After a little over two years of marriage, Jeezy and Jeannie Mae are headed to splitsville.
The Atlanta rap icon filed for divorce from the former daytime talk show host on Thursday. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday that legal documents were filed in Fulton County Superior Court by Jeezy — born Jay Wayne Jenkins. The estranged couple were reportedly separated before the filing and have a prenuptial agreement in place.
Jeezy, 45, is seeking joint legal custody of their daughter, Monaco, whose birth was announced Jan. 11.

Jeezy performs onstage during the Strength of a Woman’s MJB “Celebrating Hip Hop 50” concert at State Farm Arena on May 12, 2023 in Atlanta.
A post on the rapper’s Instagram yesterday seems to allude to the split, with the caption, “Too focused on who I’m becoming to focus on who’s not coming with me.” Many commenters clocked that he could be talking about his soon-to-be-ex.
The couple began dating in 2019 and married in March of 2021 in Atlanta at their home during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
Mai, who won an Emmy Award in 2018 for co-hosting “The Real,” was previously married to “The Hollywood Hunter” host Freddy Harteis for 10 years of marriage. They divorced in 2018.
The 44-year-old San Jose, California native reportedly met Jeezy when he was a guest on the nationally syndicated talk show and began dating him years later. The pair stepped out in public for the first time at the inaugural SnoBall Gala in Atlanta in 2019.
A former gang associate with numerous run-ins with the law, the Columbia, S.C., native has transformed himself into entrepreneur and philanthropist — founding the nonprofit origination Street Dreamz.
The “Lose My Mind” lyricist has three children from previous relationships.
Just last week, Mai and their toddler daughter shared a video congratulating Jeezy for becoming a New York Times bestselling author of his recently-released memoir “Adversity For Sale: You Gotta Believe.”
