Tamara Tunie Divorce: ‘Law & Order: SVU’ Star Splits With Husband Of 23 Years

Tamara, who plays Dr. Melinda Warner on the long-running TV cop drama series, will soon be a single lady according to TMZ

So what’s at stake if the Tony Award winning actress and the jazz musician do divorce? For starters, all of Tamara’s profits from her active TV career on shows such as As the World Turn and NYPD Blue.

And, while we are sure Tamara’s head is turning about this huge change in her life, it’s fortunate that her and Gregory are reportedly not fighting as of now.

Despite that there is no signs of a prenup between the couple, who never had children, Tamara and Gregory sound “pretty amicable,” reports TMZ.  But, will the former soap opera star get a dose of drama as this divorce develops? Only time will tell.

Tamara Worked Hard To Make Her Marriage Last

Back in Oct. 25, 2012, the actress was featured on Essence.com dishing on her secrets to a successful marriage. In the article she even said that her relationship with Gregory, her best friend, gets better every year.

“You have to continue to grow and evolve as individuals in order for your marriage to evolve. It takes two pillars to support a structure. If those two pillars become one, you have a structure that teeters,” added the actress.

Well, it looks like this marriage not only teetered, but sadly came crashing down after all of this time.
