Terry Crews, the charismatic host of America’s Got Talent and star of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, is widely recognized for his on-screen energy and humor. But away from the cameras, Terry’s most cherished role is that of a devoted husband and father. Married to singer-songwriter Rebecca King-Crews since 1989, Terry is the proud dad of five children: Naomi, Azriél, Tera, Wynfrey, and Isaiah. Their enduring marriage and supportive family dynamic have become an inspiring example in Hollywood.
Terry and Rebecca’s love story began through mutual friends. At the time they met, Rebecca was a single mother to her six-month-old daughter, Naomi. Terry embraced fatherhood early, marrying Rebecca two years later in 1989 and adopting Naomi. As Terry candidly shared in The Guardian, he was “thrown into” fatherhood at just 20 years old, a role he accepted wholeheartedly.
Throughout their marriage, Terry and Rebecca have openly discussed the highs and lows of their relationship and the journey of raising a family in the public eye. Their audio memoir, Stronger Together, released in 2021, offers a raw and honest look at their partnership. Terry credits Rebecca as “the reason that we are all still here, together,” emphasizing her strength and the importance of their bond. He strives to be a positive role model for his children, aiming to be “a person who is transparent and lets them be free and do whatever they need to do.”

Terry and Rebecca are deeply supportive of their children’s aspirations, regardless of their chosen paths. Whether their kids decide to pursue careers in entertainment or forge their own trails, the Crews family emphasizes personal fulfillment over traditional definitions of success. As Terry shared with Parade, “Whatever they wanna do, we support.” He further elaborated on his perspective on legacy, stating, “We kind of wrap everything up in achievements, but the movies and all the things I’ve done? They’re not my legacy. It’s really my son, and my daughters, and my family. That’s the legacy.”
Here’s a closer look at each member of the Terry Crews Family: Naomi, Azriél, Tera, Wynfrey, and Isaiah, and their individual journeys.

Naomi Anna Burton-Crews, Terry Crews’ eldest daughter, showcases a radiant smile in a close-up portrait.
Naomi Anna Burton, Rebecca’s eldest daughter, was born in March 1987. Terry entered her life shortly after, and their bond solidified when he adopted her after marrying Rebecca in 1989. Terry has often spoken about his deep love and pride for Naomi, emphasizing that their non-biological connection has no bearing on the strength of their father-daughter relationship. In a heartfelt post on X, Terry expressed, “I raised a daughter who is not biologically mine either. My oldest. And I love her with all my heart.”
Growing up largely outside the spotlight, Naomi experienced a different side of Terry’s life before his acting career took off, during his time in the NFL. However, the family briefly shared their lives with the public through the BET reality TV show The Family Crews (2010-2011), offering a glimpse into their family dynamics and adventures.
Naomi is a mother herself to Miley Burton-Crews, making Terry and Rebecca proud grandparents. Terry expressed his excitement about becoming a grandfather to HipHollywood in 2010, joking about feeling younger than he expected. Rebecca humorously admitted to needing time to adjust to the “grandma” title, preferring to be called “Glam-Ma” instead.
