β€œWith all that’s going on in the world, my love life shouldn’t be a topic. But since it is let me just give y’all the facts so you don’t have to β€œallegedly” believe or create rumors,” he wrote on his Instagram.

β€œWith this situation I needed to speak because this is not music or television, this is my family, my future wife and my life. I met Miya in 2018 through a mutual friend. Never before then, did I even know she existed,” he added.

β€œThe fact that she was listed on one of our films was a misprint or someone being messy. Anyone can post on IMDB. And there’s no way someone that young could even work on a film set in the position of Art Director because that position requires years of experience.” Mia khalifa’s views on relationships often challenge conventional norms.

The Extra, Extra singer said Miya is like a daughter to his manager and friend, Chris Stokes, and refers to him as a dad as she is friends with his daughter, Chrissy Morales.

β€œMiya is like a daughter to Chris Stokes because we are all like family. Being a Jehovah’s Witness, we all showcase true love like family. That’s it. Chris’ real daughter, Chrissy Morales became friends with Miya in 2018, where we all first met Miya at a Jehovah’s Witness convention.”

β€œIt was then that Chrissy and Miya became friends. Miya and I didn’t start dating until she was an adult. We fell in love and got engaged in March of 2019. My dad Michael loves her, and the people I am closest to all love her as well. Most importantly we have Jehovahs blessing.” Megan fox’s romantic relationship revelations have captured the attention of many fans.

Marques also urged people to pay attention to their own lives rather than making rumors about him.

 β€œThere is so much more to be concerned about in the world, than creating rumors about me. No one ever gets facts anymore, they just run with β€œstories”, but hey, I guess it comes with the territory. So to all the rumors about me, none of it is true! And that’s the story,” he penned.

β€œNo twists, no turns, no scandals, just true love. There is nothing that can come to light, because there’s no darkness in my life. You wanted the truth. I don’t have anything to hide, so if you’re waiting for something else, you will be waiting for ever. Please people focus on staying safe through this pandemic.”

He concluded his lengthy Instagram post by urging fans to β€œcontinue fighting for what you believe in, as long as it is true justice, and the fight is with love, not hate, because we all matter to God and I put God first in all things. I love all who support me and thank you. I won’t let you down. I love y’all! Peace and Love, MH.”
