Who Is Tamika Scott’s Husband? Details on Darnell “Bigg” Winston

In the season premiere of the limited series, Tamika and LaTocha are barely speaking to one another. However, Tamika always has her husband, Darnell “Bigg” Winston, by her side. Here’s what to know about Tamika Scott’s husband and beautiful family!

Tamika’s dating history before her marriage to Bigg Winston is pretty lowkey. However, Xscape fans will recall that the actress and chef were the first of the group to become pregnant. In 1994, Tamika welcomed her first child, O’Shun Reney, with Darius Byas. Tamika and Darius reportedly married after O’Shun was born but divorced in the early 2000s.

Following her split from O’Shun’s father, Tamika focused on her dreams outside of Xscape. She signed on to play Millet Jenay Baptiste-Brown in Tyler Perry’s 2004 stage play, Meet the Browns. While working closely with Tyler, she became friends with the film and TV mogul’s bodyguard, Bigg.

On SWV & Xscape: Queens of R&B, Tamika says she and Bigg hit it off from the moment they met. However, she stresses that their relationship was “nothing sexual” for years “until one day I was like I think I love him.”

“We have a Kevin Costner/Whitney Houston Bodyguard-type of relationship,” Tamika says in a confessional. “You know, that’s how we met.”

Tamika and Bigg married in 2004 and welcomed two daughters — Niyah and Princess Armani, whom they are raising along with O’Shun.

Since they tied the knot, Bigg has become her and Xscape’s bodyguard, and he also works as an executive protector for New Edition.

In 2018, Tamika and Bigg celebrated 14 years of love and marriage with their family and friends, including Tamika’s bandmates, Kandi, and sister LaTocha. The couple renewed their vows in a lavish ceremony, which they didn’t have the first time. Tamika walked down the aisle in a gorgeous sequined wedding dress designed by Basketball Wives cast member Angel Brinks.

“So thankful for everyone who help [sic] make our wedding renewal an unforgettable event!” Tamika wrote on her Instagram account at the time.
