  • Bernard Jeffrey McCullough, better known as Bernie Mac, didn’t catch his big break until he was in his 30s, but once he had the world’s attention, his talent was undeniable. His wife Rhonda was by his side through it all, from being on food stamps to living in a mansion. Sadly, their love story was cut short. Here’s a peek inside Bernie and Rhonda’s beautiful marriage and an update on how Rhonda has coped with this tragic loss.
    Correction provided by Bernie's brand manager Yvonne Moore: Bernie's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been postponed until a later date

      This is such a beautiful love story of Bernie Mac. It is sad with all his hard beginnings, he couldn't enjoy all the success of his latter life, with his passing at a young age. Yet in his latter life, he was filled, lived a fulfilling life, and that is what counts. "I will make your latter days, greater than your former days, and God did it.
      And I'm glad he had the experience of have a true love mate, in his life, which was a blessing.
      I'm happy for Rhonda that she has found a new love. "It's not good for man, or woman to be alone". She has proven her love for Bernie Mac, and sometimes it just may take another love interest, that will get your heart back to healing again, because I know she was broken behind his death. It was just so shocking, and unexpected, to the world hearing if his death, for one thing his young age, but also because we never saw him sick, just up, healthy, on the go. It was just unbelievably sad.

A year after that, I met my future husband and we've been happily married for 16 years now.

    Bernie Mac was and still is one of the most iconic human beings to ever exist, not only in Hollywood but in real-life. Crazy how his career began to blossomed when he got to his 30’s, especially having remarkable minor roles in films/movies. That goes to show that there isn’t an age requirement for you to be successful. You can be successful at any age, whether it’s in your earlier years or later years. I also love how his beautiful wife was there for him through it all. Even after his unfortunate passing, she has found love again. Wish her and Mac’s daughter nothing but love and blessings in their life. Bernie Mac was an incredible man who left too soon…😔💔😭 his story most definitely deserves respect and the acknowledgment. May he rest peacefully above the clouds with the rest of his loved ones.

When I say she was obsessed with his comedy and of course the children.. I just remember one Christmas We surprised her with the whole dvd collection of the TV show... She was also devastated to learn that he died and just trying to figure out how /why... She would always act out the skits around the house and be so funny😅 she had Bernie's part down packed and walk around talkin just like with The walk and everything which in turn helped her to be brave and start acting herself ❤️Thanks Bernie🙏 for great memories and bringing laughter and love in my household.... I also lost my husband too a few years ago 31 Beautiful,Blessed years. And I also understand where his wife is at especially if you're young enough.. and you really don't have a choice but to start on your own by yourself 😢 eventually you have to continue your life and move forward despite what anybody says..

      Never followed Bernie because comedy wasn't in my interest after Jesus Christ saved me. But I have heard of him. Even now, if I see a comedian on a video, I must quickly turn away (particularly if there's profanity). I grew up listening to Eddie Murphy and used to really laugh. Now, I don't listen to those same profanity filled skits. Nevertheless, God stills fills me with His joy and laughter.

    I loved Bernie Mac and attended his memorial taken there by a new friend as she always referred to herself. It was beautiful. We sat by Chris Rock, my friend beside him and me next to her. I was a little star struck but kept it to myself. I felt very sad for his widow and family. His comedy and love for his family, friends and fans will live forever.

    I'm very happy for Ronda and that dream was beautiful... He was letting her know its OK.. And I'll see u again one day.

He loved his wife unconditionally so when people criticized her moving on it angered me, because all he ever wanted was for his family to be forever happy and he would have wanted Rhonda to be forever happy❣💯We miss Bernie Mac no lie💜

    I truly enjoyed this bio. You kept everything on a positive note. Keep up the good work. As far as his wife remarrying. I have noticed. When a couple had a good marriage. They do tend to remarry. I'm glad she found happiness once again.

    Bernie was the G.O.A.T. He is missed so much. His wife is an exceptional woman. So very supportive from beginning to the end of his life. I couldn't imagine the love of my life passing away. God blessed her with another husband & I pray they remain happy & blessed. She so deserves it.
