When she became a mother at 14, Sarah Jakes Roberts showed resilience and that anyone can overcome their past. Born Sarah Jakes on July 17, 1988, in West Virginia, United States, the 34-year-old priest is the 4th child of Bishop TD Jakes and his wife, actress Serita Ann Jakes.
She had four siblings: Jemar, Jermain, Cora, and Thomas Dexter Jakes Jr. Her childhood was typical, with fond memories shared with her parents and siblings. She changed course a few months before turning 14. When she became pregnant and had her first child in 2002, Sarah Jakes Roberts shamed her family. Her family helped her change. She earned a journalism degree from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth after graduating from high school at 16.
She Has Been Married Twice
In 2008, Sarah married for the first time. She married Robert Henson, a former Washington Redskins linebacker. During their four-year marriage, they had one child. Her pastor husband, Touré Roberts, married her later. They have one child together, but they also raise each other’s five children from other marriages.
After inheriting The Potter’s House’s women’s ministry from her father, Sarah Jakes Roberts may know a thing or two about overcoming obstacles. She has mostly instilled those values in her six children, and the public is curious about them. Let’s introduce the pastor’s six children: Makenzie Henson, Malachi Jakes, Isaiah Roberts, Ren Taylor Roberts, Ella Roberts, and Teya Roberts.
Sarah Jakes had Malachi Jakes first.
Sarah Jakes Roberts had 14-year-old Malachi Jakes. Malachi Xander Jakes was born on October 3, 2002, in West Virginia. For reasons unknown to the family, Malachi Jakes’s birth father’s identity has been kept secret for years. Malachi took his mother’s maiden name at birth and has been called that since. Sarah Jakes Roberts, Malachi’s mother, dealt with the stigma of teenage pregnancy as well as being a pastor’s daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock.
Thankfully, her parents stepped in and made sure she picked up the pieces of her life to become the woman she is today. Malachi is close to his mother. Perhaps because he is her firstborn or because they formed a bond after his birth during one of her hardest times. She celebrated Malachi’s 20th birthday by praising his patience, wisdom, love, generosity, creativity, and kindness on social media. She said she was better because he was her son in her birthday post.
Malachi Jakes is now a man, but his grandfather Bishop T.D. Jakes taught him how to be one. His values helped him become a blogger and aspiring actor. In 2017, Sarah Jakes Roberts’ first son graduated from Rock Canyon High School and took the Advanced Film Acting Course at the Colorado School of Acting, indicating his desire to become an actor. Moments in Mind With Malachi, his blog, is already making waves. Malachi Jakes is unmarried. He also has no children.

Jakes’s’s second daughter married former NFL linebacker Robert Henson after overcoming teenage pregnancy. In 2008, Makenzie’s mom was 19 and seemed to have her whole life ahead of her when they married. Her birth parents’ marriage seemed stable when she was born in August of the following year, but three years later, her mother filed for a divorce which was finalized in 2012.
Makenzie Henson’s mother filed for divorce due to her father’s infidelity, though she never stated this in her official statement. Despite that, mother and daughter still share a very close relationship that has transcended the experiences of her parent’s marriage. Details of Makenzie Henson’s formal education are unknown at the moment, but several sources have revealed that she is a photographer and a printmaker. We have yet to discover her media-accessible work. Like her older half-brother, Makenzie Henson is ignoring romantic relationships for now.
