Jet, July 5, 1993

Billy Dee Williams, long considered one of Hollywood's sexiest leading men, and his Asian wife Teruko Nakagami recently decided to end their 23-year marriage.

A spokesman for Williams told JET "theirs is an amicable parting, not a messy Hollywood divorce." Ms. Nakagami filed for the divorce.

Ms. Nakagami is Williams' third wife. The two have a daughter, Hanako (23) together. Each had a child before marrying each other. He had son Corey, now 32, from his marriage to Audrey Sellers. She had a daughter, Miyako, 31, from her marriage to musician Wayne Shorter.

Despite his dashing and handsome image and reputation, Williams and his wife generally shunned Hollywood gatherings, preferring instead to spend quiet, relaxing time at their Beverly Hills home. No further details were provided regarding how assets would be split.
