Romeal Hughley

Romel was born in St. Louis, Missouri and as a toddler the family moved to Minnesota in 1991. In his teenage years, he was split up from his mom and siblings when they moved to El Paso, Texas. When Mel stayed in Minnesota he had a close relationship to his Aunt Deana, her children, Lontrell, Terrel, Sherrel, and Uncle Darryl. As a adult he moved into a apartment complex in St. Paul where he ended up crossing paths and living in the same building as his sister, Brianna, brother, Devin, step-mom, Angela, step-sister Jolee, niece, Aubrie, and nephew, Montrell. Having family so close to home brought Mel close to them visiting, spending holidays with them and being a helpful uncle to his niece and nephew. In his spare time, he also enjoyed playing and listening to music, and was in the process of furthering his education with college courses.
