Keenen Ivory Wayans has found love with Brittany Daniel, the young, blonde co-star of his latest movie Little Man. Keenen directed the movie that stars his brothers Marlon and Shawn. Keenen recently reached a settlement with his former wife, Daphne. She is the mother of his five children, and she is finally getting her due. Daphne Wayans was with Keenen for 12 years. They got married in 2001. After two years of marital bliss, Wayans dumped his wife and she had to go live with her mother. Keenen wanted the Hollywood life, and Daphne wanted a home. Daphne Wayans knew she was being dealt a raw hand, and she got herself a top attorney. While Keenen enjoyed life with his trophy girlfriend, Daphne took him to court and she came out victorious. A judge ordered Keenen to buy Daphne a multi-million dollar home so she could raise his children. She also got 50 percent of his business because she was with him in the beginning when he had nothing. He also has to pay child support.

Just an observation here. KIW is 18 years older (i.e. he could be her dad), he's got little going for him (his movie writing/directing has been getting worse and didn't start out well to begin with), he's got kids and an ex-wife (officially?) as baggage. For a single, hot female (I don't think she's ever been married-strange at 30), he is just not a good choice. I'd say the same thing if Gabrielle Union was dating him. But Daniel's career isn't doing so well and he's kept her in his last two (very bad) movies.

On a side note, it's pretty pathetic how easily Hollywood marriages break up. The national divorce rate is around 50%, but Hollywood has to be more like 80% or more.
