The actor has starred in Blockbuster movies like Never Back Down 2, Never Back Down: No Surrender, Blood and Bone, The Commando, and more. He divorced his first wife to marry the love of his life, Gillian White, who also divorced her previous husband, Antonio Brown, to be with him. The two were recently seen at an event where they shared their valuable advice on keeping a relationship healthy.

Michael Jai White is a confident man who has many accolades. He has a beautiful relationship with his wife Gillian White and the two recently gave an interview for the Cheque Runnerz Podcast, sharing what they believe can help build a healthy relationship.

“Stop taking yourself so damn serious, you know? I mean I have a philosophy – if you’re debating with somebody, try to prove them right before you prove them wrong. I love being wrong because every time I’m wrong, I learn something… right? So… just… keep the ego out of things. That’ll help you a lot,” remarked Michael Jai White, answering the interviewer’s question about what keeps a relationship healthy. 

The interviewer then turned to his wife, Gillian White, who was standing right by him, and asked her the same question, to which she replied, “You gotta be honest. You gotta be… like a lot of people put on facades… try to act like something they’re not, but you can’t,… you can’t go into a relationship being that way. You gotta show your true self, you gotta be honest and like let that person accept you for who you are – love you for who you are, you know.“. 

The bond that the Whites share is a pure one; one that is born out of mutual respect and admiration. It doesn’t take much to figure out that the two have been ‘implementing’ everything that they spoke about and living a healthy and happy married life.
