And my marriage was perfect when I wasn’t famous.

Wayans contrasts private life before celebrity with the pressures that arrive after public recognition. The line implies that fame can distort a relationship’s balance—introducing scrutiny, temptation, time demands, and shifts in identity or power that weren’t present when the couple lived outside the spotlight. Read as a retrospective lament, it suggests that what felt “perfect” was sustained by ordinary routines and mutual attention, and that success in one arena (career visibility) can quietly erode success in another (marital stability). It also functions as a cautionary observation about the costs of celebrity: the public may see achievement, while the individual experiences loss of intimacy and normalcy.
