Everything We Know About Anthony Anderson’s Ex-Wife and His Current Dating Status

As of 2022, Anderson is no longer a married man. He was previously married to Alvina Anderson (aka Alvina Stewart), who leads a very private life. While very little is known about her background, we do know that she had a private Instagram account (which has since been deactivated).

Anderson and his ex-wife reportedly tied the knot in 1999. Which means the couple was married for more than two decades. However, their union has since come to an end.

TMZ confirmed in September 2015 that Alvina had filed for divorce due to “irreconcilable differences.” She also noted that they had been separated since April 2014, and she intended to give Anderson “reasonable visitation” rights to see their children. But according to ET Online, Alvina later requested a dismissal of her divorce petition in 2017.

Although they were able to make it work for a few more years, the couple officially called it quits in 2022. Five years after the initial filing, Stewart filed for divorce again. This time it was for real.

The couple shares two children: Kyra Anderson and Nathan Anderson, a fellow actor who you might recognize from the Netflix sitcom, Richie Rich.

When he appeared on The Rachael Ray Show, Anderson revealed that he really wanted his son to be cast as one of his children in Black-ish. He said, “My son is a young, talented actor, following in my footsteps…I wanted him to be Andre Jr. on Black-ish, but my son’s cool factor…You know, he just has a little too much swag, and I don’t know where he gets it from. I sometimes question if he’s mine or not. His swag factor is just off the charts! And we needed him not to be goofy, but just be a nerdy kid, and he couldn’t shake that. And so I couldn’t cast him!”

Anderson recently revealed that he’s now dating after his divorce. He dropped the bombshell during an interview with The Messenger and revealed that his mother is very much involved in his new relationship. He said, “You know, even when I was dating before I got married and now that I’m divorced, [Doris has] always been curious about who this person is, who it might be and all that.”

The actor continued, “But for the most part, she stays out of it. She gives me my space, and she gave my wife and my partner her space at the time, but now she’s nosy, ‘Who this girl you dating now?’ Don't worry about it, Mama. Don’t worry about it...Now they’re friends. My mom calls my lady up now.”
