On the outside, it looked like Jeezy and Jeannie Mai were madly in love, but in September 2023, the rapper shocked everyone by filing for divorce from the talk show host. According to Page Six, documents revealed Jeezy said his marriage to Mai was “irretrievably broken,” and he was seeking joint custody of their daughter, Monaco, born in January 2022. Initially, details regarding the separation were scarce, but as the couple’s divorce unfolded, the reason behind their unexpected split was revealed.
A report by ET unraveled that Jeezy and Mai had differences when it came to “certain family values and expectations.” A source told the outlet, “They had different views, and each felt like their needs weren’t being completely met.” It’s unclear exactly what those differences in views were, but it was enough to have the rapper end his marriage to the TV personality. In fact, the documents revealed that “there is no hope for reconciliation.”

A month after Jeezy filed for divorce from Mai, he broke his silence on the situation, per The Los Angeles Times. He said, “The decision to end this chapter in my life was not made impulsively and comes with a heavy heart. Despite this, my love and respect for Jeannie remains and the time we spent together holds a cherished place in my heart.” Although the rapper revealed he didn’t make this decision “impulsively,” it was apparently a surprise to Mai.
