Torrei Hart Defends Decision To Keep Ex Kevin’s Name: “Cause It’s Mine, First Of All”
Torrei Hart is defending her decision to keep her ex’s surname!
Kevin and Torrei tied the knot in 2003 and they share two children, Hendrix and Heaven. Since their 2011 divorce, Torrei has tried to maintain an amicable relationship with Kevin for the sake of their children. He is now married to Eniko Parrish who share two children together.
While leaving LAX on Tuesday, @toofabnews stopped the star to ask a few questions. Torrei spoke about why she hasn’t changed her name yet since splitting from the comedian. She explained, “Cause it’s mine, first of all,” she declared. “Second of all, ’cause Kevin never asked for it back — he don’t want [me] to give it back, he’s not trippin’.”
She added, “And third of all, my kids don’t want me to change my name. That’s something that people always ask me,” she continued, “and I’m like: That’s my name — get over it! They’re gonna always have something to say, but I’m gonna be a Hart until I decide not to be. And that’s just what it is.”
Torrei who’s also a comedian and actress said having that last name hasn’t given her any kind of major pull: “I do the work, I hustle every single day. So I can have the Hart name all day, but if I’m sitting on my ass and not working, you think people are gonna give me opportunity? I get opportunity because I get out there; I network, I’ve been training, I put in the word — Like ‘Yo, this project looks like it could fit me.’ Like, I hustle.”
