James Pickens Jr. is widely known for his character Dr. Richard Webber on the hit ABC drama Grey’s Anatomy. On the show, James is the husband of Catherine Avery (played by Debbie Allen), but when he is not at work, he is a devoted husband to his real-life wife, Gina Taylor-Pickens. Now that James has revealed his prostate cancer battle, he has the love and support from Gina through it all.
Below is everything we know about Gina, their marriage, and their two kids.
Who Is Gina Taylor-Pickens?
Just like her husband, Gina (whose age is unknown) is also an actor! The beauty has worked on several projects including Deliver Us from Eva starring Gabrielle Union, And There Were Four, and The Lion King III: Hakuna Matata. And she is not only credited as an actress but also as a singer; for the hit Disney film, Gina is credited for working on the soundtrack song “Digga Tunnah” in 2004. In addition, the talented lady lent her vocals for the Disney project Sing Along Songs: Brother Bear – On My Way in 2003.
However, it doesn’t appear that Gina continued her work in entertainment after 2004. Although she is no longer seen on screen, she is often pictured all over James’ Instagram, where the Private Practice star frequently praises her online.
Gina and James have been married for 38 years, as they officially tied the knot in 1984!
The loving pair met when they were both struggling actors working in the New York City theatre scene, according to TV Fanatic.
James and his wife have two adult children: Gavyn Picken and Carl Tharps.
