Lori McCommas' Photo -- Terrence Howard's Estranged Wife -- and the Picture of a Tumultuous Marriage as the Actor Says No Sex Till He Remarries

Everybody wants to know more about Lori McCommas, the estranged wife of Terrence Howard. That's because Terrence Howard has been in the news a lot lately, and photos of his wife, Lori McCommas - from whom Terrence is now separated - are hard to come by.

But people want to know much more about the woman who snagged the beautiful, intriguing actor behind these piercing hazel-green eyes. According to Howard's IMDB bio, Lori McCommas was married to him from 1989 until 2003, when they were divorced.

Lori McCommas and Terrence Howard - parents of three children -- then remarried in February 2005, but are currently separated.

Who is the mysterious Lori McCommas and what does Terrence Howard say about her race?

You can't find much about how Lori McCommas and Terrence Howard met -- other than a snippet that says as a college student, Howard got a White girl pregnant.

"Because of my upbringing, I married her 'cause that's what you do," he said in the April 2007 of Essence. "And if it had been a Black woman, I would've married her."

You will find much emphasis around the net on Lori McCommas' race as a "white Jewish woman," which is what most folks want to know upon seeing photos of the couple's pretty, multi-racial children.

About the interracial issue, Terrence Howard defends the fact that he has tried to date black women.

"I tried to talk to Halle for a bit. Didn't call me back," Terrence confessed. "Tried to talk to Gabrielle Union. Didn't call me back, either."

Finally, Terrence surmised the reason for the criticism against his relationship choices: "I've heard it said that I only date White women. The only woman I really love is my wife, and she happens to be White. Who gives a damn? A lot of Black women get upset. You know, the fact is, we are human beings."

Terrence Howard -- who reportedly lives in a house that was part of the Underground Railroad in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, a small town outside of Philadelphia -- made no secret of the fact that he wanted Lori McCommas back badly after they split.
