In a surprising turn of events, rapper Kevin Gates and social media personality Brittany Renner have ended their marriage just 52 days after tying the knot. The breakup was confirmed during an emotional video interview with DJ Bootleg Kev on REAL 92.3 Los Angeles, which premiered on YouTube on June 7.

The couple, who made their union public on May 5 at the season 5 premiere of Basketball Wives, had actually been married since April 6. But by May 28, they had already separated.

A 52-Day Marriage Ends Quietly

While many celebrity breakups play out in messy public drama, Renner took a calm, introspective approach in her interview. She explained that, under Islamic law, she is now observing a 90-day reconciliation period, a religious window that allows for reflection, healing, and the possibility of reconciling if both parties choose.

“I followed my heart,” said Renner. “That’s more than what most people can say in this world. And I have no shame in that.”

No Regrets, Just Growth

The 33-year-old model, influencer, and reality TV star was clear that the breakup wasn't part of any plan. In fact, she expressed deep spiritual peace about the whole experience.

“I don't feel like it's a sucky situation,” Renner explained. “Because what is meant to be is always going to be. I gave 100 percent [in the marriage]. All is well.”

Renner added that the brief union gave her time to reconnect with herself and her faith, as she continues her journey as a devout Muslim. Her conversion to Islam was announced publicly earlier this year, coinciding with the news of her marriage to Gates.

A Love That Was Once a Dream

When their relationship was first revealed, it was clear that Renner was head over heels for Kevin Gates. At the Basketball Wives premiere in May, she spoke warmly of the rapper, saying:

“His name echoes in every chamber of my heart. It's hard to describe a love like that. All I can say is, I'm with the person that I quite literally dreamed of.”

She also flashed a massive diamond ring in a now-viral Instagram video, filmed during the premiere event. Fans were excited about the couple, whose relationship seemed rooted in deep emotional and spiritual connection.

Kevin Gates Hasn’t Spoken Out (Yet)

As of now, Kevin Gates has not publicly addressed the divorce or Renner’s interview. The rapper, known for his emotionally intense lyrics and outspoken personality, has remained silent on social media regarding the separation.

It’s worth noting that Kevin Gates has had a rollercoaster of a personal life in recent years, including an on-again, off-again relationship with his longtime partner Dreka Gates. Whether he will eventually share his side of the story remains to be seen.

Faith and Forward Motion

Brittany Renner’s interview is not just about a breakup. It’s about growth, belief, and staying true to yourself—even when life takes unexpected turns. Her embrace of Islam, her commitment to personal reflection, and her dignified handling of the divorce have earned her a wave of support online.

In her words:

“This gave me time to reconnect with myself… I feel good. I'm at peace.”
