Before marrying Heather Taras, Daymond John was a divorcee. He and his first wife (whom he refuses to name in interviews) married before the fame and later welcomed two daughters, Yasmeen and Destiny John. The pair got divorced after John became blindsided by his success at FUBU. He confessed during an interview on “Forefront” (via CNBC) that he became an absentee husband and father — to the point where his wife and kids saw him more on television than in person. “Because I was in commercials all the time and other than that I was hanging out,” he explained. “I was so concentrated on work.”

Years after their divorce, the fashion mogul met his future wife. While it isn’t entirely clear when the two first met, Techie Gamers suggests they began a platonic relationship in 2012 before things took a romantic turn sometime later. Although Taras tried to keep a low profile, it is believed that she worked as a registered nurse before meeting John. Growing up, however, she was passionate about modeling and interested in a career in fashion. And while she never became a model, Taras regularly flaunts her killer physique on Instagram, where she’s amassed an impressive 19,000 followers. She also gives a glimpse of her life with John and shows her support for the entrepreneur by helping promote his ventures on social media — from FUBU to “Shark Tank” to his best-selling books and other business projects.
