Keenen and Daphne ended their four-year-old marriage in 2005. The reason behind the divorce is quite unclear, though we can assume that it is because of the lack of time they had for one another due to Keenen’s busy schedule.
Despite the separation, Keenen, and his former wife seem to be on the same page, and ever so happy. They both have a mutual understanding and a sense of responsibility towards their children, which is the main reason they still have a wonderful relationship even after the ending of their marriage.
And another important thing is their friendship and comfort level they’ve buildup knowing each other for more than 15 years of knowing each other.
Keenen’s Relationship Status:
It’s a hard thing, divorcing. And it’s even harder to deal with. But that doesn’t mean your life just ended and you’re not a fit person to have another person to love you anymore. And then Keenen found Brittany Daniel.
The two worked in films before so they had a good base before getting into a relationship. They met in 2004, during the set of White Chicks, a film directed by Keenen and starring his brothers Shawn and Marlon and also Brittany. They started dating in 2007 and were together for six years. The couple ended their relationship in 2013 but still remain great friends.
