It may be an unconventional union for Mandie Taketa and her ex, Wayne Brady, but their connection in Hulu\u2019s newest reality show, \u201cWayne Brady: The Family Remix,\u201d is rooted in nothing but love.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEat!\u201d Mandie Taketa exclaims when asked about her favorite homecoming ritual. <\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like anyone who doesn\u2019t say \u2018eat\u2019 isn\u2019t from Hawai\u2018i,\u201d she jokes. \u201cWe order Zippy\u2019s as soon as we get off the plane because that\u2019s the fastest way to get food into our mouths.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taketa grew up in K\u0101ne\u2018ohe but has lived in Los Angeles since the mid-\u201990s when she moved there with her then-boyfriend and later husband, Wayne Brady. You might know him from Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Let\u2019s Make A Deal or The Wayne Brady Show. <\/p>\n

For Taketa, her ex-husband, Brady (yes, they\u2019ve got one of those rare, genuinely healthy post-divorce relationships), their 21-year-old daughter, Maile Masako Brady, Taketa\u2019s life partner, Jason Michael Fordham, and their 3-year-old son, Sundance-Isamu, a visit to Hawai\u2018i isn\u2019t about aloha shirts and Waik\u012bk\u012b resorts. It\u2019s about crashing at her parents\u2019 (Ronald and Hazel) place, sleeping in, and eating their weight in poke, laulau and mac salad. And when they finally emerge from their food comas, they schlep their way to a Windward beach for some much-needed vitamin \u201csea.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group affectionately call themselves the \u201cCore Four\u201d (a nickname coined before little Sundance joined the mix). Now, they\u2019re stepping into the spotlight as the stars of Hulu\u2019s latest reality show, Wayne Brady: The Family Remix. Far from the typical Hollywood glitz, this show peels back the curtain on Brady\u2019s real life, beyond the dazzling stage lights and scripts.<\/p>\n

Viewers will follow the Emmy Award-winning multihyphenate on deeply personal journeys: his coming out as pansexual, coping with the heart-wrenching loss of his grandmother Val (who raised him), struggling to raise a kid in the heart of Tinseltown and glimpses into his Broadway career. <\/p>\n

But at its core, the show celebrates \u2018ohana in all its beautiful, diverse forms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis concept of a blended family that everyone calls weird or modern up here in the larger part of the United States isn\u2019t anything new to me or you,\u201d Taketa says. \u201cAs soon as you walk through the front door in Hawai\u2018i, you open someone else\u2019s fridge like it\u2019s your family \u2014 that\u2019s my cousin, that\u2019s my \u2018ohana. I just recreated a h\u0101nai family here in Los Angeles because it\u2019s all I know. Who knew people would find it so entertaining?\u201d<\/p>\n

Brady chimes in, \u201cWe are very much believers in chosen family, and I think a lot of that is innate in how Mandie was raised. Once I married into the family years ago, I ended up with so many nieces and nephews and uncles and cousins that I never had by birth. That\u2019s what really got me familiar with the concept of \u2018These people can be your family, even if there are no blood ties.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the village that we chose to build,\u201d he adds. \u201cI really feel that that is a very, very local thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Castle High School graduate and former member of 24-7 Danceforce, Taketa auditioned for a show at Aloha Tower that starred Brady. At the time, he was \u201cjust a singer from Vegas,\u201d she says with a hint of amusement. <\/p>\n

Taketa was attending University of Hawai\u2018i at M\u0101noa on a dance scholarship when she fell in love with the singer and made the bold decision to move to LA with him to pursue her passion for dancing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe moved into a studio apartment that was $450 a month, utilities included, without knowing a single person,\u201d she remembers. \u201cI had 1,000 bucks in my pocket; he had 500. At that moment, we were family. The hustle started for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was during those lean times, Taketa explains, that their creative partnership truly began to take shape. <\/p>\n

\u201cI mopped floors in exchange for dance classes,\u201d she says. \u201cHe was working at kids\u2019 parties. We both got a job at Universal Studios, and I hip-hop danced when they cleaned up the slime. We did what we needed to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

She reflects on their early years with candor, \u201cThe rest was history for us. We hated each other, but we were too poor to leave each other. We needed the other one to pay the other half of the rent, and by the time we could afford rent, we didn\u2019t want to leave each other. We loved each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Brady\u2019s career began to take off, he and Taketa co-founded production company A Wayne & Mandie Creative. Together, they collaborated on Brady\u2019s comedy specials, and Taketa has since co-produced and served as artistic director for the BET Awards and the American Music Awards. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was never about fame. It was never about stardom for Wayne either. I can honestly say that that man has never networked or gone to a party to meet people that could move him forward in his career,\u201d Taketa says. \u201cWe\u2019re happy to have food on our plates. We\u2019re happy if we could take care of our parents. We\u2019re happy if we can afford a plane ticket to fly home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple welcomed their daughter, Maile, in 2003, and ended their marriage in 2008, but it was hardly dramatic like the movies make divorce seem. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe had these high-powered agents and managers and lawyers that \u2018could protect him from me,\u2019 and he\u2019s just like, \u2018From Mandie? She\u2019s the one person who has my back even though we\u2019re divorced.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re soulmates,\u201d she continues. \u201cWayne knows everything about me, and I know everything about him, and that started a long time ago. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe titles of our relationship have changed,\u201d she adds. \u201cWe were boyfriend and girlfriend. We were married. We\u2019re parents. We\u2019re divorced. But the friendship part (never has).\u201d <\/p>\n

Taketa met Fordham in 2009 when he auditioned for a Brady show she was producing. (Auditions and falling in love seem to be a pattern for Taketa.) Their connection added a new dimension to the family\u2019s dynamic.<\/p>\n

Fordham reflects, \u201cI think the one thing that I always did and that I recommend is that you do have to recognize that there is an existing family structure there, so you\u2019re not there to alter that in any way. You\u2019re there to support that, enhance that.\u201d <\/p>\n

When the foursome started to take on the world together, which included parent-teacher conferences, fertility treatments and more, the world looked back at them like they were crazy.<\/p>\n

Taketa, however, sees their story as an opportunity to redefine family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that we\u2019re able to finally create a show where \u2026 some people are kind of like, \u2018That\u2019s really cool that you can love each other like that. That\u2019s family. That\u2019s the found family.\u2019 That\u2019s accessible for everyone to find people that love and accept you,\u201d she says with pride.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show\u2019s message is find the people that love you,\u201d she continues. \u201cThey exist and you shouldn\u2019t go through things alone. Your mental health is important. It doesn\u2019t have to look any one way. <\/p>\n

\u201cLook at us, we\u2019re a good example of that. Your life does not have to look like ours. What\u2019s important is that you find people that love you for you, and that might not be your ex-husband or boyfriend or girlfriend or partner. <\/p>\n

\u201cYour family can look however it makes you feel safe, and that should be accepted by people,\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s what I believe.\u201d <\/p>\n

What do you love most about Hawai\u2018i?<\/h3>\n

Mandie Taketa:<\/strong> \u201cThere\u2019s so much to love. It\u2019s the aloha spirit. It sounds generic but if you don\u2019t possess it, you don\u2019t respect it, you know? People see the kindness as weakness, but when you\u2019re home, when you\u2019re on the \u2018\u0101ina \u2014 I\u2019m tearing up talking about it \u2014 it\u2019s like a hug from people you don\u2019t know. And you gotta be local to have it. It\u2019s the gratitude of your community, of your neighbors. Like, I don\u2019t even know most of my neighbors\u2019 names here in LA. My dad gives Christmas gifts to everyone within, like, 2 miles of his house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason Michael Fordham:<\/strong> \u201cWell, hopefully this doesn\u2019t sound too esoteric, but I like the peace. Like, I\u2019m turned down. I like the slow pace. Everything in LA just buzzes so high to me that when I step off here, it\u2019s just like, I relax.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wayne Brady:<\/strong> \u201cWhen I first went to Hawai\u2018i, I was struck by how racially diverse and non-judgmental the culture was, so much so that I didn\u2019t trust it. It wasn\u2019t until I got to know a lot of my friends there and spent a lot of time there that I realized it\u2019s all about love. If you get made fun of, it\u2019s equal opportunity being made fun of. It\u2019s all done in love. Being in a place that is so diverse, but not just one type of person \u2014 and everybody\u2019s mixed \u2014 it\u2019s really crazy that there aren\u2019t more places like that here on the mainland. I think I love the acceptance most in Hawai\u2018i.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maile Masako Brady:<\/strong> \u201cMy favorite thing about Hawai\u2018i is the people \u2026 they\u2019re some of the most resilient people and bloodlines you can encounter in such a small space. Everyone is so strong. Like, turn off the melody and like everyone has been through so much and gone through so much generationally, but there\u2019s so much beauty on the island, in the food and in the music and in how you treat people and the concept of aloha and \u2018ohana. I think it\u2019s one of the most beautiful places and one of the places with the most kind and artistic people you\u2019ll ever meet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
