Jeezy Files For Divorce From Wife Jeannie
Jeezy has filed for divorce from wife Jeannie Mai Jenkins, after being married for two-and-a-half years, with a prenuptial agreement in place.
Jeezy's filing states the couple are "currently living in a bona fide state of separation," and their marriage is "irretrievably broken" with "no hope for reconciliation."
It also states the rapper wants shared joint custody of their daughter.
The two wed in March 2021 at their home in Atlanta, and welcomed daughter Monaco in January 2022.
The celebrated their 2nd anniversary in March with a surprise Vietnam trip organised by Jeannie as a "long-awaited adventure.”
“When Jeezy and I met, we bonded over the similarities and differences of our cultures. Now that we have a daughter, blending our worlds, it gives even more meaning to explore Vietnam together as a multicultural family.”
Jeezy had initially planned to propose in Hoi An, Vietnam in April 2020, but was forced to change his plans due to COVID.
"When Jeezy proposed to me, he decorated his condo to look like Hoi An. It brought the memories of our engagement full circle when we were finally in Hoi An for the first time."
They first met on the set of Jeannie's daytime talk show 'The Real,' and quietly started dating in November 2018. They took their romance public in August 2019.
"We both went through enough in our life to connect on the understanding that love should feel safe, honest, and pure. Immediately, that was a magnetic attraction. We are very attracted to each other's passions to serve. So because we have a mutual joy of having purpose, we're going to find a way to do that together."
When Jeannie was a contestant on 'Dancing With the Stars' in 2020, she marked Disney night with a special dance dedicated to Jeezy, set to the song “Married Life” from the Disney-Pixar movie 'Up.'
“I played Up for him while we were dating. This movie is how I would like for us to grow old together. I specifically chose this dance because J is the love of my life and honestly when we met, I pictured the beginning of this… The minute I met J, I couldn’t wait to grow old with him, happily ever after.”
"I loved our dating life because we really spent such concentrated quality time getting to know each other and making sure that we were right for each other. And now being married, it's even more handled with such delicacy and such thoughtfulness, because we're in our 40s and we both grew up in households that weren't healthy marriages. We have never seen what that looks like."
"That little person has completely awakened me to seeing the world a whole different way. And the crazy thing is, my daughter gives me so much confidence. I like myself more as a mom. I like myself more getting up and taking care of somebody else and tending to her and watching her actually register things that we've worked so hard to teach her. I can't believe, like, that's such an accomplishment. I didn't realize that."
“We have no problem calling somebody up to be like, 'We're dropping her off' or 'Coming in 30 minutes.'"
