Career
Diana Lasso pursued a legitimate singing career in Colombia, both during and after her marriage to Wayne Brady, recording and performing Spanish-language music.
Her best-known release is Esta Noche No, a Song that earned her recognition within the Colombian music scene.
However, her career never achieved widespread international prominence beyond the Spanish-speaking market.

Wayne Brady’s Marriage
Diana married Wayne Brady on December 31, 1993, choosing New Year’s Eve for their wedding. At the time, Brady was still in the early stages of what would become a highly successful career in American television and comedy.
The marriage was short-lived, ending in divorce on September 21, 1995, less than two years after the wedding. Reports at the time, and in the years since, have generally attributed the divorce to the pressures of Brady’s demanding early career rather than to any public scandal or dramatic falling-out.
The couple did not have any children together. Brady’s only child, daughter Maile Masako Brady, was born on February 3, 2003, to Brady and his second wife, dancer and actress Mandie Taketa, whom he married in 1999.
They divorced in 2007, 12 years after Brady’s divorce from Lasso. Despite their separation, they have remained close friends and committed co-parents.
Following his divorce from Diana Lasso, Wayne Brady went on to build one of the most versatile careers in American entertainment. He became widely recognized through the improvisational comedy series Whose Line Is It Anyway? Before hosting Let’s Make a Deal and The Wayne Brady Show.
He also appeared on Broadway in the Tony Award-winning musical Kinky Boots, portraying the dual roles of Simon and Lola.
Also, he has appeared in films and made a memorable crossover appearance in WWE programming alongside Randy Orton.
Brady has spoken candidly about both of his marriages, acknowledging that marrying at a young age came with challenges he was not fully prepared to navigate.
Diana Lasso’s Net Worth
