In the 2000s, she transitioned into playing the role of Rochelle in the UPN/CW TV show Everybody Hates Chris from 2005 to 2009. Immediately afterward, she played the role of Judi Mann in Happily Divorced from 2011 to 2013. 

Continuing her string of TV roles, from 2014 to 2017, Arnold played Cassie Calloway on Survivor’s Remorse, and since 2018, has been playing Tina Butler on The Neighborhood.

Who Are Tichina Arnold Family?

Tichina Arnold family consists of her parents Diane and Gene, and her daughter Alijah. The actress has also had many romantic relationships.

Arnold was born to her parents on June 28, 1969, in New York City. More specifically, she was born and raised in one of the city’s boroughs called Queens to a working-class family.

Religion played a big part in her life growing up as the actress was raised in the Church of God in Christ, which is a pentecostal church and the largest amongst the Pentecostal denomination in the entire United States. The church is also known for being predominantly African American.

As for her early education, Arnold studied at the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. The institution is located on the Upper West Side of New York City.

Who Is Tichina Arnold Former Husband?

Tichina Arnold former husband are Lamon Brewster and DaRico Hines. Arnold is currently divorced from both of them.

The actress has been married twice in her life, and the two were more than decades apart. Arnold’s first marriage was with Lamon Brewster, which lasted from 1993 to 1997, and her second marriage was with DaRico Hines which lasted from 2012 to 2016.

Lamon Brewster

Tichina Arnold former husband Lamon Brewster is a former boxer. Brewster is best known for holding the WBO heavyweight title from 2004 to 2006.

As stated above, the two were married from 1993 to 1997, and in fact, got divorced just a year into the boxer’s career. Neither party has made much noise about their marriage and subsequent divorce, and both have successfully moved on to form other relationships and even have children from them.

In Brewster’s case, he got married again about three years after his divorce from Arnold to his current wife, Juana Brewster on October 2000. The two have three children together, two daughters and a son, and he also has an older daughter from a previous relationship. 

DaRico Hines

Tichina Arnold ex-husband DaRico Hines is a basketball coach. Hines has coached for Golden State, St. Johns, and currently for Toronto Raptors.

As stated above, Hines and Arnold were married from 2012 to 2016. Unlike the actress’s marriage with her previous husband, her second marriage was rife with drama and debauchery.

Arnold revealed to People Magazine that she was going to divorce Hines due to an infidelity scandal. In fact, the scandal went a step further, and it turned out that Hines had made an intimate tape with another woman while married to Arnold, and the tape was subsequently released to the public without his consent.

Who Are Tichina Arnold Parents?

Tichina Arnold parents are Gene Arnold and Diane Arnold. The couple comes from a working-class background and raised their daughter that way.

As we know, Arnold’s path in life was far removed from what her parents did and how they envisioned it, and she is now a successful actress. However, here is all we know about Gene and Diane.

Gene Arnold

Tichina Arnold father Gene Arnold is 81 years old. Gene was born on July 1941 in New York City.

Gene worked as a police officer for much of his life, and his main area of patrolling was in Queens, which is also where his family lived. Despite having a much different career than his daughter, the father played a big part in her upbringing.

According to AP News, her father taught her that acting is not just acting; that true acting is beyond it and lies with having to deal with people. Later in her life, Arnold would learn that the advice is true as most people who get hired do so because you were nice.

Diane Arnold

Tichina Arnold mother Diane Arnold is 74 years old. Diane was born on April 1948 in Fontana, California.

Diane is a retired member of the sanitation department where she worked much of her life as a sanitation worker. Like her husband, her life-long vocation is far removed from the work her daughter has gone on to do.

However, the actress’s mother played a bigger role in her daughter’s early career than her father. In fact, it was through the support of Diane that Tichina started auditioning and went on to land her first role in a play called The Me Nobody Knows, which took place at the Billie Holiday Theatre in Brooklyn.

Tichina Arnold Sister Zenay Arnold

Tichina Arnold sister Zenay Arnold was born on March 7. Zenay is in her mid-30s.

The actress’s sister is best known for suffering from lupus, which is an autoimmune disease where a person’s immune system attacks healthy tissue within their body, mistaking them for foreign objects. Lupus can be life-threatening.

To that end, Zenay and Tichina have created the We Win Foundation in 2013, and Zenay has worked there since.

How Many Children Does Tichina Arnold Have?

Tichina Arnold has one child called Alijiah Kai Haggins. Arnold had Alijiah with her ex-boyfriend Carvin Haggins.

One of the reasons why the actress has only had one child is due to the fact that for the longest time, she didn’t even know she could conceive because of her many bouts with endometriosis. Thankfully, Arnold was blessed with a healthy daughter and a painless birth.

Alijah Kai Haggins Age 

Tichina Arnold daughter Alijiah Kai Haggins is 19 years old. Young Alijiah was born on March 16, 2004.

Alijiah is following her mother into the entertainment industry but her art of choice is music. However, the young songstress has only released one song called Ultimatums. 

Tichina Arnold Boyfriend

Tichina Arnold boyfriend Carvin Haggins the father of her daughter. Arnold and Haggins dated from 2002 to 2007. 

Haggins is best known for being a part of the production duo Carvin & Ivan. Though they started out as solo rap acts, they eventually found success together, and that too behind the scenes.

The duo has worked with artists like Jazmine Sullivan, Estelle, and Chris Brown, to name a few.
