Brittany Renner Confirms Divorce From Kevin Gates After 52 Days of Marriage
In a bombshell revelation that’s sent shockwaves through social media, influencer and Basketball Wives star Brittany Renner has confirmed that her whirlwind marriage to rapper Kevin Gates has officially come to an end just 52 days after saying “I do.”
Renner, 33, made the announcement during a candid interview with REAL 92.3 LA, offering a rare glimpse into her short-lived union with the 39-year-old Louisiana rapper. Despite the brevity of their marriage, Renner’s tone was anything but bitter. Instead, she expressed peace, acceptance, and a deep sense of personal clarity.
A Marriage That Burned Bright and Fast
“We got married April 6 and divorced May 28,” Renner stated plainly, without drama or tears. For some, a marriage that ends after less than two months might signal heartbreak or scandal, but Renner sees it differently. “I don’t feel like it’s a sucky situation because what is meant to be is always going to be.”
Her words suggest that the decision to part ways wasn’t born out of chaos, but from a mutual understanding and emotional maturity that many celebrity breakups often lack. There were no explosive Instagram rants, no cryptic tweets—just a woman who followed her heart, and now, chooses peace.
“I Followed My Heart”
Renner emphasized that despite how things turned out, she has no regrets. “I followed my heart, and that’s what more than most people can say,” she said. “When you do that, you get all the clarity you need. There’s no stone left unturned, and there’s no regret.”
Her philosophy is striking, especially in a world where public relationships often collapse under the weight of unspoken expectations and tabloid scrutiny. Renner’s message is clear: when you give something your all, the outcome, good or bad, becomes secondary to the growth and self-respect gained along the way.
She continued, “A lot of people, their issue is, even just in dating, in marriage, it’s people just don’t give it their all. They don’t just go for it. But I feel like when you do, you’re at peace with whatever happens because I gave 100 percent.”
From Dream to Reality—Then Goodbye
What makes the breakup even more surprising is how recently Renner had spoken glowingly of her then-husband. In a May interview with PEOPLE, she described their relationship as a dream come true. “All I can say is, is that I’m with the person that I quite literally dreamed of. And to be able to just wake up next to him and spend time with him… it’s like so surreal.”
She didn’t hold back her admiration. “He’s just the most beautiful person inside and out that I’ve ever met.”
But even the most dreamlike relationships can fall apart when the reality doesn’t match the fantasy. And while fans may never know exactly what led to the split, what is clear is that both parties are choosing to keep things respectful and private. Neither Renner nor Gates’ representatives have publicly commented further on the divorce.
Lives Beyond the Headlines
This marriage may have been short, but both Renner and Gates come with full lives outside of their recent union.
Renner is a well-known media personality and author who first rose to fame on social media, where she became known for her candid takes on love, motherhood, and female empowerment. She shares a four-year-old son with NBA player P.J. Washington and has been open about the highs and lows of co-parenting and single motherhood.
Kevin Gates, a rapper known for hits like “2 Phones” and “Really Really,” has long been a complex figure in hip-hop, known for his spiritual reflections, raw lyrics, and occasional controversy. He is also a father of four, and has spoken publicly in the past about his dedication to family and personal growth.
What This Split Teaches Us About Love and Risk
Renner’s story isn’t just another celebrity divorce it’s a reminder that love, even when brief, can be transformational. She leaned in, took a risk, and came out with her head held high. And that’s not a narrative we often hear.
In today’s culture of quick takes and public spectacle, her grounded perspective is a breath of fresh air. Love doesn’t always last forever, but that doesn’t mean it was a failure. Sometimes, the bravest thing a person can do is try—and then, when needed, let go with grace.
So while their 52-day marriage may raise eyebrows, it’s also a powerful example of emotional intelligence and the courage to follow one’s heart, wherever it may lead.
And for Renner, that heart now leads to peace, clarity, and perhaps, a brand-new chapter waiting just around the corner.
