Chris Stokes came into the public limelight on social media amid the latest backlash against Marques Houston over his significant age gap with his wife Miya Dickey.
Following the renewed doubts about Houston and Dickey’s relationship, netizens digging into the older memories recalled Dickey’s 2020 Instagram post where she referred to Stokes as “dad.” She also called him the “best father figure” and “best friend anyone could ask for.”
Some Twitter users consequently alleged that Dickey was “adopted” by Stokes in the years she remained missing. She went missing in August 2016 in Oregon, when she was 15, as claimed by a Twitter user who shared an unverified screenshot from the National Database for Missing Teenagers.
