This led to the attention of other big names, including media mogul Oprah Winfrey, who starred him in her TV movie version of Your Eyes Were Watching God alongside Academy Award winner Halley Berry .

Since then, Michael has acted in over 35 films and TV shows including: Miracles at St. Anna Sgt Cummings (2008), People Are Talking (2009) , Takers (2010), Takers Jake Attica (2010), Margaret Dave the Lawyer (2011 ), Think Like a Man Too (2014), The Perfect Guy (2015), Underworld: Detective Sebastian Awakens (2012) and numerous others. His recent works include Jacob’s ladder , being Mary Jane, and Secrets and Lies.

wife, son, daughter

Michael Ealy has been trying as much as possible to steer clear of the relationship drama that comes with fame. Despite this, the star has a few previous relationships. He once dated American actress, author and singer Taraji P. Henson and also with his co-star Into Their Eyes Watching God, Halle Berry from 2004 to 2005. He had also dated rap singer Eve before meeting his wife married.

The actor married Khatira Rafqzada since 2012. The Secrets and Lies actor dated his wife, Khatira for four years before their marriage. Together they have a son named Elijah and a daughter they recently welcomed. As previously mentioned, Michael has a protective love for his family and children. Because of this, he keeps things about her under the radar.

Wealth (income and earnings)

Michael made his fortune working as a waiter to one of Hollywood’s most popular stars. Apparently, his years of struggle have paid off for the attractive salary he earns. The actor’s net worth is currently estimated at $3 million.

Height – How tall is he?

Michael is 5ft 10″ and is noticeably taller than most actors including Sylvester Stallone who is a ‘tough guy’ in most films but is only 5ft 7″ tall. He also has an athletic body weight (76 kg) which is a perfect match for his height. Other physical charms he possesses are dark brown hair and eyes.
