Terry McMillian and Jonathan Plummer talk about their Relationship


Terry McMillan married Jonathan Plummer in 1998.

When they married, McMillan was in her mid 40s, Plummer, his early 20s; he was the inspiration for the love interest of the main character in the book How Stella Got Her Groove Back. Her life did not follow the movie when in December 2004, Plummer told McMillan that he was gay; in March 2005, she filed for divorce.

The divorce was settled for an undisclosed amount. In March 2007, McMillan sued Plummer and his lawyer for $40 million citing an intentional strategy to embarrass and humiliate her during the divorce proceedings.

Now she saw to Oprah Winfrey’ that Plummer as “a work of art” upon meeting him in The Bahamas.

McMillan wrote How Stella Got Her Groove Back surrounding the experiences and joy of meeting Plummer.

Welll… well… well… is this a kind of a happy ending?
