Jeezy Initiates Divorce Proceedings from Jeannie Mai after 2 Years: ‘Reconciliation Not Viable
In a surprising turn of events, rapper Jeezy, whose real name is Jay Wayne Jenkins, has filed for divorce from his wife, Jeannie Mai, after just two years of marriage.
Rapper Jeezy : The Divorce Filing
The divorce petition was submitted to Georgia’s Superior Court of Fulton County, and it contains a somber declaration: “the marriage of the parties is irretrievably broken,” and it firmly states, “there is no hope for reconciliation.”
Child Custody and Prenuptial Agreement
One notable aspect of the divorce is Jeezy’s request for joint legal custody of their daughter, who was born in January 2022. Their marriage was prenuptial agreement-backed, and Jeezy fully anticipates that this agreement will be enforced, as mentioned in the divorce documents.

Awaiting Further Information
USA TODAY has made attempts to reach out to the representatives of both Jeannie Mai and Jeezy for additional information on the divorce proceedings.
A Look Back at Their Relationship
Jeannie Mai, former host of “The Real,” and Jeezy’s love story began quietly in 2021 during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Their engagement took place while they were quarantining a year prior to their wedding.
Mai shared insights into their decision to wed during uncertain times, saying, “After Jeezy’s mother unexpectedly passed, 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 went on to explain how they transformed their original wedding plans into a smaller “mini-mony” due to COVID restrictions.
Jeannie Mai’s custom, nude-colored Galia Lahav wedding dress and a matching 15-foot veil were standout features of their intimate wedding, while Jeezy donned a champagne blush tuxedo from Teofilo Flor.
Celebrity Splits on the Rise
Their divorce joins the list of recent celebrity separations, including Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, Britney Spears and Sam Asghari, and Sofía Vergara and Joe Mangianello, among others. It appears that even in the world of the rich and famous, love stories sometimes take unexpected turns.
