According to People, Kevin also had a two-month-long spiritual marriage to Basketball Wives star Brittany Renner. Kevin is a devout Muslim, and Renner converted to be with the rapper.

"Islam has made my life better in every single category," she said. "And like my husband says, the closer you get to God, the more you get. And literally in every category of my life. I mean, dreams happen. It has been really beautiful. It's changed my life. It's for the better."

Brittany also said that Kevin was the man of her dreams.

"All I can say is, is that I'm with the person that I quite literally dreamed of," she added. "And to be able to just wake up next to him and spend time with him, even to have him here behind me, it's like so surreal. He's just the most beautiful person inside and out that I've ever met."

She later told REAL 92.3 LA that she and Kevin had ended their spiritual marriage after 52 days.

“We got married April 6 and divorced May 28,” she said.
