Background on the Relationship (All Alleged and Unconfirmed)
McKee and Monique Tepe married on August 22, 2015, shortly after getting engaged in 2013 while he pursued his medical career. The marriage was brief—they reportedly separated in March 2016, with Monique filing for divorce in May 2017, finalized in June 2017. Court records indicate the split was cited as “incompatibility,” with no children from the union and no spousal support awarded. Some social media posts and online discussions from individuals claiming to know the couple allege details such as Monique paying for her own wedding ring, financial strains during their early careers (both earning around $50,000 annually at the time), and suggestions that McKee struggled to accept the divorce or faced professional setbacks like failing board exams. However, these remain unverified claims from alleged acquaintances, and no official motive has been released by authorities. Mainstream reports describe the divorce as amicable, with no documented domestic violence charges or restraining orders beyond standard divorce proceedings.
