An OB-GYN (obstetrician and gynecologist) is Courtenay Chatman
She worked as an intern OB-GYN at UCLA Health System in Greater for a year after graduating from Drexel University in 2001. In July 2002, she subsequently began working at Harbor UCLA Medical Center. And then, three years later, in 2005, she started working as an OG-YN for the Southern California Physician Medical Group.
Until December 2011, Courtenay worked there for five to six years, according to the sources. She has also given birth to more than a thousand children over her career. After leaving Southern California Physician Medical Group, she began working as a cosmetic gynecologist at the Aesthetic Center of Santa Clarita. She had previously worked as a physician surgeon at Kaiser Permanente.
It was Courtenay who proposed Jai
Although it is not uncommon, it is still quite uncommon for a woman to propose to a man. According to a survey conducted in 2019, only 5% of women who were married at the time made marriage proposals to their spouses. Courtenay is one of the uncommon women who has been asked to marry a man.
According to sources, Courtenay proposed to Jai sometime around 2005 after they initially met in a gym in 2004. She also discussed the unusualness of women proposing to males.
She was clueless. Jai was a performer
It’s interesting to note that Courtenay was completely unaware of her boyfriend’s profession until they started dating. Jai said that his then-wife was unaware of his acting career until one of her friends recognized him and informed her.
Jai claimed he didn’t want to fall in love with any particular woman, and when he started having feelings for Courtenay, he became so furious that he destroyed his room because he couldn’t stop thinking about her. He was unable to continue to deny it, though. I didn’t want to feel that way about a lady, but I knew I couldn’t ignore it forever, the man admitted.
Only two days after Courtenay asked Jai to marry her, they exchanged vows. On August 6, 2005, they exchanged vows at the Four Seasons Hotel in Santa Barbara. Only two of their closest friends attended their wedding to act as best man and maid of honor. To ensure that their family and other friends could attend, they later rescheduled the wedding ceremony.
Their daughter is shared
On December 24, 2008, three years after getting married, Jai and Courtenay welcomed their daughter Morgan Michelle White. Regarding their daughter, there isn’t much information, though. She is currently 13 years old and will turn 14 this year.
She was reportedly born in Los Angeles, where her father reportedly told her mother, “I’m in love like you would never believe.”
They separated in 2011
Even though they were regarded as the picture-perfect pair, they were unable to maintain their union for very long. About six years later, in 2011, word of Jai and Courtenay’s divorce began to circulate online. According to the rumors, Jai split from his wife because he was seeing Claudia Jordan. We don’t know whether it’s true or not, but it was just a rumor.
When Jai appeared on Tyler Perry’s For Better Or Worse in July 2012, Courtenay posted on Facebook, “Everyone, watch my husband on Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse tonight on TBS, 9 pm.” Despite rumors to the contrary, it appears that the pair did not separate until late 2012.
However, they ultimately got divorced, and after Courtenay’s divorce, White wed American actress Gillian Iliana Waters in Thailand.
Now, where is Courtenay?
According to the sources, Courtenay is currently a resident of Valencia, a section of Santa Clarita, California. Following her divorce from White, she also wed Garret Poucher, a businessman, and proprietor of Garrett Construction. Additionally, he serves as the company’s chief executive officer.
Although their actual dates of meeting and dating are unknown, it is assumed that they did so in late 2012 or early 2013. Mia Mor, born in April 2014, and Lola Kay, born in June 2016, are the couple’s other two kids. In addition, Courtenay is the stepmother of Garret’s daughter from a prior union.
