He is regarded not only as a role model but also as a progressive political activist for the same cause which is why his marriage to white Sarah Disanto became a subject of heavy criticism and anger from fans.

Despite such criticisms, Parker defends his wife wherever he can. He is often found saying that he loves his wife and he loves his fans too.
She is 'The Perfect Partner':
Living a life amidst such judgment and criticism surely isn't easy but Sarah Disanto is raising parker's four black daughters, his sister's kids, and his other child as a family. That alone speaks volumes about the woman's grit and strength of character.
Add to that, the rape allegations, controversies and their aftermath, and the Hollywood lifestyle, it is a miracle that they have found such stability in their marriage as they have been together for over a decade.
Sarah Disanto is an incredibly understanding and supportive partner, an amazing mother, and an exemplary homemaker. We wish the couple happiness and togetherness in the future as well.
