Norma Gibson Biography

The details of Gibson’s birth and early life are not available in the media. However, only a portion of her early life is known. Norma Gibson’s exact birthday has yet to be determined, but we do know that she was born in the 1980s and will be in her early 40s in 2021.

Furthermore, there has been some confusion about her birthplace, as some online sources claim she was born in London, UK, while others claim she is American-born. However, when Norma mentioned that she is a British citizen, it was a subtle hint that she was born in the United Kingdom. Whatever the case may be, she is Jewish and hails from the Asian country of Israel.

Norma Gibson And Tyrese Gibson Divorce

Many of you may be aware that Norma previously married actor and singer Tyrese Gibson. The couple’s relationship was kept private until they filed for divorce in 2009. There isn’t much information available about their marriage. However, it is known that they married in 2007 and divorced in 2008, before they had been married for a year.

During their brief marriage, the ex-couple also had a daughter, Shayla Gibson. On July 11, 2007, they welcomed their first child, a daughter. Shayla will be 14 years old in 2021. Tyrese celebrated her 14th birthday with a sweet Instagram post.

Norma Gibson And Tyrese Gibson Fight For The Custody Of Daughter

As previously stated, Norma Gibson and her ex-husband Tyrese have been heavily involved in their daughter Shayla’s custody battle. After less than a year of marriage, they filed for divorce in October 2008, and in early 2009, Norma filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles court seeking a modification of their custody arrangement as well as a change in spousal and child support.

Norma stated in court documents that Tyrese was an absentee father who did not support her or their daughter Shayla.

Norma Gibson Got Restraining Order Against Him

In 2017, Norma obtained a temporary restraining order against Tyrese, which barred the singer from seeing her or their daughter. Gibson was granted the restraining order after accusing him of abusing their daughter.

She claimed that her ex-husband hit their daughter “12 to 16 times,” causing her daughter to tell her mother that she couldn’t sit because of the pain. Shayla told Norma, “Mum, Dad beat me so hard that it hurts when I sit down.”

Gibson, on the other hand, later violated the order by hiring a plane to fly a banner over their daughter, Shayla’s, school. Norma Mitchell Gibson filed a police report following the incident.

Norma Gibson Claimed Her Ex-Husband Had Bipolar Disorder.

While accusing Tyrese of being abusive to their daughter, Norma also stated that Tyrese had been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and manic behavior by psychotherapists.

Furthermore, Gibson stated that her ex was prone to “beating on the people he is in conflict with,” and that he had hit her several times, even while she was pregnant with their daughter.

Meanwhile, Norma’s lawyer told People that all Norma wanted was for Tyrese to receive psychotherapy so that her daughter could have the relationship she deserves with her father.

The Fast and Furious star, on the other hand, told People that the allegations were false and hurtful. He was disappointed to learn that his child’s mother made “gross and false” accusations against him. He continued,

“There is nothing I love more in this world than my daughter, and I would never do anything to jeopardize her happiness or well-being.” Co-parenting is difficult, and it’s unfortunate when your partner tries to sabotage the situation by telling hurtful lies and acting irrationally.”

Meanwhile, Shayla’s custody was granted to both of her parents by a Los Angeles court in November 2017. According to reports, Judge Shelley Kaufman found no evidence of abuse against Shayla. In fact, Kaufman stated that the parents should resume shared custody of their baby girl in January 2018.

Norma Gibson Refused To Work Alone

Norma and Tyrese divorced over a decade ago, but their legal battles continue. In November 2018, their disagreement over Norma’s refusal to work made headlines.

Even after the court-ordered Norma to work and become self-sufficient, she showed no interest, prompting the singer to file a lawsuit. Tyrese’s attorney stated at the time that Norma felt no obligation to find work and contribute to their child’s upbringing.

The lawyer went on to say Tyrese, Norma would assume, would simply pay for everything because he was wealthy. Tyrese, on the other hand, was going through a financial crisis at the time, which was well-documented in the media.

Meanwhile, TMZ reported that while the Fast and Furious star was not refusing to pay child support, he was fighting her request to pay her attorney’s fees. However, the actor also requested that his ex-wife provide receipts for childcare costs of $25 per hour.

Did Norma Gibson Remarry?

To be honest, Norma has kept her life out of the spotlight since her divorce from Tyrese. She has also made headlines several times during this time due to her and Tyrese’s custody battle for their only child. She hasn’t, however, spoken publicly about her life after divorce.

Furthermore, the ex-celebrity-spouse is not active on social media, which has kept her out of the public eye. Norma Gibson is currently unmarried, as far as we know. Furthermore, there has been no news of her dating a guy since her divorce.

Meanwhile, her ex-husband Tyrese remarried following their divorce. Tyrese began dating Samantha Lee after his first divorce in 2009. They dated for a while before getting married on February 14, 2017. On October 1, 2018, the ex-couple gave birth to a daughter named Soraya Gibson.

But, like his first marriage, Tyrese’s second marriage to Samantha was doomed to fail. They divorced in 2020, after being married for more than three years. Samantha filed for divorce in September 2020, according to TMZ, but Tyrese only announced the bad news in December 2020 via a social media post.
