Sad to hear the news — Sarah Henson, the youngest daughter of Bishop T.D. Jakes, has decided to divorce her husband after 4 years of marriage to Robert Henson, a former linebacker for the Washington Redskins.
Henson opened up about her marriage with EEW Magazine back in July, calling the marriage “hard.”
Sarah Henson also released an official statement:
I have built my ministry and identity around being the best wife and a mother I can be. For quite sometime I have tried to steer through some serious troubles at home. As much as I wanted my marriage to last, it cannot. After professional counseling, and prayerful consideration I have decided to end my four-year marriage.
There are biblical grounds supporting this decision and I have attempted every other recourse but after multiple infractions over the course of the union, and for my personal safety and that of my children, I have come to this painful decision. 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.
Sarah Henson met Robert when she was 19 and had an extravagant wedding ceremony in 2008. At the time, Robert Henson was a student at Texas Christian University.
