People found it strange when the couple was not seen together in public since December 2015. Since then, both actors have made multiple solo appearances at premieres and other events.
Back in January 2016—Torres’ last public appearance with her then-husband—the actress referred to herself as Fishburne’s wife. Later, she quit from “Suits” after six years on the legal drama series because she needed to tend to her personal life. Many have speculated there was trouble in her marriage with Fishburne.
