They stayed good friends and Maurice helped raise their children together, however, he soon found out he had health issues, and died on 21 May 2007 at the age of 48 (birthday 30 December 1958) due to a massive blood clot. In 2004 before her divorce was finalized, Kimberly started dating Shemar Moore, an American actor and a fashion model, and many people believe that Kimberly was having an affair with Shemar which led to her and Maurice’s divorce.
