Former heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson was partnered with a noted pediatrician, Monica Turner, in one of the most famous star-crossed and vividly dense relationships in history.
Their courtship, from the beginning to their eventual split, their marriage was filled with monumental happenings, clashes, and complexities that took the nation by storm.
This extensive piece delves into their marriage and shows everything from their private commitment to one another to the legal and public aspects of rekindling their relationship.
Background Information
In 1990, the heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, now 51, and the pediatrician Monica Turner, now 45, attended a party at Studio 54 in New York City with the actor and comedian Eddie Murphy.
Not long after, their relationship developed into a married couple in April 1997 after a private Muslim service conducted by Muhammad Siddeeq, Tyson's spiritual adviser.
Relationship Timeline
Kids dominated the early years of their marriage, and the arrival of two, Rayna in 1996 and Amir in 1997, meant that family life took precedence.
Despite this, their collective married life was a bed of roses as it spiraled downward to a slew of law issues and personal challenges.
Tyson's incarceration on a 1998 conviction for assault and his subsequent 1999 release put a strain on their relationship.
Major Events and Conflicts

Mike Tyson and Monica Turner were both noteworthy in their own right within their careers and public personas.But what occurred between them, the relationship and ultimately the divorce, continues to garner attention today.
Their marriage and divorce were each highly publicized and covered extensively in the media, detailing the nuances of personal relationships in the context of public scrutiny as a boxing legend married a respected pediatrician.
