Who Is Donald Faison's Wife, CaCee Cobb?
CaCee was born in Texas on December 3, 1977. She had worked as an A&R representative for Columbia Records and later became Jessica Simpson's personal assistant.
They developed a close friendship and became best friends, with CaCee being the godmother to Jessica's daughter. She also appeared on multiple episodes of Jessica's reality series "Newlyweds" and on "The Price of Beauty."
Donald and CaCee met in 2005 when he attended his friend Zach Braff's 30th birthday party. They soon started dating and were together for five years before he proposed because they had no intentions of getting married when they met.
After a long time of dating, CaCee wanted a ring. Even though Donald wanted to go to Tiffany's to get an engagement ring, she convinced him otherwise, and they went ring shopping.
On the day he proposed, she was surprised, but he got her the ring of her dreams, and she said it was the bigger diamond. However, CaCee could not remember if he got down on one knee.
After she said yes, Donald took to Twitter to hint at the proposal. Shortly after, CaCee retweeted his post, indicating that she had said yes to him.
They immediately received congratulatory messages from their friends and fans, including Jessica and Zach, who became their maid of honor and groomsman.
The couple, who married on December 15, 2012, had a Southern-style backyard wedding in Zach's house in Los Angeles.
CaCee wore a strapless Kenneth Pool gown as her father walked her down the aisle, while Donald wore a black Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo paired with a white shirt.
They said their written vows before their teary-eyed family and friends and even jumped the broom. The couple also included Southern dishes like collard greens, fried chicken, and sweet potato pie on their menu.
Since their wedding, the couple has consistently celebrated one another on their social media pages. In one Instagram post celebrating Donald's birthday, CaCee wrote:
"I love you @donald_aison. I am so grateful and blessed to have you as a husband, partner, soul mate and best friend. You have the kindest, most passionate loving heart."
How Many Children Do Donald Faison and CaCee Cobb Have?
Donald Faison has an adorable family and is proud to share pictures of them on his social media page. A month after their wedding, they announced they were expecting a child and welcomed their son, Rocco Faison, on August 15, 2013.
The "Scrubs" actor took to Twitter to announce the good news as he called his son the most amazing little boy. On April 24, 2015, they welcomed their daughter, Wilder Frances Faison.
While CaCee is a mother of two, Donald is now a father of six, as he had three children from his previous marriage and one son from another relationship.
His first child and son Sean Faison-Ince was born in 1996 when he was in a relationship with his ex-girlfriend Audrey Ince. During his first marriage, he welcomed twins, a daughter, Kaya, and a son, Dade, in 1999.
He and his ex-wife had another son Kobe in 2001. Even though Donald mainly posts photos of his kids with CaCee, his older kids appear on his Instagram too.
Donald revealed that he dislikes punishing his kids when talking about his parenting style. He said:
"I'm Disney Dad. I'm the one that you can count on for the laughs and the fun times."
However, he believes it is a horrible quality to have. As his kids got older, he could use his life experiences to make them see why what they are won't work.
Donald also revealed that he is not strict with them, which is good and bad. The actor also said he was proud of his kids' progress.
Donald Faison Was Married Before. What Is Known about His First Wife, Lisa Askey?
Donald's first wife was Lisa Askey, and even though he said they did not see eye to eye on many things, she helped him get his life together. He said:
"I spent money on stupid things. A motorcycle, a big-screen TV. I was lazy, and she straightened me out."
Lisa was a nursing student when she started dating Donald, a broke actor, in 1997. Even though he was famous for his role in "Clueless," the actor had a bad spending habit.
They married in 2001 but divorced in 2005. On March 2, 2017, Donald revealed that Lisa had died, leaving behind their three kids. In an emotional tribute on Instagram, he credited her for raising them into fine adults, and he was forever grateful for that.
He also acknowledged that they shared their love for their children despite their differences. Their first son, Dade, also paid his tributes on social media. He thanked his mother for always being there for him.
On September 17, 2019, Kobe, Donald's son with Lisa, wished his mother a posthumous birthday on Instagram. In the caption of his post, he wrote:
"Happy birthday mom, I still can't believe that your not here with us to celebrate. But we'll celebrate you cause that's what you'd want us to, instead of mope around."
After Lisa's death, the actor spent time with his kids as they went out dining a few days later. His black-and-white Instagram post revealed they were spending their last night in Los Angeles.
Despite the Popular Belief Donald Faison Is Not Married to Zach Braff: Inside Their Friendship
Donald and Zach starred together as best friends in "Scrubs," with Zach as John "J.D." Dorian. Their friendship went beyond the screens.
They met for the first time at the table, reading for the pilot of "Scrubs." In one interview, Donald revealed that the moment he and Zach met reminded him of the feeling he had when he met his wife for the first time.
After their first meeting, they also lived together for one summer in New York, which cemented their friendship. Donald ended up introducing Zach to Ed Sheeran's music.
Despite Zach not liking the music the first time, he is now friends with Ed, which sometimes makes Donald jealous. They have also worked on other projects and live close to each other.
