Wayne Brady has been wowing fans with his performances on Season 31 of Dancing With the Stars.

The actor and comedian has been paired with ballroom professional Witney Carson for the 2022 edition of the dancing competition and they have been seen tearing up the dance floor on the Disney+ show.

Fans are particularly curious about Brady, who is famous for his roles on The Good Fight and Whose Line Is It Anyway?, and whether he is married.

Newsweek has everything you need to know about Dancing With the Stars 2022 contestant Wayne Brady's marital status.

Is Wayne Brady Married?

Wayne Brady, 50, is not currently married but he has tied the knot twice in the past.

From 1993 to 1995 he was married to a singer named Diana Lasso, but while speaking to Closer Weekly in 2019, Brady reflected on how their young age might have led to the downfall of the marriage.

"My first wife is a great person, but you should not be getting married when you're 20 or 21 because you still don't know yourself. I think the lesson was not to rush into things," he said.

Brady then was married to actress Mandie Taketa from 1999 to 2008 and during that time the couple welcomed their daughter Maile Masako Brady.

Maile, now 19, has followed in her actor parents' footsteps and recently played a character called Tiffany on CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

In April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Brady—who is currently single—revealed he and Taketa are still close and were even quarantining together with her boyfriend, Jason.

"My ex-wife Mandie and I, we have a different and I think a very special relationship than a lot of people who co-parent. We've also lived like seven minutes away from each other at the most," he said in an interview with Access Hollywood.

"Right now, we live literally next door to each other. So our quarantining is a little different. We quarantine between both of our homes and I've got a big backyard and lots of land so we both share this land and this space."

Dancing With the Stars continues Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Disney+. The episodes will be available to stream after their original airing.
