After Williams filed for divorce from Drake-Lee in 2017, he asked the judge to grant him joint physical and legal custody of their two children, Sadie and Maceo. Per E! News, after a monthslong court battle, in March 2018, a judge granted the pair joint custody. Williams sees his children every other weekend and two days during the week as well as on Father’s Day. He was previously ordered to pay Drake-Lee more than $50,000 in spousal support each month.
Rooks, meanwhile, has gained notoriety in the sports world for her YouTube series and podcast Timeout with Taylor Rooks. She’s interviewed guests including Meek Mill, Dion Waiters and Dwyane Wade. If the rumors are true and these two are a couple, then we wish Rooks and Williams the best!
