Marlon Wayan’s ex-girlfriend, Brittany Moreland, dropped a child custody case she filed against him over their daughter, Axl July Ivory Wayans. According to court documents, obtained by TMZ<\/a><\/strong>, Brittany filed papers to dismiss the child custody case.<\/p>\n

In her original court filing in March 2024, Brittany asked for primary custody of Axl. She also demanded $22,000 a month in child support. But Marlon pushed back and asked for joint custody of Axl. The “Scary Movie 6”<\/em> star said he voluntarily pays Brittany $18,000 a month for the now 3-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The Shade Room<\/a><\/strong> in 2024, Marlon called Brittany “entitled” and said Axl is not a secret. He called out women like Brittany who use a child for a paycheck.<\/p>\n

“All these women having to drag men to court who pay NOTHING towards their children. And here, a woman gets a doctor’s salary and says it isn’t enough? I’ve had two children before this. I’ve never had this problem. I’m a good man with a good heart and strong sense of responsibility, but I refuse to be used and discredited.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The father-of-three continued: “All love, all GOD. The baby isn’t a secret. The mama has been posted. I chose to keep the baby’s private life private. Ain’t nobody’s business. Social media is toxic and dangerous and I’d like to keep her peace.”<\/p>\n

In addition to Axl, Marlon is father to Kai Zackery Wayans, 26. Kai (left) is Marlon’s first child from his long-term relationship with Angela Zackery (they split in 2013 after 21 years together). They also share 21-year-old son Shawn Wayans (pictured right).<\/p>\n

Marlon’s support for Kai<\/a><\/strong>, a female-to-male transgender, earned him praise from the LGBTQ+ community. They say he’s setting a great example for parents of transgender children.<\/p>\n

Marlon said he went from “ignorance and denial” to complete love and acceptance of Kai’s transition. He also discussed<\/a><\/strong> his child’s transition on his comedy special, “Rainbow Child” in 2024. “It’s about my daughter that transitioned into a son,” Marlon said of Kai.<\/p>\n

“My daughter Amai is now Kai and so I talk about the transition \u2013 not her transi-, his, their transition \u2013 but my transition as a parent going from ignorance and denial to complete unconditional love and acceptance. And I think there’s a lot of parents out there that need to have that message and I know I’m dealing with it. It was a very painful situation for me, but man it’s one of the best funniest hours I probably could ever imagine.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
