Terrence Howard is a married man.

The actor, 41, who will play Nelson Mandela in biopic Winnie, quietly wed commercial production worker Michelle Ghent-Howard, 33, in a small L.A. ceremony last January.

"Terrence is so in love with her and she's a great, down-to-earth girl who really understands and loves him for him," an insider tells UsMagazine.com. "He feels so lucky."

Howard let the news slip to CNN's Anderson Cooper during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday.

"To come here and be with my wife, it's the best feeling in the world," he said of promoting his movie, (which co-stars Jennifer Hudson) in the South of France.

Howard split from his wife of 13 years, Lori McComma, in 2005. They have three children together: Aubrey, Heaven and Hunter.

    It is my opinion that he is a very honorable person. Didn't he marry his first wife due to an unplanned pregnancy? Also, this lady does not appear white. We need to stop refering to anyone who is not black as white. I don't care who Terrence Howard marries or dates as long as they are good to him. Most important, I love his acting and personality on his interviews. His personal life is not important to me. By the way, I am a black female who just loves love and Mr. Howard.

    NONE OF YOU know the truth of the situation with him and his former wife so dont make comments if you dont know the truth. ANY PERSON has a right to choose who they want to date, if he doesnt date black women thats his choice and whos to say he hasnt before. He doesnt hide any of his woman and one of his very best friends is Taraji P Henson therefore proving he does not dislike black people, HE is black!!! This is the 21st century he married a white woman is that a crime or something!? Get over yourselves, just because he doesnt want you DONT be mad and dont be racist against black men, just because some make mistakes you cant blame all black men for that. Interracial Marriage is amazing be happy for them.

    You know, as an Asian American, I am sick and tired of hearing and see those Black and White thing. Don't you feel tired they disguised their own women and go for White or other lighter skin women, which upset other race's men. If I see my women go down the street w/ Black, I would be offended and look down both of them. Somebody got to be very low in the society to go w/. Black men. They may not think so. Look around, they are rapist, prisioners, lazy, spouse abuse, violent criminal and not any model in the household or in society. White men would be very sick and pissed off. Hey regardless who you are, you just not happen when these dark skin people pick up your women. Men, this country is messed up White men let the gate open to these people now trying to dominate them. I would be very pissed if I bought slavery to this country now they sleep w/ my women. Hey, I am not racist. There are lots of us not Black men feel this way. Hey, why don't they not cross the color line and go back to Africa. I don't care if you are White, Hispanic, Native America, Arab, Pacific Islander, or anykind, most of us are sick and tired of these people causing problems in our society. And they think they marry somebody outside their race going to improve racial relation. It is not, is going to add more dislikes to our society. We don't need these people invade light color skin women. By the way, interracial is not Black men's thing, it should be everybody's thing. Why we need to make it a privileage to them. Move over, size doesn't matter, let's somebody's turn.

    Annie you Shut Up!!and show me some respect. I did nothing or said anything to you. This is how issues start,you don't know me and I don't know you. I have just as much of a right to post my thoughts as you do.

  • May 30, 2010 - 9:00am Annie

    CHARLES...Shut UP Already!!!

  • May 30, 2010 - 8:58am Annie

    I'm sick of Terrence, Tiger, Tiki, OJ, Michael Jordan, Snipes, and the rest of the fools who in reality cannot stand themselves (their own race) and will not try to find a woman who is like your mother. You all are the ones who make something of yourselves then do not help the people who have the most pride in you and for you. You all are sad to be honest! MJ is old and can't manage money or a marriage, Tiger is losing his grip and his family, and the rest of you can't really act - You are no Denzel. OJ...it's not worth talking about that.

    Within five years he will be older and the next (3rd) wife will be ten years younger than this current 2nd wife. He'll have two sets of kids out there while working on the third family. It's embarrassing how little effort we put in raising a family through ups and downs.

  • May 29, 2010 - 4:09pm Charles

    We need to stop stereotyping and judging our black men and women because of failed relationships,it's not there fault!!

  • May 29, 2010 - 4:07pm Charles

    Black men have stated that black women are superficial and have bad attitudes.

  • May 29, 2010 - 4:06pm Charles

    I read all of this on various blogs and magazines like this one. They would also say that black men do not have goals.

  • May 29, 2010 - 4:05pm Charles

    Sorry internet browser issues. I cannot believe that black women and men who date outside of there race put each other down. Women state that black men have no goals

  • May 29, 2010 - 3:58pm Charles

    Black men need to stop saying all black women have bad attitudes and are superficial,last time I checked no one has met or dated every sista on the planet.

  • May 29, 2010 - 3:57pm Charles

    SORRY INTERNET BROWSER PROBLEMS. What bothers the most about interracial dating is the fact that many black men and women put down there own race. How can say that all black men are lazy and do not have goals in life when I have not met or dated them all. It is ridiculous.

  • May 29, 2010 - 3:45pm Charles

    Fearnot, I am a single successful black man who loves my black woman. It is very disheartening to see black men and women dating outside of there race. I think that it is a cop out on both sides. It is a disgrace to see how both black women and men put each other basing

  • May 26, 2010 - 2:29am Fearnot

    Just like Morgan Freeman, Wesley Snipes, Taye Diggs, Cuba Gooding, Tiger Woods and Unlike Quincey Jones, Sidney Poiter this is not 1960 or 1970 and some of these men have not touched a Black Woman's Womb since they come through their Mother and thats the way they want it. There are too many Successful Beautiful Black Women in 2010 for Blackmen to still be behaving with this "Plantation Mentality". It past time the Black Community "BlackBall" them and let their new families take care of them, they take care of them as long as they do their bidding and dont let their new wives drugs dealers murder them like OJ who took the blame for Nicole's Trampy Living and Blacks should not support these new BOYS on the Block at all except with Love not MONEY ! ! ! I am really starting to believe Black Women really do marry other races for Love and Black Men are still marrying for Status, like they dont already have it.

  • May 20, 2010 - 11:21pm iliana

    I really dont care if she aint black, im just mad that he left his wife of 13 years who was wit him why he ass was po. That so wrong!!!!It aint right at all.

  • May 20, 2010 - 3:05pm juliechang
