Jeannie Mai Jenkins Breaks Silence After Jeezy Divorce Filing: 'Need to Take a Break and Disconnect to Heal'

The rapper filed for divorce from 'The Real' host on Sept. 14

Jeannie Mai Jenkins has broken her silence after her husband Jeezy filed for divorce last month.

On Wednesday, The Real host, 44, shared her first Instagram post since the rapper, 46, filed for divorce on Sept. 14, 2023 after two-and-a-half years of marriage.

The post featured the words, “Sometimes, you need to take a break and disconnect, to heal,” written in a notebook in black ink. The note was signed off with a heart, while Jenkins also captioned the post with a single black heart emoji.

Jeezy filed for divorce in Atlanta, Georgia, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE. The filing says the pair are "currently living in a bona fide state of separation," and that their marriage is "irretrievably broken" with "no hope for reconciliation."

The former couple married in March 2021 at their home in Atlanta. They welcomed their daughter Monaco in January 2022.

The divorce document states that Jeezy, whose real name is Jay Wayne Jenkins, wants to share joint legal custody of Monaco.

The “Put On” artist is also dad to son Jadarius Dykes, who was born in 1996, with Tynesha Dyke, and daughter Amra Nor Jenkins, who was born in 2014 to Jeezy and his then-partner, Mahlet “Mahi” Gebremedhin.

Just a week before the divorce filing, Jenkins had heaped praise on Jeezy for making the New York Times Best Seller list for his book, Adversity for Sale.
