Jeannie Mai Ex Husband Has Baby on Theway

Jeannie Mai, The Real co-host and Dancing With the Stars contestant, and Jeezy are expecting their first child. The couple have been together since 2018 and are clearly besotted with each other.

Viewers of The Real will be familiar with their love story because Mai has opened up several times on the show about finding her "equal" in Jeezy, and how meeting him has redefined her sense of what she deserves from a partner.

"I didn't even know until my new relationship that something as basic, even something as basic as like at his birthday party, he left his birthday to drive me to the airport. He was looking at me like 'Are you crazy? I need to see you off. I'm going to drive you to the airport. So I'm just saying... just be mindful of your standards," Mai said during a tearful October 2020 conversation on The Real.

During a previous episode of the talk show, Mai got emotional while discussing her divorce from ex-husband Freddy Harteis, and how she overcame such a dark time in her life.

"If you guys have friends that have been divorced, it is one of the most traumatic things that can happen because you just feel like you failed, you feel embarrassed of all those people that were there at your wedding," she said. "You get jaded. I remember telling you guys, 'I'm not getting married again' ... The thing I think that saved me is that I never gave up on love. I never gave up on love because love is so omnipresent and it's so healing that the only reason why I recognize healthy love with Jay today is because I took that time to love myself."

She continued, "The divorce hurt. People change. People behave in ways that you didn't expect it. It makes you completely not able to trust anybody after that."

If her tough but inspiring journey left you wanting more, here's a full timeline of Mai and Jeezy's romance.

Although their relationship wasn't public knowledge at the time, the couple began "quietly dating" in the late fall of 2018, according to People. They met on the set of Mai's daytime talk show The Real.

Almost a full year later, Mai reflected on her early courtship with Jeezy during an episode of the show. "I just got to know him in November," she said. "He's introspective. He's passionate. He's incredibly deep. He's a visionary. He's a great leader. He's an amazing servant to his community."

January 2019: The couple appear together in an Instagram photo.

Romance rumors began to swirl after Mai and Jeezy appeared together in a group photo on actress Malika Haqq's Instagram. Around the same time, Mai admitted during an episode of The Real that there was something developing. "Jeezy and I hang out," she said at the time. "He's very special to me, so we don't really have a label to define what it is we're doing. We're just having a good time together."

"The things I've been criticized for my whole life and in my past relationships, 'Jeannie you're too deep, you think about things too much,' 'Why's everything got to have a purpose?' I'm not one for small talk or small conversations, I want to know, 'Why do you think the way you do? What brought you to look at things the way you do? Who are you? Who's important to you? And I found my equal," she explained to co-hosts Adrienne Houghton, Loni Love, and Tamera Mowry-Housley.

Mai revealed on The Real back in November that she and her beau had spent their first Thanksgiving together in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.

"It was an unforgettable, surreal moment," Mai said during the show, per People. "It was the first time that we obviously spent Thanksgiving together, and to be able to have an intimate dinner with his family," she said. "They're all such lovely people, and they're fun."

Mai added that this was her first time meeting much of Jeezy's extended family. "They got mad cousins!" she joked, adding that Jeezy's aunt even brought an incredibly sweet surprise just for Mai. "[His aunt] came with Tupperware, chitlins and oxtail, and they were just for me!" she said. "They weren't for everyone, and she was like, 'These are just for you, don't let anyone else have them.' It was so wonderful to meet his family and be able to spend time together. It was special."

April 2020: Jeezy proposes to Mai.

The couple announced their engagement on Monday, April 6. According to People, Jeezy was originally planning to propose during a trip to Vietnam, which was cancelled amidst widespread travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Undeterred, Jeezy instead surprised Mai with a proposal during a date night at home in Los Angeles. "Jeannie and Jay were set for a trip to Vietnam this April.

This is Mai's second marriage, and she's been open in the past about how different her relationship with Jeezy is from her relationship to ex-husband Harteis. "My own standards were low," she said of her first marriage. "We can go into a whole counseling session on why I only gave myself the bare minimum."

She added that taking time to get to know herself post-divorce was crucial, and allowed her to recognize something truly great when it came along. "For me, being alone in that time that I took to myself was my upgrade," she noted. "That was my upgrade."

"Quarantine made me realize how short life can be. I realized when we grow up, we start sticking to "safe" or "familiar," So I vowed to myself to start doing things I feared," Mai wrote on an Instagram post. Ballroom dancing in front of America definitely counts. We can bet that Jeezy will be the loudest voice on #TeamDreamofJeannie.

March 2021: Jeannie and Jeezy get married.

Like many couples, Mai and Jeezy's original plans were disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So, instead of getting married at Lake Como, they had an intimate ceremony at their Atlanta home.

"We were really looking forward to having all of our friends and family there to celebrate," Mai told Vogue . "But 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. And at the end of the day, Jeezy and I really just wanted to become husband and wife. So we decided to turn our original wedding into a mini-mony, where we exchanged our vows in front of our immediate family and a few close friends."

September 2021: The couple announces they're expecting a child.

Speaking to Women's Health, Mai opened up about her fertility journey. Mai and Jeezy opted to try in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Mai said the process "wasn't easy." She had a miscarriage soon before their March 2021 wedding. "I wondered if I was being punished. I wondered if I'd jinxed myself or cursed myself," Mai told Women's Health.

Until she met Jeezy, Mai never wanted children. "When I say never, I'm talking a hard-stop never," she said. Her relationship made her see other possibilities. "Falling in love with Jeezy made me see life differently for myself. Our love is honest, pure, and safe…something I hadn't felt as a child," she said. The child is expected to arrive in 2021.
