"You’re Not the Person I Married"
What Happened After the Show: Daniel and Latoyya


The Situation Then: Latoyya and Daniel first appeared on “You’re Not the Person I Married” on September 30th, 2004. When Latoyya and Daniel got married, it was the picture of “the perfect family.” Daniel had given rings to her three children during the ceremony and promised to always be there for them.

However, after they got married, Latoyya felt that Daniel turned his back on her kids – even going as far as to ask them to call him “Mr. Daniel.” Latoyya lamented the fact that Daniel was cold to the children and withdrew his affection, while Daniel defended himself saying that he feels uncomfortable around the kids, especially when they call him “Dad.”

The Situation Now: Seeing himself on the show came as a major shock to Daniel. “I couldn’t believe it was me,” he says. The couple took Larry up on his offer of post-show counseling, which they’ve been attending faithfully.

Though Daniel still has trouble letting the kids call him “Dad,” he says he has made great strides in opening his heart to them. He believes further counseling will help him become more comfortable as a father. Latoyya acknowledges Daniel’s turn for the better but is still skeptical. She believes Daniel misrepresented himself when he asked her to marry him. Though Latoyya is pleased with Daniel’s improvement, she says they still have a “long way to go.”
