Who is Timyka's new family member?

Timyka has a very different experience with having a new member in her family as she didn’t have for so many years. It appeared that her father, Nelson Hullon Artist had another child, a daughter just like her all this time and she only found and met through DNA testing. Despite an unlikely beginning, Timyka and her new sister Deidra Todd are spending more time together, and let’s say they have a happy ending.

Seems like Timyka has kept her dating and married life private so it is unknown whether she has married or not. However, she mentions J.G. Gonzales as her workplace husband and a bestie but of course not a real husband.

In around 2014-2015, Timyka left her position of general assignment reporter at WPXU for a new position at WCPO in Cincinnati, OHIO.

She wanted to grow more and continue to develop her skills, and she believed WCPO would give that to her.
