All about Snoop Dogg’s relationship with wife, Shante Broadus
Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., met Shante in the 1980s while they were both attending the same high school in California. Adorably, they even attended prom together in 1989. The two then tied the knot in 1997 (via People).
Still going strong, they have three kids together: Corde, 29, Cordell, 26, and Cori 24. Snoop Dogg also has 25-year-old Julian from a previous relationship.
In a 2023 interview on TODAY, the ”Drop it Like It’s Hot” rapper discussed what makes his marriage work.
“I think because we were both young and we were both willing to sacrifice for each other. She knew what my dreams and goals was, and at the same time, I knew what hers were.”
He continued: “To have a family and to be who we are. We both wanted to get to that goal, and when we reached it, it was hard, definitely, because you got so many different things pulling you away from marriage, and people divorcing every other day.
But when you truly love somebody, there ain’t nothing you can do to break that up and I feel like that was true love at first sight.”
In 2021, Shante officially became Snoop Dogg’s manager. In a press release, he spoke about how she has stuck with him through thick and thin with his career.
“Shante has been guiding my career behind the scenes from day one. She has always been my final gut check with all my decisions, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. I am grateful to have her as my official manager, helping to build the Snoop Dogg empire together,” he said.
Shante herself commented: “I have been by Snoop’s side for over two decades so together with the rest of the team, our goal is to strengthen Snoop’s legacy as a brand with the loyalty and trust of our guidance that has made Snoop who he is today.”
