The couple tied the knot in March 2020. The rapper planned to propose to Jeannie during a trip to Vietnam in April 2020. However, that could not happen because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The duo reportedly started dating in 2018 and made their first public appearance on the red carpet of the Street Dreamz gala for the rapper's nonprofit.
