Tyrese Gibson is a well-known African-American actor and singer, but his private life is marred by two failed marriages, two daughters, including his youngest, Soraya Lee Gibson, and two other daughters. Tyrese’s second marriage to Samantha Lee gave birth to her, and she became well-known because of her father’s work as an actor in movies like 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), Transformers (2007), Legion (2010), Ride Along 2 (2016), and Rogue Hostage (2021).
The age of Soraya Lee Gibson is 4.
Soraya Lee Gibson was born on October 1st, 2018, to Tyrese and Samantha “Sam” Lee, who was his second wife. The first of Gibson’s two daughters and the second born of his union with Samantha is Soraya Lee.
Her parents wed on February 14, 2017, before she was born, following Tyrese’s first failed marriage to Norma Mitchell, whom he married in 2007 and divorced in 2009.
She Underwent Surgery When She Was Just 2 Years Old.
Samantha and Tyrese announced that their daughter had undergone a two-hour surgery in August 2021. Although it’s unclear what might have caused it, it was successful.
According to reports, the actor from the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious was by his daughter and Samantha, who had prayed and walked with Soraya Lee Gibson through her health issues. Through their various social media accounts, her parents even thanked each other for sticking by her and thanked God for her recovery.
When She was just three years old, her Parents’ Marriage Broke Down.
Tyrese Gibson announced on social media on December 30, 2020, that his marriage to Samantha had come to an end. He disclosed that there had been a separation and that a divorce would follow. However, they insisted that they would continue to be friends and work to raise their famous daughter in the best possible ways.
There are rumors that Samantha filed for divorce in September 2020 and claimed that Soraya’s father had financially isolated her, which may have been the cause of the separation. He is also said to have locked Sam and their daughter, who was then 2 years old, out of their Georgia house.
The actor and singer argued that he hadn’t excluded his family in his defense. He continued by saying that Samantha had agitated the situation when he got home from a filming location and had also threatened to call the police. He left the house rather than staying inside and dealing with the police when he believed it might escalate into something more serious.
When their marriage broke down, Tyrese refused to pay the $20,000 per month in child support that Soraya’s mother demanded, claiming that it was excessive.
Where is Soraya Lee Gibson Now?
There hasn’t been a lot of information about the 4-year-old since her parent’s divorce. She may, however, be spending most of her time with her mother, who is bringing her up as a Christian—a belief system that Tyrese shares—based on what is revealed on social media.
Tyrese had equally stated that he and her mother intended to stay friends and raise their daughter together when he announced his separation from her mother, regardless of who she spends more time with.
Her parents are Pursuing Various Professions.
Sam, the mother of Soraya, holds a license as a clinician but doesn’t discuss it publicly. On the other hand, her father Tyrese continues in show business where he began as a singer in the 1990s with albums like:

- Open Invitaton (2011)
- Alter Ego (2006)
- I Wanna Go There (2002)
- 2000 Watts (2001)
- Tyrese (1998)
In terms of his acting career, he made his debut in Baby Boy and two highly successful television series, Fast & Furious, and Transformers, in 2001. Currently, he has roles in movies, documentaries, and television shows. These diverse roles have made him one of the most sought-after black actors.
His movies comprise:
- Rogue Hostage (2021)
- F9 (2021)]
- Black and Blue (2019)
- I Am Paul Walker (documentary, 2018)

Tyrese Gibson has Faced Criticism on Social Media for his New Relationship.
According to rumors, Soraya’s father began dating influencer, businessman, and YouTuber Zelie Timothy. Additionally, according to reports, she maintains an OnlyFans account where she charges $28,99 per month or $78.27 for three months to access her “Not Safe For Work” content (NSFW images and videos).
Even though the relationship was said to have ended around September 2021, as of the time of this writing, they have managed to get back together. However, Tyrese has faced several criticisms for his association with Zelie. Some believe it is childish, while others believe Timothy may be exploiting him for fame.
