Solis was married to The Braxton Family Values reality star Trina Braxton from 2003-2015. Their marriage, bouts with infidelity and divorce was chronicled on the popular reality show.

The former couple appeared on OWN's Iyanla Fix My Life more than two years after their split to work on mending their friendship after the end of their marriage.

Solis reportedly kept details of his conditions under wraps, with many friends, and family members left stunned by the news.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gabe Solis' family and friends during this difficult time.
