany Tarajha also claims that Marlon earns $200,000 a month and is asking for financial support. She says her monthly expenses total $21,000, including $5,000 for rent and $9,000 for child care, groceries and related living expenses. The actor’s response to the petition has not been made public.
When the news about the baby spread, people wrote comments such as: “I follow him. He didn’t mention anything about it. But it’s good for him that he wants to maintain his life private. Congratulations.” Currently, the artist still has not confirmed the claims that he is the father, let alone that he had a relationship with the registered nurse.
Although Tarajha has since made her Instagram account private, the public still has access to it ICT Tok on her account, where she posted 4 videos in August 2018. In the “Freaky Friday” post, she is seen in the lounge of a house with exposed beams that appear to precisely match Marlon’s home in the Los Angeles area.
He appeared at this location during a live-streamed game of charades in 2022, where he claimed the mansion as his own. Apart from this detail, the mother of one of the children has no public or current evidence to link them.

He has a son, Shawn, and a daughter, Amai, who, as he revealed in 2023, has undergone a change and now identifies as a young man named Kai together with his ex, Angela Zackery. The former couple were together from 1992 to 2013.
