Tina Campbell, the powerhouse gospel singer best known for performing as one half of the duo Mary Mary with her sister Erica, has always put family at the center of her life. She and her husband, drummer Teddy Campbell, who married in 2000, have built a faith-centered home in Los Angeles where music, love and Christian values guide everyday life. Their blended household of five children has watched their parents’ careers unfold while each child finds their own direction, and Tina frequently shares tender snapshots on social media that reveal the devoted mother behind the Grammy wins and stage lights.
Over the years the Campbells have navigated the rewards and challenges of raising kids in the public eye: Teddy entered the marriage with an eldest daughter, and together the couple welcomed four more children. As those children move through the teen years and into young adulthood, their personalities—and accomplishments—have become more distinct. From academic honors to athletic successes and growing independence, each child reflects the faith and resilience Tina and Teddy have emphasized at home.
Their Daughters: Poised, Talented, Resilient
Cierra Campbell, the oldest daughter at roughly 32 years old, joined the family from Teddy’s earlier relationship but has long been accepted and loved as Tina’s own. Now living as an adult, Cierra has also given Tina and Teddy the joy of becoming grandparents, bringing fresh warmth to the household. Her place in the family story highlights how their bonds are built on love rather than biology.
Laiah Simone Campbell, about 22, is known for a calm confidence and notable abilities. Her mother has described her as pure, honest, and brilliantly gifted. In high school she stood out academically and on the girls’ basketball team, earning honor roll mentions and scholarships. Laiah’s compassion and strong faith reflect the values Tina emphasizes, making her a proud example as she embarks on young adulthood.
Meela Jane Campbell, Tina’s second biological daughter, was born June 11, 2007, and is now 18 and completing her senior year of high school. Arriving early at just three pounds, Meela’s survival was a brief but powerful reminder of the family’s strength, and today she channels a bold, creative energy that Tina often praises. Tina’s social posts about how fast her “baby girl” is growing capture Meela’s balance of academics, personal growth, and the way she encourages her younger siblings.
The Campbell Sons: Vibrant, Faith-Filled Young Men
Glendon Theodore Campbell Jr., known to family and friends as TJ and roughly 17 years old, brings a lively, leadership-minded presence as a high school junior. Bearing a name passed down through generations, he mirrors his father’s musical gifts and the family’s tireless work ethic. Frequently seen in family moments beside his sister Meela, TJ is navigating the shift from boyhood to young manhood with the same faith-centered determination that defines the Campbells, showing responsibility and clear promise for the future.
Santana Campbell, the youngest at 13 years old (he’ll turn 14 later in 2026), arrived in August 2012 and quickly completed the family as the second son. Bright and charismatic, Santana already demonstrates a preaching spirit, sharing youth messages at church that reveal his strong faith. Tina often affectionately refers to him as her “favorite 13-year-old,” a nickname that captures tender mother-son moments and his journey from a tiny newborn to a lively teenager eager to make his own impact.
For Tina Campbell, her children are more than ages and names; they are ongoing demonstrations of God’s faithfulness. From premature births and school milestones to the everyday adventures of adolescence, the family stays bound by love, prayer, and steadfast support. As her sons and daughters continue to grow, Tina’s proudest achievement remains raising a generation rooted in purpose and prepared to carry forward the family’s legacy of faith and family.
