"Jeannie Mai Opens Up About Finding Strength and Turning to Faith Amidst Divorce"



 In an exclusive interview with The Shade Room, Jeannie Mai shared her candid thoughts about coping with her ongoing divorce proceedings. The conversation with Sherri Shepherd took place after Jeannie Mai broke her social media silence following the headlines about her estranged husband, Jeezy, filing for divorce last month.


The rapper filed for divorce on September 14 in Atlanta, Georgia, citing an "irretrievably broken" marriage with "no hope for reconciliation." The court documents also revealed that the couple had been living in a "bona fide state of separation."


While it remains unclear when their separation began, Jeannie Mai had posted a sweet note celebrating Jeezy's memoir just a week before the divorce filing. She expressed her admiration, saying, "Honored to walk beside you, my love."


During the interview, Jeannie Mai did not provide specific details about what led to the divorce proceedings or her current relationship status with Jeezy. However, she did emphasize how she's turning to her faith during this challenging time.


Jeannie Mai expressed, "You know, I’m not gonna lie, it takes every day to just really sit and be quiet in your thoughts. Take care of me. But one thing I know is: you give God your pain, he will give you his power. So every day I’m like here. You got room for more? Here’s some more. And just taking it day by day, you know."


Jeezy and Jeannie Mai welcomed their only child together, Monaco, in January 2022. In his divorce filing, Jeezy reportedly requested joint legal custody of Monaco. However, there is no additional public information available about their current co-parenting arrangements amid the divorce.


During her conversation with Sherri Shepherd, Jeannie talked about how being a mother has influenced her approach to handling the separation. She emphasized the significance of her daughter, Monaco, as her "north star" and how it has changed her perspective.


"Monaco. That is my north star, and I can definitely tell you I don’t know if I would handle this the same without her. Today, I’m able to look at her and say, ‘What would I advise you if you were in my shoes?’ And it changes everything, so I’m so thankful to be a mom, and I’m thankful to have her," Mai shared.


Despite the personal challenges she is facing, Jeannie Mai continues to move forward professionally. She recently secured a hosting gig on CBS' new game show, "Raid The Cage," alongside Damon Wayans Jr.
