They say the third time is a charm. But actor Terrence Howard would beg to differ. The Empire star has secretly divorced his wife, Mira Pak, on Monday July 27, making this his third divorce. Legal documents obtained by the New York Daily News state that Pak, 38, initiated the divorce proceedings in March, citing irreconcilable differences. At the time, Pak was pregnant with their first child. Their son, Qirin Love, was born in May. Howard publicly claimed that he was doing his share of baby duty. But the divorce papers suggest otherwise. In fact, Pak said the the documents that she and the 46-year-old actor had been living separately since August 2014. The details about Howard’s third divorce became public during the closing arguments of a separate court case related to his second wife, Michelle Ghent , on Monday, August 17. Howard and Ghent’s court case is related to his ongoing appeal to overturn the 2012 settlement with his former wife. The Oscar nominated star claims his ex blackmailed him. He claims his ex-wife threatened to release humiliating recordings of him dancing naked and having phone sex with other women if he didn’t agree to the divorce settlement. Ghent’s lawyers claimed that her actions were just one side of a troubled relationship; Terrence claims she threatened to kill him . Pretty standard. It was during Howard’s testimony that the judge referred to Pak (who was standing by Howard’s side in court last week) as his “ex-wife.” The comment came up during recordings of a conversation between Howard and Ghent in October 2013. In the recording, Howard claimed he still loved Ghent, even though he had recently married Pak. “I will never love someone like I loved you,” Howard said to Ghent during the October 2013 call. “You are my dream of all time.” Ghent maintains the the phone call is clear evidence that she did not extort him. Of course, Howard believes otherwise and insists that their relationship was complicated. “I loved her, and I was afraid of her also,” he testified Monday. The ruling on the case is due early next week.
