Bernadette Robi and Sugar Ray Leonard’s Married Life

Robi and Sugar met in 1990 at a Luther Vandross concert and were introduced by their mutual friend Lyndie Benson, as Sugar mentioned in one of his Instagram posts wishing her a happy birthday. He expressed his appreciation to Lyndie for introducing him to his wife 30 years ago.

Sugar, on the other hand, was in a bad place in his life at the time, referring to the situation as “personal hell.” He had just ended his ten-year marriage to his ex-wife Juanita, who is now married to Otis Nixon. He also had two sons from his marriage, Ray Jr. and Jarrel.

Despite the difficulties, Sugar asked Robi out in the hopes of beginning a new chapter in his life. Sugar’s inability to stand her up three times after going through a traumatic divorce must have taken a heavy toll on him. But Robi was not one to give up easily.

Sugar told Robi that he would meet her at the restaurant for their fourth date, but Robi refused and went to pick Sugar up for their date instead. And the rest, as they say, is history.

The couple’s story would be different if it weren’t for Robi’s tenacity. Robi, on the other hand, has a similar story to Sugar about a previous relationship. She had also divorced football star Lynn Swann in 1983, after only twenty-two years of marriage. However, she had no children from the brief relationship.

Furthermore, Robi is known to have had several relationships prior to Sugar, but she describes her romance with Sugar as,

I was smitten by his kind heart. Despite his difficulties, he gave more of himself to me than to anyone else.

After a few years of dating, Robi and Sugar married on August 20, 1993, at Sugar’s $8 million Pacific Palisades estate in front of 250 guests. The extravagant, flashy wedding featured ten thousand roses and a plane flying a banner that read, ‘I Love You, Bernadette.’

The wedding was followed by a lavish honeymoon in a Bel-Air hotel suite complete with champagne, a hundred flickering candles, caviar, and Kenny G music. The couple has two children from their 27-year marriage: son Daniel Ray Leonard and daughter Camille Leonard.

Camille, the famous parents’ daughter, has already established herself in business and made a name for herself. Born Indigo Fragrances, which she founded at a young age, is her own creation. Natural scented candles are made by the company to relax the mind and body. Robi, her proud mother, took to Instagram to celebrate her daughter’s accomplishment and to praise her for her perseverance.

Despite a string of failed relationships, Robi and Sugar eventually found someone to cling to for the long haul. The couple has been married for 27 years and has been together for 31 years, so they have plenty of time to make beautiful memories together.

What Is Bernadette Robi Up To These Days?

Robi, the daughter of Platters original singer Paul Robi and Martha Robi, began her career as a sportswear model. The model, who is of mixed ethnicity, hasn’t revealed much about her personal life, but she’s probably in her 60s.

Although she is best known as Sugar’s wife, she later left her modeling career to devote her full attention and care to her children and husband. Indeed, the dedicated wife did an excellent job raising her children and restoring happiness in Sugar’s life.
