It might have shocked some when the initial news broke that Beyoncé was dating rap icon Jay-Z. But, this couple seems to have made it last and become one of the most popular couples in the rap and music industry.
Let’s be honest — though Jay-Z is a super talented producer/musician and a pretty intelligent guy, he’s not the best-looking gentleman. But, standing next to his amazing wife, he absolutely shines bright!
Dre and Nicole Young
There are a handful of rappers that, when you say their names, Hall of Fame status comes to mind. Many of these hail from the ’80s and early ’90s, though, perhaps one of the biggest stars to come out of that era is Dr. Dre.
In 1996, Dr. Dre found his soulmate in Nicole Young. They’ve been married for 15 years and have several children together. But, when you see them side by side, it’s easy to see that this beautiful woman might be a little out of his league.
Ice Cube and Kimberly Woodruff
When we think of rappers nowadays, many think of talented lyricists who aren’t as talented at keeping a girlfriend for longer than a week. But, many old-school rappers actually have managed to maintain a romantic relationship for lengthy periods of time.
Ice Cube may be better known as an actor nowadays, but he was one of the founding fathers of rap in the ’80s. and during almost his entire career, he’s been involved with Kimberly Woodruff, a stunning woman he was lucky enough to make fall in love with him.
LL Cool J and Simone Smith
LL Cool J is not a bad-looking guy. In fact, many women would happily put him on their heartthrob list. Even still, when you see him with his wife of 15 years, you might notice that he definitely found someone that was a little out of his league.
Simone Smith isn’t just an amazing and loving mother, but she’s also a shrewd businesswoman with an amazing sense of style. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s incredibly intelligent, too.
It’s fun to follow the romantic lives of celebrities. Watching the revolving door of relationships and the people that your favorite celebrities hook up with can be a full-time job. Especially in the world of rap, where it seems like there’s a new “it” couple almost daily. From Chance the Rapper to Gucci Mane, the rappers on this list may be iconic — but behind every great man, there’s an even greater woman. These rappers’ wives and girlfriends are way out of their husband’s league!
