Well, now, if we’re talkin’ about Mike Tyson’s first wife, that would be Robin Givens, and let me tell ya, it ain’t no simple story. It all happened way back in the late ’80s, and boy, it sure got a lotta people talkin’. Mike Tyson, the famous boxer, married Robin Givens in 1988, but their time together sure wasn’t long. They only lasted a year before things started goin’ south real fast.
Now, Robin, she was a well-known actress, see? She was in a TV show called Head of the Class, which was pretty popular back then. But Mike and Robin’s marriage, well, it was full of drama. I reckon it was one of them things where the media just couldn’t stay outta it. It was all over the news, and folks were gossipin’ like you wouldn’t believe.
The couple didn’t waste much time. They got hitched just a short while after they started datin’. They only knew each other for about 11 months before they walked down the aisle. Robin, she was 24 at the time, and Mike, he was just 22. Now, I don’t know how much love was in the air, but from what I’ve heard, they rushed into that marriage because Robin was sayin’ she was pregnant. But I ain’t too sure about all that. They didn’t have no children together though, despite what some people might’ve thought.
There ain’t no doubt, things weren’t lookin’ too good between them right from the start. I heard Tyson himself say that they were always arguin’, and it didn’t take long before the trouble started. He claimed Robin wasn’t just bein’ mean but even started takin’ digs at him in public. And if you ask me, when things start playin’ out like that in front of everyone, it’s usually a sign it ain’t gonna last. And sure enough, it didn’t.
From what I understand, Mike was just comin’ up in the boxing world at the time, still tryin’ to figure out his life and all. But Robin, she was already a star, and maybe their worlds didn’t mix too well. Things got so bad that Mike even said once that their marriage felt more like a trap than any kind of love story.
Things got uglier when they split up in 1989. The divorce was messy, and folks were talkin’ about everything from abuse to bad mouthing each other in the papers. Mike Tyson, he even said that his time with Robin made him real angry, and he had a tough time dealin’ with it. It was a real sad chapter for both of ’em, if you ask me.
Now, after the divorce, Robin went on to keep doin’ her thing in Hollywood, and Mike, well, he kept on fightin’. He found himself another woman down the road, and we all know how that goes. But I reckon it was a hard time for both of ’em, tryin’ to move on after all that mess. Neither of ’em ever really got away from the stories that kept followin’ them, though. The media just wouldn’t let up, always remindin’ folks of that rocky marriage.
So, if you’re wonderin’ what happened to Robin after that, well, she stayed in the limelight. She had her own struggles too, but she didn’t let it stop her from keepin’ her career goin’. She did a few more movies and even wrote a book later on. As for Mike, well, he had his ups and downs, but he did find peace later on, or so it seems.
All in all, that marriage between Mike Tyson and Robin Givens, it was a mess, no doubt about it. But sometimes life ain’t as pretty as it seems on TV, and it sure wasn’t pretty for them. But hey, they both moved on in the end, and that’s what matters. Just goes to show, sometimes things don’t always go the way we want ’em to, no matter how big you get or how much money you got in your pocket.
