The couple, who have a combined 10 children from previous relationships, first met in the 1990s and were friends for 20 years before their relationship turned romantic.

Faith Evans' arrest for domestic violence against Stevie J

Faith Evans Arrest for Domestic Violence Against Stevie J

Grammy award-winning singer Faith Evans was arrested in May/June 2020 for felony domestic violence against her husband, producer Stevie J.

The Incident

Police were called to the couple's Los Angeles home in the early hours of the morning after reports of a heated argument that turned violent. When they arrived, officers noticed visible marks and scratches on Stevie J's face. As a result, Evans was arrested and booked for felony domestic violence. She posted bond and was released the same day.

The Aftermath

Despite the incident, the couple remained together, with Stevie J telling The Shade Room, "That's my wife and I love her! I'm not going anywhere!". He also devoted an Instagram post to his wife, calling her a "true Queen" and expressing his gratitude for their relationship.

Previous Rumors of Trouble

The arrest came amid previous rumors of trouble in the couple's marriage. In 2019, they unfollowed each other on social media and Stevie J posted a series of cryptic tweets, which he later claimed were due to his Twitter account being hacked. However, they denied the allegations at the time, with Evans stating, "You can't believe everything that you hear."

Case Outcome

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office ultimately declined to prosecute Evans as the alleged victim, Stevie J, declined to testify against her. He stated that he never wanted her arrested or prosecuted and only called the police because he wanted her out of the house.

Stevie J's tattoo of Faith Evans' face

Stevie J and Faith Evans are indeed married. The couple, who have collaborated on music together, tied the knot in 2018. They reportedly said their "I dos" in a Las Vegas hotel room, surrounded by family and friends.

In a display of his commitment to his wife, Stevie J got a tattoo of Evans' face on his abdomen in 2020. The tattoo, which is massive in size, was done by a tattoo artist and showed Evans' portrait from her 1998 album "Keep The Faith". Stevie J had worked on that album with his wife, who is a singer.

The tattoo came as a surprise to many, especially considering the couple's history of domestic disputes. In 2020, Evans was arrested and booked for felony domestic violence after a violent altercation with her husband that left visible marks and scratches on his face. Despite this incident, Stevie J has continued to profess his love and commitment to his wife, even taking to social media to share a loving birthday tribute to her.

The tattoo of Faith Evans' face is a bold and permanent display of Stevie J's love for his wife. While some fans have criticised the decision, calling it a "dumb mistake", others have praised the tasteful execution of the tattoo. It is a reminder that love can overcome obstacles and that commitment can be expressed in unique and unexpected ways.

Faith Evans' children from previous relationships

Faith Evans has four children from previous relationships. Her first child, Chyna Tahjere Griffin, was born during her relationship with music producer Kiyamma Griffin. Chyna's birth strained the couple's finances and relationship, and they broke up when Chyna was a few months old. Chyna grew up under her mother's care, and her stepfather, rapper Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace, developed a close relationship with her.

Evans and Wallace married in 1994 and had one child together, Christopher George Latore Wallace Jr. Their marriage was tumultuous and marked by infidelity, and they separated in early 1997. Wallace was murdered in a drive-by shooting in March 1997.

After separating from Wallace, Evans began a relationship with record company executive Todd Russaw, with whom she had two sons, Joshua and Ryder Evan Russaw. Joshua was born in 1998, the same year his parents married. The couple divorced in 2011, and their youngest son, Ryder, was born in 2008.

Evans' third marriage was to producer and TV personality Stevie J, also known as Steven Jordan, in 2018. They divorced in 2023. Stevie J did not father any of Evans' children.

The couple's joint album

R&B singer Faith Evans and producer Stevie J have had a tumultuous relationship, to say the least. The couple, who first met in 1994, have had three marriages between them before finding each other and tying the knot in 2018. They collaborated on music prior to their marriage, with Stevie J working on Evans' 1998 album "Keep The Faith".

Despite their long history, the couple shocked the world when they revealed they had wed in a shotgun wedding in Las Vegas. The pair had six children each from previous relationships, and they plan on having children together.

In 2020, Evans was arrested for felony domestic violence against her husband. She was released on bond, and the charges were later dropped. However, this did not deter Stevie J, who insisted his marriage was still going strong, stating, "I'm not going anywhere!". The couple was in the midst of completing their joint album, set to be released in September of that year.

The joint album will be the eighth for Evans, who has had a successful solo career spanning two decades and has sold over 20 million records worldwide. She has collaborated with numerous artists, including her late husband, Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace, with whom she recorded the Grammy-winning song "I'll Be Missing You".

Stevie J, born Steven Jordan, is also a Grammy award-winning producer. He has worked with artists such as Mariah Carey and has had a successful career in reality TV, starring in "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta".
