Jeezy’s filing comes more than two years after he and former co-host of ‘The Real’ tied the knot.
Jeezy and Jeannie Mai‘s pending divorce stems from “different views.”
A source tells Et that the 45-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jay Wayne Jenkins, and the former co-host of The Real weren’t on the same page when it came to “certain family values and expectations.”
“They had different views, and each felt like their needs weren’t being completely met,” the source explains.
Mai, 44, and Jeezy were first linked in January 2019, and a source confirmed their relationship to Et in April 2019. They made things Instagram official in September 2019. The couple went on to tie the knot during an intimate ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 27, 2021, before they welcomed their daughter, Monaco, in January 2022.
Jeezy is also a dad to three older children — Jadarius, Shyheim and Amra — from previous relationships.

After Melissa Gilbert’s divorce from second husband Bruce Boxleitner, she went through a transformative time. She found herself dating the wrong guy, driving a car she didn’t need, and altering her appearance to appease the never-satisfied Hollywood machine. Then a roof fell on her head and it became crystal clear to her that she needed to make some big changes.

Not long after her divorce from Boxleitner, Gilbert hopped right back on the dating horse. She started seeing someone who wasn’t a good fit for her. She bought a new convertible. And she did what she could to appear younger than she was.
Around that time, she was invited to compete on Dancing With The Stars, an experience she looks back on negatively, calling it “the ultimate spray-tan-glitter-fake-hair-fake-everything festival of falsity.

Their Satanic Majesties Request is the sixth British and eighth American studio album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1967. The album sees the band experimenting with a more psychedelic sound, incorporating unique elements like sound effects and African rhythms.
Upon its release, the album was met with mixed reviews from critics. While many acknowledged it had a few good songs, the album didn’t work as a whole for many, and the psychedelic sound felt out of place for the Stones. However, Their Satanic Majesties Request was still a successful album,...

In a world where celebrity marriages don’t seem to last more than a few years, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker, have beat the reality TV curse and recently celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary. It wasn’t always easy, as Burruss’ mother was against their union for many years, but they said “I Do” anyway. Mama Joyce had concerns about Tucker not earning as much as Burruss. And while they may have started off making a slight difference in income, Tucker has never been a slacker. He was working in television production before meeting Burruss.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta stars are known for their verbal spats and throwing serious shade toward one another. While sometimes cast members have been called out for low blows, there haven’t been any accusations of racism or colorism as there has on Rhop. Longtime cast member Kandi Burruss says there’s a reason why those same conversations don’t apply to her franchise.
Kandi Burruss | Paras Griffin/Getty Images Colorism explained
The National Coalition of Christians and Jews defines colorism as “a practice of discrimination by which those with lighter skin are treated more favorably than those with darker skin. This practice is a product of racism in the United States, in that it upholds the white standards of beauty and benefits white people in the institutions of oppression.”

They reunited after nearly 20 years of estrangement in 2017, and Burruss says it was because she learned producer Carlos King sold a movie about the group’s life. She recently explained how she learned of the biopic.

Yellowstone is one of the most popular TV shows around. The show has been credited for causing a surge of renewed interest in the Western genre, and has launched several spinoffs — with more on the way.

Cruise looked Field in the eye and told the budding auteur that he would one day be a director. “He basically pushing me onto the fighter jet,” Field recalls to Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast. “I said, ‘oh yeah, I went to film school.’ And he said, ‘no, no…you’re going to Direct.’ What are you going to do?”
That moment with the superstar had a profound effect on Field, who was then pursuing an acting career, with previous film credits that included “Radio Days” (1987) and “Sleep with Me” (1994).

But, as viewers will come to see when the new seventh season — the first to air in 16 years — premieres on Oct. 24, the reality TV newcomer overcame his fear and nerves and ended up becoming somewhat of a peacekeeper among the star-studded cast.
“I guess the mind-blowing part would be the constant having to put out fires in the house type thing amongst people,” Alsina said. “Somehow I, you know, was tapped upon to kind of help deal with situations in the house amongst people for situations that I actually wasn’t a part of to even see exactly what happened.”
