For hip hop lovers, it may be a fun fact to learn that Headley’s ex-husband is rapper Christopher Martin (via New York Post). Chances are, you probably already know who Christopher Martin is – from music or his iconic movie roles. If you’re – ahem – of a certain age, then you’d better not kid or play around, because Martin is half of the famous ’80s hip hop duo Kid ’n Play.
Before he was Play, Martin was a member of the music group Quicksilver and the Super Lovers. At the time, he was performing under the moniker, Playboy. He later met Christopher Reid who was a part of another group, The Turnout Brothers, per All Music and using the name Kid Coolout. The pair initially debuted as “Fresh Force,” but later shortened their stage names and well, the rest is history.

In July 2001, per the New York Post, the former rapper was ordered to pay $159 a week toward the $42,000 of back child support he owed to Headley who is raising their son alone.
