Lisa Thorner’s Early Life and Career
Not a great deal of information is known about Thorner’s early life, as she prefers to keep her personal life out of the public eye. She is known to have worked as an actress and a model back in the day as the source of her net worth, but again there are virtually no details regarding much of her work.
As of late 2018 and based on authoritative sources, Thorner’s net worth is reported to be $20 million. She was able to acquire such wealth from her years working as an actress and a model, but probably more as a result of her divorce from Damon Wayans.

Lisa Thorner’s Personal Life
In terms of her personal life, Thorner is currently single and there have been no reports that she is currently dating anyone, in fact since her divorce in 2000 from actor and comedian Damon Wayans. Thorner and Wayans started dating in 1982, and eventually tied the knot on 24 April 1984. They were blessed with four children, namely Damon Wayans Jr., Michael Wayans, Cara Mia Wayans, and Kyla Wayans. Daymon Wayans Jr., born on November 18, 1982, also become an actor and comedian just like his father. He is best known for his works in “Happy Endings” and “New Girl.” He also later on became a writer and even became a stand-up comedian. Michael Wayans was born on 28 March 1985, and he has also ventured into the world of acting, and has also become a well-known composer.

Their third child, Cara Mia Wayans, was born in 1987, and she is also a well-known actress, who appeared in the movie “Dance Flick” as well as the series “My Wife and Kids.” Their daughter, Kyla Wayans born in 1991, also became an actress, who appeared in the series “My Wife and Kids,”
Thorner and Wayans enjoyed a happy life as a couple at the beginning of their marriage. Unfortunately, various problems and challenges tested their marriage through the years. In 1999, Wayans decided to file for divorce, which was granted by the court the following year. The two stayed married for 16 years.
After their divorce, Thorner remains single up to this day. Wayans, on the other hand, went back to the dating game, and is now enjoying life with Charity Duplechan – the two have been together since 2003.

Quote
1
Television is a thing that people get very familiar with. They want to hear your voice in their head.
2
I was always the class clown and got kicked out of class at least once a day for just being a goofball. Not suspended or anything, just sit outside and look at the tree on the bench. I got benched a lot. You keep one foot on the bench and try to get as far away as possible.
3
Even in real life, sometimes you find that person you click with that you get irritated by every other person in the world but you can be around this person every day and you’d be fine with it.
