Jeezy and Jeannie Mai can finally close the chapter on their short-lived marriage. The two have finalized their divorce.
As reported on TMZ, the high profile couple have formally dissolved their union. According to the documentation obtained by the celebrity gossip site, the request to legally split was agreed by the Superior Court of Fulton County in Georgia. In an effort to keep the details of the divorce private the couple have decided to keep the case sealed. This means the particulars regarding child support, custody and asset splits.
The two originally started dating exclusively back in early 2019 and then went public with their relationship that August. During the height of the pandemic Jeezy proposed to Jeannie Mai to which she said yes. On March 27, 2021, the two would jump the broom in a private ceremony at their Atlanta home. In an interview with Vogue, Jeannie revealed the then couple was supposed to marry earlier, but they had to postpone it. “We had to change all of our wedding plans due to COVID. After Jeezy’s mother unexpectedly passed, we quickly learned that life is too short” she said. “And at the end of the day, Jeezy and I really just wanted to become husband and wife.”
Unfortunately, their bliss was short-lived. On Sept. 14, 2023 the “Put On” rapper filed for divorced citing the two were “currently living in a bona fide state of separation,” and that their marriage is “irretrievably broken” with “no hope for reconciliation.” The two share a daughter together.

We know you care. The Jeezy and Jeannie Mai saga continues.
*Trigger warning: this story contains incidents of domestic violence.*
Just a week ago, word on the street was that Jeezy was no longer seeking primary care for his daughter Monaco; instead, he wanted to ensure that his ex, former host of The Real, Jeannie Mai, had equal parenting time.
Then, a bomb was dropped on Thursday, April 25, by Mai in the form of domestic abuse allegations, along with some photo evidence per TMZ’s reporting.
Per TMZ:
In her filing, Jeannie outlines a few different instances of alleged abuse — including claims that Jeezy is prone to explosive outbursts, excessive drinking, and domestic violence.
Jeannie cites one alleged incident from April 2022, when she says they were at the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco, and claims Jeezy choked her from behind while she was going up some stairs, and alleges he even pushed her down those same stairs.
Jeezy Denies Jeannie Mai’s Claims, Provides Receipts
It didn’t take long, but Jeezy immediately shot down those claims and had receipts in the form of text messages and photos provided to the blog, The Jasmine Brand.
In one of her claims, Mai points to an incident involving a golf cart in April 2022. In the photos provided by the “Put On” crafter, he alleges the golf cart incident was nothing but a mere accident, no one was to blame, and they both suffered injuries, adding it took place in June 2022.
Instead of being civil, this situation continues to get ugly. Social media, of course, has thoughts on the matter.
“Jeezy a black man in America and thought he was getting joint custody of an Asian lady baby. They must’ve never sold common sense at his trap house,” one user on X, formerly Twitter, wrote.
Another X user wrote, “seeing straight black men pretend to care about being fetishized by women to help protect jeezy from abuse allegations is so funny. they’re so see-thru.”
We sincerely hope these two can be civil for the sake of their daughter.

After being banned by the Snowman, oops, we mean hit with a gut punch after Jeezy filed for divorce, Jeannie Mai is taking a much-needed break from social media “to heal.”
Spotted on Page Six, the former co-host of The Real is putting her mental health front and center following her shocking divorce from Jeezy.
The television host announced her break with a photo of a handwritten note with the message, “Sometimes, you need to take a break and disconnect, to heal,” with just a black heart emoji in the caption on her Instagram account.
Mai’s announcement comes after Page Six exclusively learned from a source that she was “devastated” by Jeezy putting their union on ice.
Per Page Six:
“The truth is Jeannie wants her marriage to work and wants her family to be one solid unit,” the insider said.
“Even though Jeezy has filed, Jeannie is holding out hope that he would be willing to sit down and works things [out]. She is hoping for a resolution and wants to remain as a united family unit.”
The Jeezy/Mai union ended after the 46-year-old “Put On” crafter filed for divorce on September 15, after two years of what everyone assumed to be a happy marriage.
Jeannie Mai & Jeezy Were Separated Before The Divorce
In court documents obtained by Page Six, the rapper, born Jay Jenkins, said he and Mai were already separated at the time, noting that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
Jeezy also seeks joint custody of the now-former couple’s 1-year-old daughter Monaco.
According to TMZ, Mai and Jeezy are reportedly still living together while being separated for the sake of their child.
The celebrity gossip site reports that they barely interact with each other even though they still live under the same roof.
While Mai struggles mentally, Jeezy seems to enjoy his newfound “freedom” and promoting his book while posting cryptic messages on social media.
Maybe there is still room for some reconciliation.
