Comedienne Niecy Nash is divorcing her husband of sixteen years Don Nash, an ordained minister and real-estate broker.

“It’s unfortunate . . . however, after much prayer and counseling, we felt it was the best decision for us. Everything was amicable and we will always have a great deal of respect and support for one another,” Niecy says.

Don and Niecey have three children.

On Monday night, Niecy will accept a Gracie Allen Award from American Women in Radio & Television at the Marriott Marquis for her work on the Style Network’s “Clean House.”
