As we mentioned earlier, Khary began his career through a small role in the TV series 'Street Sharks' in 1994. He has since then played a lot of series and movies, both live and animated. In the early 2000s, he had just established himself and bagged the roles in different live-action series such as 'Walker, Texas Ranger,' 'JAG,' and 'The Shield.' Around the same time, he got a chance to voice several classics such as Cyborg in 'Teen Titans,' 'Ben 10,' 'Loonatics Unleashed,' and 'Friday: The Animated Series.'

The half-human and half machine had already impressed many by his performance of Cyborg.

The talented voice actor has been married twice until now.

Khary's First Wife

Khary married his former first of Linda Braddock in 2001. The information about how they met and married has not made it to the media yet. The couple was together for eight wonderful years until 2009, but they had to part ways due to unforeseen circumstances. About their children from what has been in the media, it is more than likely they don't have any.

Khary's Second Wife

Khary married his second wife, Stacy Reed Payton, who was also an actress in 2010. The two have been together ever since, but they have filed for divorce after ten beautiful years. They have two children, Karter Payton and Maya Payton. Khary and Stacy might have met on the set of their acting endeavor and fell in love. The two love their children and can be seen regularly posting about them on the social media handles.

Khary Payton's Children

As mentioned earlier, Khary has two children from his second wife, Stacy- Karter and Maya Payton. Karter is the elder of the two and took the initial 'K' because it reminded him of his father's name. A surprising and bold fact about Khary Payton's kid Karter recently came out in media as it was revealed that Karter identifies himself as a boy even though he was born a girl.

Khary and Stacy are both proud of their child's braveness and fully support him. The younger one Maya is Karter's younger sister and the two share an impeccable bond between them, which can be often seen on their parents' social media account.

Skimming through Khary's Instagram account, we see that he likes to post more about his work and, occasionally, his personal life. Still, if the couple does get divorced, it will be saddening to see them apart. We would be the first to know if something like that happens.
