Norma Gibson is best known as the former wife of actor and R&B singer Tyrese Gibson. Tyrese is a multi-talented entertainer, known for his work as a singer, songwriter, author, model, and television producer. He gained widespread fame for his role as Roman Pearce in the blockbuster Fast & Furious franchise.
Norma Gibson and Tyrese Gibson were married for a brief period before finalizing their divorce in 2009. The couple shares a daughter, Shayla Somer Gibson, born in 2007. Since their separation, the former spouses have been engaged in various legal matters related to custody and financial support.
As part of their custody arrangement, Tyrese Gibson was ordered to pay child support. Legal documents from court proceedings revealed that part of the support agreement included provisions for childcare reimbursements under specific circumstances—particularly when Norma was working or pursuing activities that contributed to self-sufficiency.
During a deposition related to these agreements, Norma Gibson was asked to justify $25-per-hour childcare expenses claimed for their daughter, Shayla. According to reports, Norma responded that she was “living life,” a statement that raised concerns from Tyrese’s legal team regarding the validity of the childcare costs. Tyrese sought accountability through documentation, asking for receipts and evidence showing necessity for such care.
A judge later ruled that Tyrese Gibson would not be responsible for covering childcare costs if those expenses were associated with errands unrelated to employment or income-generating activity. The court emphasized that childcare support should align with efforts toward self-sufficiency or employment.
