However, the couple divorced in 2012, and Sarah stated on her website, sarahdhenson.com, that she feared for her safety:

“Henson wrote, “I have decided to leave my four-year marriage after professional counseling and sincere deliberation.” There are scriptural grounds for this decision, and I have exhausted all other options, but after repeated transgressions during the duration of the relationship, and for my own and my children’s protection, I have made this difficult decision.”

She continued,

“My ministry and identity have been based around being the best wife and mother I can be. I’ve been attempting to navigate some major domestic issues for quite some time. My marriage, as much as I wanted it to, cannot last.”

Children of Sarah Jakes Roberts

Sarah Jakes Roberts has six children in all.

Sarah was pregnant with a mystery man at the age of 14; this news came as a surprise to the Jakes family. Sarah’s parents were shocked, emotionally heartbroken, and crushed on the inside, but they didn’t back down. Instead, they rose above adversity.

T.D. Jakes, the bishop of The Potter’s House, told her father that the press had flocked to the church to report on the occurrence further. He declined to answer any of the questions, citing a personal concern. It wasn’t about being humiliated or concerned about his image; it was about his daughter’s well-being.

Sarah’s father demonstrated that love triumphs over all.

When asked if she had disappointed her parents, Sarah admitted that she had. She was aware that they had great expectations, and she is now wary of making any mistakes.

“No matter what you’ve done, there’s always a way back,” Sarah explained.

Even though her pregnancy caused difficulties for her family, she believed it was the best thing in the world since she learned how much her parents love her.

Sarah welcomed her son Malachi Jakes after all of her trials.

Sarah and Touré had their first child, Ren Taylor Roberts, before welcoming their second child, Ella Roberts, on February 10, 2016.

Jakes Roberts had a daughter, Makenzie Henson, with Robert Henson, who is now 11 years old, while Touré had a daughter, Teya Roberts, and a son, Isaiah Roberts, from prior relationships (born 2002).
