Jaleel White spent much of his youth carrying the weight of a legendary pop-culture character. Breaking out of that creative box required discipline, patience, and business savvy. In marrying Nicoletta Ruhl, White solidified a partnership built on shared maturity rather than fleeting entertainment novelty.
