Raven-Symoné’s Brother Recently Passed Away
According to PEOPLE, Christopher B. Pearman recognized his daughter’s interest in acting when she was only 2 years old. He reportedly spoke about it during an interview with NPR in 2010.
“I saw the seriousness in her eyes and then giving her the understanding [of] what it would take, and she agreed to what it would take. And then I thought that the next logical step was, well, I’m going to take you to the top agency in Atlanta. If they saw something there, then that would clearly be a sign for us to continue to move forward to help you achieve that dream,” he explained. “So we took her to the… agency and they signed her that day.”
In addition to Symoné, Christopher and Lydia Gaulden also shared a son named Blaize Pearman.
As The Shade Room previously reported, in December 2023, Symoné revealed that her brother passed away the month prior after a two-year battle with colon cancer.
