True Lies star Omar Benson Miller is as sweet as he looks. In fact, he might be even sweeter because he’s still a mama’s little boy.
But who is his mother, Gloria Miller? Find out all about her as you scroll down.
Meet Gloria Miller, Mother of Omar Benson Miller
Gloria Miller is Omar Benson Miller’s mother, and is a regular at the star’s social events. From birthday parties to World Series games, the couple are often photographed together.
According to the actor, his mother was full of “life, wisdom and love”. He was proud to have her in his life and wished her another 100 years.
Omar affectionately calls his mother “Ace”.
On the other hand, he calls his father Alec Miller “Smiley.” But he’s not the only one, everyone calls Alec by that nickname. In a selfie shared on Instagram in August 2021, the actor wrote, “They call him Smiley for a reason… Sunbathing and drinking iced tea with my dad, and we laughed… a lot.”
Overall, Omar has a good relationship with his parents.
For those wondering, Gloria is not related to Forest Whitaker. Because her son looks so much like Forest, rumors have circulated that the two might be related. But in a 2008 interview with ESPN, Omar put to rest the misconception that he and the Oscar-winning actor are related.
Even Wikipedia previously listed the two actors as relatives, but Omar has flatly denied it. “That’s not true. Wikipedia is full of bullshit,” he said.
Gloria Miller Husband And Children
Gloria Miller is married to her husband Alec Miller and has seven children.
Her husband, Alec, was born on August 20, 1938, to a sharecropper family in Mississippi. “He lived through poverty, luxury, wealth, segregation, harmony, the Watts & LA riots, attended #EmmittTill’s funeral, survived Jim Crow, built a business from scratch, and raised a family of seven children of his own, along with a bunch of other people along the way, and throughout it all, he never stopped smiling. He was #AmericanDream,” Omar said.
As for her children, Gloria has sons named David A Miller (born October 1969), Andrew Miller, Terry Miller (living in Los Angeles, California), Eric Miller and Omar Benson Miller.
Sadly, Eric passed away on May 23, 2016, from a seizure. He was a businessman, a father, and a leader. “Whether they were right or wrong, he did things his way. Even in his final days. He never accepted his death or his epilepsy. He knew he could have a seizure at any time, but that never stopped him. Every day was business as usual. I remember him sending me a copy of the ad for his growing computer business and asking me what I thought,” a friend said.
