Jeezy, Jeannie Mai's Relationship Timeline: Marriage to Divorce

November 2018

These days, stars soft launch their hard launches while announcing a new relationship, but not for these two.

After meeting on the set of Jeannie’s former workplace, The Real, the pair went on their first date. However, she didn’t speak about it until nearly one year later.

“I just got to know him in November,” she said during a September 2019 episode of the defunct show. “He’s introspective. He’s passionate. He’s incredibly deep. He’s a visionary. He’s a great leader. He’s an amazing servant to his community.”

The “Put On” artist planned to propose to Jeannie in Vietnam, but COVID-19 had other plans. However, Jeezy didn’t let that stop his plans and popped the big question at home.

“He did exactly what I know him to do during a time where you would think life would stop. Jay continued with life no matter what,” she told her costars shortly after the engagement. “And when it comes to marriage, it’s not just the perfect moments, it’s really about those times, who are you, who is your character when things hit the fan. To see him be the relentless, tenacious man I fell in love with, it puts a whole new meaning to this ring to me.”

“We quickly learned that life is too short. And at the end of the day, Jeezy and I really just wanted to become husband and wife,” she told Vogue, continuing, “So, we decided to turn our original wedding into a mini-mony, where we exchanged our vows in front of our immediate family and a few close friends.”
