The age gap has been never an obstacle in their wonderful relationship
#5 Sable Has 3 Children
When Sable married her first husband Wayne Richardson, she was only 20 years old. Even though the marriage lasted only four years due to Richardson’s unfortunate demise, they had a daughter named Mariah. In ten years of marriage with Marc Mero, Sable didn’t have any child because it was the peak of her career, and she was busy making the most of it.
