Raven-Symoné Reveals Past Breakup Over Race with Wife Miranda Maday
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — December 5, 2025 — Raven-Symoné and her wife, Miranda Maday, opened up about difficulties in their relationship, including a past breakup related to racial issues, during a recent episode of Ashlyn Harris’s Wide Open podcast. The couple, married since 2020, discussed the scrutiny and negative attention they have faced online as a mixed-race couple.
Miranda Maday revealed that early in their relationship, Raven-Symoné ended things because she “wasn’t ready to be with a white person.” Maday said she was unaware of Raven-Symoné’s internal struggle with these feelings while they were dating, which saddened her when she found out. She expressed regret that she could not have been more aware or supportive of Raven-Symoné’s experience at the time.
The couple also addressed the backlash they have received on social media. Maday shared that she often hears accusations such as being a “gold digger,” controlling, or overly talkative. She described the volume of negative comments as overwhelming and lamented that their relationship is sometimes misunderstood despite their efforts to grow and create content that resonates with others.
Raven-Symoné has publicly asked followers to stop sending death threats and disrespectful messages to Maday, emphasizing that such behavior is hurtful to both of them. The couple has faced criticism in the past, including when Maday was targeted for not being familiar with some of Raven-Symoné’s most popular television work.
Maday expressed surprise at the amount of hate she receives based on her appearance, to which Raven-Symoné responded, “Welcome, welcome, welcome to the party. Welcome to America.”
Their candid conversation sheds light on the complexities of their relationship and the challenges faced by interracial couples in the public eye. The full episode of Wide Open with Ashlyn Harris is available for those interested in hearing more from the couple.
