The Let’s Make a Deal host said that he is a “proud father” after finding out his ex was pregnant.

“I’m a lot of things to a lot of people, but so much of my life has been in secret,” Wayne, 52, said in his new show.
During the first episode of Wayne Brady: The Family Remix, Wayne found out that was the father of a six-month-old baby.
When the Covid-19 pandemic ensued, he had an on-again, off-again relationship with a woman named Tina.
And he found out in 2022, two weeks after his grandmother’s funeral, that Tina was pregnant.
At the time, Wayne and Tina had already been broken up for over one year.
“I was floored,” Wayne said when he found out. “It was not on my bingo card.”
“Was I happy? No, because I was in shock.”
‘PROUD FATHER’
However, now that two years have passed, Wayne has made peace with it.
“I’m a proud father,” he told Entertainment Weekly.
“I want him to know that there’s no shame attached to him.”
During the first episode of his Hulu show, Wayne revealed that he has a son that “not many people know about.”
“My family is everything to me but there are some things I’ve never told anybody outside of this immediate family. Like, I happen to have a 6-month-old son that people don’t know about,” he said while in the park with his ex-wife, her partner, and their son.
“Tina and I dated during the pandemic on and off and then we broke up. Wayne Brady has a kid and he has two baby mamas.”

Wayne also shares a 21-year-old daughter, Maile, with his ex-wife, and business partner, Mandie Taketa.
He and Mandie were married from 1999 to 2008.
On the show, Wayne told Mandie about the news, and she wasn’t thrilled because she claims that Wanye and Tina “didn’t get along.”
‘HE’S A BLESSING’
After coming out as pansexual, Wayne also revealed that he was a father again at 51.
He wants to keep Val’s life out of the spotlight and wants him to know that there is no shame in having an older father.
“I don’t want my son’s face all up in the sauce and on social media because he’s a baby and didn’t choose that. But I’m a proud father,” Wayne told the outlet.
“Anyone that knows me with Maile knows that, anyone that sees me with Sonny knows that. I love kids. My son Val is a blessing. And maybe his mother and I are not together in that way, but just like with Mandie, we’re going to co-parent.”
“As much as people have been inspired by my co-parenting journey with Mandie, now they get to see somebody who at 50 can be a father again and approach it with, ‘I’m in it and I’m proud of my son.’ I want him to know that there’s no shame attached to him, so I’m going to speak out loud about him,” Wayne went on.
WAYNE TO GO!
Not only was Wayne hiding his now two-year-old son, but he was also hiding the fact that he is pansexual.
Wayne came out in August 2023, after first coming out to his ex-wife.
“I am pansexual,” he told People.
Pansexual means that he is attracted to anyone, regardless of their sex or gender.
“Bisexual — with an open mind!” Wayne said with a chuckle.
“I love all people equally, and now that includes myself.”
