While Mekhi and Malinda were together, Malinda gave birth to Mekhi’s first child, Omikaye Phifer, in 1999. Though the ex-couple went their separate ways after 2003, they put their differences aside and co-parent their son, Omikaye. The devoted parents of Omikaye often post photos of their gifted little boy on their respective social networking sites.
The twenty-one-year-old Omikaye went to Mira Costa High School and graduated from there on 15 June 2017. After completing high school, he enrolled in El Camino College in Torrance, CA, for further education.
According to the Facebook of Omikaye, he is currently working as a front of the house at Stonefire Grill in Los Angeles, California.

Before the arrival of Omiakaye’s younger half-brother, Mekhi Jr., his father told the media that he would take wedding vows with Souratha shortly after the baby is born. However, their marriage never happened as Souratha and Mekhi separated later.
