Many news headlines state that Serita Jakes is leaving Td after learning about his involvement in Diddy’s crimes.
However, there are no authentic statements or notices about the divorce news. Similarly, both Serita and Td seem unbothered by the rumors. Thus, it is more likely to be false news.

In the post, the first lady, Serita Jakes, writes,
This past Sunday was a moment to remember. As I stood on stage, introducing my husband, rock, baby daddy, spiritual life coach, (and my eternal boo!), @BishopJakes, I couldn’t help but get a bit emotional.
