10 Things You Didn't Know About Booker T

7. Has A Strained Relationship With His Son

Marrying Sharmell Sullivan in 2005, Booker T and his new bride would go on to have beautiful baby twins in August, 2010. A baby boy and baby girl joined another son Booker had from a previous marriage, Brandon. It seems that Booker wasn't around a great deal during the child's younger years, something which has led to an estranged relationship between father and son. In an old edition of the WCW Magazine, released in the Summer of 1998, Booker remarked that he tried to see his son whenever he wasn't on the road wrestling with WCW, but that it wasn't always easy. Picking up on the fact that his father was rarely around, Brandon started to distance himself from getting close to his dad, which is a pretty sad situation to think about. During the same interview, Booker T said that he enjoyed returning home to see Brandon playing as him on the WCW Nitro videogame for Playstation, but felt a tad melancholic over the fact that his son had to play as his dad in virtual form to try and get to know him better. It's unclear whether or not Brandon and Booker have patched things up.
