Henson, who leads the Women’s Ministry at the Potter’s House in Dallas, was only 19-years-old when she married Robert, who was a linebacker for the Washington Redskins but is now a free agent.  The couple had a lavish ceremony that was attended by a celebrity list of who’s who, such as Tyler Perry, Emmitt Smith, Tom Joyner, and Dr. Phil McGraw.

The pair went on to have a daughter, with Henson already having a son from a previous relationship. At the time, Henson rocked the Christian world when she became pregnant at 14. Ironically, Bishop Jakes is a staunch proponent of abstinence education.

Consequently,

Henson is calling for both prayer and privacy:

Now that it is made, I would ask for privacy while I navigate through this difficult season in my life so that I may now concentrate on being the best parent for my children possible.  Thank you for your prayers.
