Abuse Allegation
Winans was arrested in March 2009, and charged with misdemeanor domestic assault in connection with a February 2009 incident in which the gospel singer is said to have pushed his ex-wife, Debra Winans, to the ground during an argument.http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0312092bebe1.html BeBe released a statement on March 13, 2009, in response to the allegations.http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090313/METRO/903130444/1424/ENT04
In an e-mailed statement to The Detroit News, on March 13, 2009, Winans said, "To be accused of these allegations, which arose out of a child custody right dispute and my desire to spend time with our children as court ordered, is nothing less than heart wrenching. Since I choose to say nothing negative about my children's mother, I will make no comment other than to say the allegations are inconsistent with my character and the foundation upon which I was raised and I am prayerful that the matter is straightened out very soon for the sake of our children."http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090313/METRO/903130444/1424/ENT04

Bebe and CeCe Winans
Bebe and Cece Winans perform Love Of My Life . Lyrics for the first verse are as follows: My heart belongs to you/ You're the happiness I know I can depend on/ Been there for me when things go wrong/ There's rivers full of love I can rely on/ You and I have faced troubled times before/ Because of you I live needing nothing more/ Where you are my heart isn't very far/ So promise me now we'll always be forever.
