Dating Since High School, The Love Story of Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus That's Unexpected

Kapanlagi.com - Believe it or not, Shante Broadus and Snoop Dogg have been dating since their teenage years, specifically during high school. As reported by parade.com, they met when they were still students at Long Beach Polytechnic High School. Their dating story is quite classic, as shared by the rapper on VladTV.

"I had to go to her house and meet her mother," said Snoop Dogg. "I had to go there and date her for, well, more than four months before we could kiss. I had to call her on the phone. I had to write love letters," he continued.

1. Married in 1997

Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus got married on June 14, 1997, at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in California. At the time of their marriage, Snoop was already an MTV star thanks to his collaboration with Dr. Dre and his solo career.

"We were friends at first, then became parents. He (Snoop Dogg) is a businessman, but we help each other," Shante told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. "I think he can't do this job without me, honestly. He can't handle it alone. Too many things." Shante continued.

2. Their Child Diagnosed with Lupus

Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus have three children together: two sons Cordé, born in 1994, and Cordell, born in 1997. They also have a daughter, Cori, who was born in 1999. This rapper also has another son, Julian, from a different relationship, born in 1998.

Snoop and Mrs. Snoop always support Cori when she faces lupus. In fact, that's what makes their family stronger.

"It's amazing how everything has changed," Broadus said to PEOPLE in 2010, telling the story of Cori's lupus diagnosis and starting treatment. "Actually, we were almost divorced. But if that's the case, we wouldn't have overcome this problem." Snoop added, "That's the point. Cori's lupus shows that we always have to be together."

Despite being wealthy, Snoop only married his beloved wife once. Who would have expected this rapper's love story?
