Terrence Howard has admitted to watching porn and taking ecstasy with ex-wife Michelle Ghent, while it has also emerged he has divorced third wife Mira Pak. Howard has admitted in court that he and second spouse Michelle Ghent would watch porn, smoke marijuana, do cocaine and take ecstasy together during their brief marriage. However, he insists he has turned his life around since splitting from Ghent, from whom his divorce was finalised in May 2013. According to TMZ, he said: ''I refuse to get high, I refuse to watch porn.'' The star is currently involved in a court case to overturn the settlement of his divorce from Ghent. His ex-wife is seeking higher spousal support payments, claiming $5,800 a month isn't enough. Meanwhile, it's also emerged that Howard, 46, has now divorced his third wife Mira Pak, whom he married in October 2013. According to the New York Daily News, a lawyer in the ongoing trial referred to Pak as his ''ex-wife'' while he was giving evidence. A source later told the newspaper the divorce was granted in Chicago. The couple have a three-month-old son Qirin Love. While Howard didn't confirm the divorce in his testimony, he was confronted with recorded telephone calls to Ghent just days after his marriage to Pak.In one call from October 2013 he reportedly professed his love for Ghent, saying: ''I will never love someone like I loved you. You are my dream of all time.'' Quizzed why he married Pak if he still loved his second wife, Howard said: ''I've got a chance to be OK and to just settle.'' ..
