Wayne married Mandie, a dancer, four years before Maile was born. Wayne had previously been married to Diana Lasso from 1993 to 1995. Maile was just three years old on April 5, 2007, when Wayne and Mandie decided to get divorced.

“To see her on the set, I feel like a giddy stage dad,” Wayne told Entertainment Tonight about Maile’s guest appearance on the soap opera. “It makes me wanna cry. I’ve had a couple near tear moments.”

The first person Brady came out to was Taketa. “I just said, ‘Great.’ As I knew coming out would help him be happier,” she said. Maile’s response to Brady was mostly a shrug. “I just said, ‘Okay,’” she remembered. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the ex-couple, their daughter, and Mandie’s lover, Jason Fordham, all went into isolation together.
