Matthew Morrison was fired from his role as a judge on So You Think You Can Dance weeks after the show’s premier on May 18. The former Glee star, 43, reportedly had “an inappropriate relationship with a female contestant”, with a source telling People he exchanged flirty messages with the contestant. “They didn't have sex, but he reached out to her through flirty direct messages on social media.
She felt uncomfortable with his line of comments and went to producers, who then got Fox involved. He was fired after they did their own investigation.” Matthew, who played Will Schuester on Glee, has been married to Renee Puente since 2014 and the pair are parents to son Revel James Makai, four, and 11-month-old daughter Phoenix Monroe. Hawaii-born Renee, 37, is an actress, model, musician and entrepreneur.
She appeared in the 2014 film Divergent and has modelled in campaigns for Bebe and Calvin Klein according to her Instagram profile. According to Matthew, he first met Renee at a Grammys party in 2011 and heard her speak Hawaiian slang. He told The New York Post in 2015: “I sang backup for a guy named Don Ho in high school and spent summers in Hawaii.
So, when I heard her speak, I said, ‘Howzit, sistah?’ and she laughed.The rest is history.” The pair dated for three years and were engaged for 15 months before their wedding on October 18, 2014 in Hawaii. The couple welcomed their second child last year after Renee had previously suffered a miscarriage. At the time she wrote on Instagram: “I just went through one of the most vulnerable, raw, massive, confusing, just phenomenal experiences that a woman could ever endure.
