5 Details About Lil' Wayne's Girlfriend Of 6 Years And Their Secretive Relationship
They're a very private couple.
Getty This is going to be a big week for Lil Wayne. The rapper's long-awaited Tha Carter V release date is officially set for September 27, which also happens to be his birthday. But these aren't the only things Lil Wayne will be celebrating — likely along with Lil Wayne's girlfriend Dhea Sodano.
Rumors surrounding Wayne's secretive relationship with Sodano have been going on for a while now, even throughout his rumored relationships with other women, hospital stays, and even prison stints.
Dhea Sodano and Lil Wayne have been together for quite a long time, but their relationship has always been kept low-key and Dhea seems to be a pretty private person. So who is Dhea Sodano?
Here are some details about the famous rapper's fiancee and their secretive relationship.
1. They started dating in 2011.
The couple has been in a relationship for 8 years. The rapper and Sodano were first seen together in Miami back in 2011. Sodano is reportedly originally from Scottsdale, Arizona, where she worked as a waitress.
2. Lil Wayne may have proposed in 2012.
In 2012, the rapper's girlfriend was spotted with a ring on her finger, causing many to assume that he had popped the question. Lil Wayne had seemed to have announced the engagement through his Twitter with a tweet simply stating, "She said yes!" Of course, his fans were excited from the announcement and the news of the rapper's new relationship status started spreading around. However, the rapper quickly diffused the rumors by explaining on Twitter that he had only asked his girlfriend to be his Valentine and not to get married.
3. Is Sodano pregnant?
About a year ago, rumors started surfacing that Sodano may have been pregnant. In a Snapchat video from the rapper's birthday celebration, fans thought that Sodano appeared to have a baby bump. Although rumors of his fiancee's pregnancy have been swirling for a while, the couple has yet to have a child together.
4. Did Lil Wayne cheat on Sodano with Christina Milian?
The rapper was dating singer Christina Milian for a year somewhere between 2014 and 2015, which raised eyebrows since Lil Wayne was seemingly in a relationship with Dhea at the time. Milian even made a public statement regarding their breakup. "I've never loved anyone the way that I love Wayne, not even my ex-husband," Christina said in a confessional on her reality show. "I've never loved anyone the way that I love him. I've never had anyone understand me the way that he has."
When Sodano posted a shout-out through Instagram to Lil Wayne about their 7-year anniversary, fans became even more confused. They started posting comments about the rapper and Christina Milian, wondering whether he was really with her or Sodano.
5. She's a very private person.
Sodano seems to be very private with her personal life. Her Instagram account is private. Also, Lil Wayne rarely ever talks about her on his social media and actually hasn't even posted about her since 2012.
