Becoming Ms. McCain!

Ex-wife of Comic Mike Epps Ready to Ring In the New Year With New Name, New Beginnings

An actress. An influencer. A mother. Mechelle McCain is the quintessential millennial – that is, out to conquer the world and make a name for herself on her own terms. After 15 years of marriage to comic Mike Epps (“Meet the Blacks”), the couple called it quits in 2017. As a strong show of female empowerment, Mechelle dropped her famous last name and reverted back to her maiden name – that is, McCain.

In 2005, Mechelle married comic Mike Epps and took a break from her acting career. Mike’s star began to rise following his breakout roles in “Friday After Next” and “All About the Benjamins.” Pursuing acting gigs here and there, Mechelle took the role of a supportive spouse. She put her ambitions on hold and supported her ex’s endeavors as well as start a family. Although she never told a joke, she played her best part yet – that is, embodying the expression, “behind every successful man is a good woman.”

On her own, Mechelle is re-launching her career as an actress and producer and fostering social consciousness as a civic-minded philanthropist and global citizen. A deserted spot in Calabasas, Calif. provided the perfect backdrop for Mechelle’s powerful poses, showcasing her newfound freedom and reclaiming her independence.
