The couple met as students at Western Michigan University, but it wasn't love at first sight for Rebecca. "He almost got stuck in the friend zone," she told E! News. "He was a little too nice." Luckily, Terry was able to win her over, and they married in 1990 and now have five children: Naomi, Azriel, Tera, Wynfrey, and Isiah (per People). Fans got to know the family on their BET reality show, "The Family Crews," which aired for two seasons (per IMDb). 

Rebecca has also continued to build her music career. She studied piano and voice as a child and appeared in several musical theater productions in college. She released the singles "I Keep Holding On" and "Destiny" in 2018 under the pseudonym Regina Madre (per Black Girl Nerds). "I wanted to see if I can find an audience who will like my music, without knowing anything about me," she explained. "To hear the music without prejudice of status, relationships, or race. I wanted to put the music out and see who likes it."
