Sherra Wright Husband
Sherra met her future husband, Lorenzen, while he was playing basketball in his junior years in high school. During this time, Sherra’s father coached the basketball team at the same high school where Wright played and he met Sherra. Soon the couple began dating and decided to exchange the rituals of marriage.
But the marriage didn’t work out for the couple and after fathering six children and thriving as a family for about 13 years, the couple separated in 2010. In one of his interviews, one of Lorenzen Wright’s friends named Montae Nevels shared the information with Lorenzen telling him that the reason for the separation from his wife was the lack of trust between the two.
He said Lorenzen and his wife Sherra both feel the same way about each other. He added that Lorenzen worried about raising his children during the time, saying that somehow they would find a way to raise them but would not stay together anymore.
Over the course of their 13-year marriage, Sherra and Lorenzen had seven children, but their youngest daughter, named Sierra, died due to certain complications or health problems. In the meantime, Sherra has kept the details and history of her life a secret from the public.
Only one thing is certain, she wrote a book called Mr. Tell Me Anything which is still available in various bookstores and online applications.
