According to TMZ, after twenty years of friendship, Evans and Stevie J were married in 2018. In an interview with The Breakfast Club in 2016, Stevie J said, “Once you start dating your best friend, it’s a little different.”
The marriage is the third for Evans, who is the widow of the late, great Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace. She was previously married to her former manager Todd Russaw with whom she has two children. She also has a daughter, Chyna, and a son Christopher Wallace, Jr., who is a cannabis entrepreneur.
This is Stevie J’s first marriage to Evans, however, he has six children from previous relationships. The GRAMMY award-winning producer was previously romantically linked to reality star, Joseline Hernandez. The two starred on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta and Stevie J & Joseline Go Hollywood.
In late 2019, the couple dispelled rumors that their marriage was ending after a series of cryptic tweets. “Found out that NO woman is faithful. Knew that & it’s a blessing to know.” The tweets were later deleted and Stevie J claimed that his Twitter was hacked.
Faith Evans has six albums under her belt. She has collaborated with numerous artists including her late husband, Notorious B.I.G., Diddy, Carl Thomas, and Whitney Houston.
