She began dating Jeezy in 2018 and the two married in March 2021 after a year-long engagement. This is Mai Jenkins‘ first child while Jeezy has three children from previous relationships.
Mai, 43, married 44-year-old artist in April 2021 following her divorce from her first husband, Freddy Harteis, in 2017. Ironically, Mai and Harteis split due to the former celebrity stylist not wanting to have children with the actor.

She shared on “The Real” in 2014;
Before we got married, I was very clear about the fact that I probably would not have kids, just because I’ve never felt that. And now, getting older, he definitely seems like he wants kids, and he actually came out and said that he wants children.
Falling in love with Jeezy, however, changed her perspective on motherhood.
In an episode from her YouTube show “Hello Hunnay with Jeannie Mai,” the host said she had previously suffered a miscarriage, and she began IVF shots only to find out she had conceived naturally a week after her wedding.
