Erica Campbell Celebrates 25 Years of Marriage While Sister Tina Navigates Divorce

Timing is everything — and sometimes it’s just plain awkward. Erica Campbell and her husband Warryn chose Saturday to renew their wedding vows at California Worship Center in San Fernando, California, marking a quarter-century together. It’s the kind of milestone worth celebrating: 25 years of staying committed when so many marriages don’t make it past the first decade. With Stevie Wonder and PJ Morton in attendance, it was a star-studded affair that screamed joy and permanence.

But here’s the thing: while Erica was exchanging vows for the second time, her sister Tina Campbell was dealing with the exact opposite reality. Tina’s soon-to-be ex-husband Glendon filed for divorce last month citing irreconcilable differences, though the split had been coming for a while — the couple separated back in 2024. The juxtaposition is hard to ignore: one sister reinforcing her marital bonds while the other’s are dissolving in court documents.

Erica addressed the elephant in the room with PEOPLE, saying,“Because why would you not celebrate 25 years of staying together?”Fair point. This wasn’t meant as a dig at Tina; it was a genuine celebration of longevity and commitment in an era when those things feel rarer by the day. The vow renewal was always planned, always deserved. Life doesn’t pause for someone else’s hardship, even when that someone is your sister.

Still, the absence of any mention of Tina’s attendance in coverage of the event speaks volumes. Whether she skipped it out of respect for her own emotional state or simply couldn’t bring herself to be there, we don’t know. What we do know is that both women are part of the iconic gospel duo Mary Mary, which rose to crossover fame in the late’90s. These aren’t strangers navigating separate lives — they’re sisters whose professional legacies are intertwined.

The real story here isn’t about judgment or insensitivity. It’s about the messy reality that families contain multitudes: celebration and heartbreak, success and struggle, often happening at the exact same moment. Erica gets her moment. Tina gets her comeuppance from a failed marriage. And the rest of us are left wondering how you navigate the complicated space between your own joy and someone you love going through pain. There’s probably no perfect answer to that question.
