Another time bomb has exploded in the entertainment industry, and that’s the divorce of rapper Jeezy and TV personality Jeannie Mai. Just two years after exchanging vows, the rapper filed for divorce from the TV host. While Jeannie has been reportedly devastated by the divorce, recent revelations by Tamera Mowry, co-host and friend of Jeannie, have revealed that there’s more to the story. So what did Tamera reveal about Jeezy and Jeannie Mai relationship? We’ll reveal that and more in this video. So, stay tuned as we dive in.
Before diving into the main issue, let’s take a look at the timeline of their relationship.
Jeezy and Jeannie’s initial encounter took place on November 18 on the set of “The Real.” While Jeannie was a co-host, Jeezy graced the show as a guest. Their chemistry was undeniable from the start, leading to the beginning of their romantic journey. After the meeting, the duo chose a path of discretion by keeping their budding relationship away from the public eye. It wasn’t until August 2019 that they chose to share their relationship status, revealing the bond they’d quietly nurtured. Moving forward in their journey, 2021 witnessed the couple exchange vows in a private ceremony, where they invited only those close to them due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
And in September 2021, the former Real co-host, Jeannie, revealed her pregnancy in an emotional announcement to her co-hosts. “I can definitely say that our real family is growing, and it’s been really hard to keep all of these secrets for you guys because we’ve had so much to reveal here at the show, including the fact that I am pregnant!” the co-host said during a broadcast.
Now to the main gist.
If we recall, Jeannie was previously married to Freddy Harteis, another TV personality, for 13 years. Speaking about Freddy during an October 2017 episode of The Real, Jeannie said, “To this day, and I mean this honestly, he’s the best man I know. I married him because he’s like my dad—very loyal, very compassionate, so funny, an awesome guy. And in our 13 years together, there were never any lies, no betrayal, no cheating, nothing.” In 2017, Freddy and Jeannie divorced for a reason largely believed to be the issue of childbearing. Jeannie wasn’t the type that wanted children when going into marriage, and she revealed that she had informed Freddy about not wanting children.
With the divorce hitting headlines, many fans have been curious about what led to the separation, especially given that Jeannie was blindsided. Yeah, you heard that right.
However, in a September 6 Instagram post, Jeannie gushed about Jeezy and his new memoir becoming a New York Best Time Seller, where she proudly called him her “husband” and wrote, “I’m endlessly grateful for your voice in this world. It is honorable to walk beside you, my love.”
In the accompanying video, Jeannie led Monaco in a prayer where she said, “God, I want to thank you for my family,” which the toddler repeated back. The former Style Network star also prayed with her daughter, “God, thank you for my daddy and his work to help people believe in themselves just like he teaches me.”
But the fact is that Jeezy had signed the divorce agreement in June and kept Jeannie ignorant of the whole thing.
All these posts point to the fact that Jeannie became aware of the divorce filing only when the public knew.
In this situation, there have been several speculations surrounding the real reason for their split.
Jeannie even became upset when her co-hosts interrupted her, suggesting that they had misinterpreted her comments. “What I meant is that I used to date black men. I think they’re attractive. But what I decided to stick to, and it just kept me happiest, was my man Freddie, who happens to be white,” referring to her then-husband Freddy Harteis.
Some speculate that Tamera Mowry’s comments about Jeannie might have had some truth to them. During their time as co-hosts on “The Real,” Tamera was known for calling out Jeannie for what she perceived as a lack of authenticity. In this case, Tamera’s suspicions about Jeannie’s behavior might have been valid from the start.
Meanwhile, a close friend of Jeannie revealed another probable reason for the divorce, which is vastly different from fan speculations. The person told news outlet MediaTakeOut that she suspects that it was Jeannie’s temper, which may have caused the end of their relationship.
And Jeannie has been open about her anger and disrespectful nature. In an interview last year, she explained how she exhibited anger and made disrespectful comments towards her ex-husband because she “didn’t respect” him.
So, what’s your take on this issue? Do you think Jeezy made the right decision by divorcing Jeanni? Let’s know your opinions in the comment section. Thanks for watching this video. See you soon!
