Rayna, also known as Ramsay Tyson, born on February 14, 1996, and her brother Amir born in August 1997, are Morocco’s second and third older siblings from his father’s second marriage to Monica Turner.
Miguel and Exodus came from Mike Tyson’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Sol Xochitl. Sadly, Exodus, Morocco’s second older sister, is late. She died at 4 in 2009, long before Morocco was born and his father even met his mother. Exodus was caught in a treadmill cord in her Phoenix home and died after she was rushed to a local hospital.
