Trevor and Rufa got married in 2016 and were going through a separation. There have been many reports of them separating. We, however, confirm that no legal action has been finalized. Rufa has had many interviews opening up about the struggles of her marriage. She explained in these interviews that although her marriage was on the brink of collapse, she has no regrets.
“He’s still the best,” she once said. “Some things are just not perfect. But I’m happy that he is still there for our child.”
As she plans to return to the United States to meet family, Trevor is remembered fondly as a man who was not just her husband and father of their daughter but the man who once stood by her side, supporting and loving her.
