As for how Tracy Morgan met Sabina Morgan, he shared a candid anecdote with The New Yorker, noting how he saw "this bomb-a** chick [Sabina] on a pay phone" while hanging out at Yankee Stadium one day. Sabina was four years older than Tracy and had two children from a previous relationship at the time. The couple ended up having a child of their own, named Tracy Jr., and Tracy adopted Sabina's two kids, according to the outlet.
Sabina was an adamant supporter of Tracy's stand-up comedy. "I've got you, but you've got to keep at this no matter how hard it gets," she told him, per The New Yorker.
Unfortunately, Tracy struggled with a drinking problem, and this supposedly became too much for Sabina to handle. "I started to even hurt people that I love," the actor relayed to Travis Smiley in 2010, per CNN. The quote came one year after Tracy and Sabina divorced in 2009, although according to the New York Daily News, they had separated eight years before that.
Tragically, Sabina died of cancer in 2016, a sorrow that still motivates Tracy. "My ex-wife passed away from cancer three years ago, so when I go on that stage, that will be for my ex-wife," he told Entertainment Weekly in 2019 about hosting the ESPY Awards in her honor. "That will be for my kids."
