Indeed, on August 12, 2019, AP News revealed that Kenya was ending his relationship with Rania after 20 years of marriage. AP also noted that the “Black-ish” creator has admitted that the fictional relationship between Ross’ character of Rainbow and her on-screen husband (played by Anthony Anderson) was based on his own relationship with Rania.
