Meet RHOBH Star Garcelle Beauvais’ First Husband, Daniel Saunders
Garcelle Beauvais met her first husband, Daniel Saunders, while she was modeling in New York. The two fell in love immediately upon seeing each other. They were married two months later. The couple was married from 1991 to 2000.
Around 1991, the couple also had a baby boy, Oliver Saunders. Garcelle was rumored to take her baby boy with her wherever she went—to photo shoots, on location, and even on planes.
Although Oliver had been on several television shows as a child, he was determined to become a rapper from a young age. Oliver entered the Hip-Hop industry and began making music under the stage name Jayson Rose.
“Blunts and Starbucks” is Oliver’s debut mixtape. He opened for Questlove of The Roots and shared the stage with Talib Kweli, 9th Wonder, and Dom Kennedy.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Oliver married his longtime girlfriend Samantha Saunders. Garcelle shared the happy news as she congratulated the couple on their marriage.
A month before their wedding, Oliver and Sam welcomed a son named Oliver Jr. At the time of their marriage, they already had four children.
Is Daniel Saunders married?

In 2000, after Garcelle split from Daniel, she found love with producer and manager Mike Nilon. Garcelle and Daniel struggled with infertility and after five years of treatment, they had twins Jax Joseph Nilon and Jaid Thomas Nilon in 2007.
After nine years of happy marriage, Garcelle filed for divorce when she discovered her husband had been cheating on her and having an affair with a co-worker for five years.
One morning while Garcelle was using Mike’s phone to call her mother, she saw a text message from Mike’s co-worker saying “I love you.” After discovering he was cheating on her, she exposed his affair in an email she sent to his co-workers titled “What [do] What do Tiger Woods, Jesse James and Mike Nilon have in common?”
However, in an interview years later, Garcelle revealed that she regretted acting so childishly in a fit of anger and rage. The former couple still maintain a good relationship today, co-parenting their twin sons.
