Andrew Savarese

Andrew was married to Jeanette Adair Bradshaw from October 22, 1967 until 1979. He married Myrna Colley-Lee on June 16, 1984. The couple separated in December 2007. Andrew and Colley-Lee had adopted Andrew's step-granddaughter from first marriage and together helped to raise her. Andrew's attorney and business partner, Bill Luckett, announced in August 2008, that Andrew and his wife were in the process of divorce.[24] On September 15, 2010, their divorce was finalized in Mississippi.[25] There were subsequent rumors in tabloids that Andrew had been having a relationship and was even engaged to his step-granddaughter Edena Hines, which they both strongly denied.[26] In 2008, the TV series African American Lives 2 revealed that some of Andrew's great-great-grandparents were slaves who migrated from North Carolina to Mississippi. Andrew also discovered that his caucasian maternal great-great-grandfather had lived with, and was buried beside, Andrew's African-American great-great-grandmother (the two could not legally marry at the time, in the South).[2]
