JESSICA GADSDEN’S EDUCATION AND CAREER

Jessica is not only the wife of a famous person, but she’s also a smart lady that always had education as her number one priority, like many other people trying to make it in such a competitive world.

After high school, she enrolled at the University of South Carolina-Columbia, where she eventually received a degree in journalism and mass communication. Later, the brilliant woman earned her Master in Business Administration’s degree from Webster University in Missouri.

Lastly, she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Bergen Community College in 2013.

HER RELATIONSHIP TO CHARLAMAGNE

Charlamagne Tha God and Jessica Gadsden first met in high school and started dating when he was 16-year-old. They’ve been together since then, going through thick and thin and forgiving some infidelities on both sides.

Now, they are the proud parents of three daughters.

For Charlamagne, the fact that his wife chose to stay with him even after a decade of marriage, is a great example not only of what love is about but also friendship and companionship.

Still, he says he doesn't feel worthy of his wife's love.

After being together for 16 years, the couple finally tied the knot in 2014, and it was all thanks to one of their daughters, as he explained in an interview with XO Nicole:

“Me and the mother of my kids have been together since high school. When you have your seven-year-old daughter asking why you and mommy don’t have the same last name, that affects you as a man. It made me think, ‘Well, why don’t we? What’s stopping me from taking that next step?’”

They’ve been legally married for only four years, but they are one of the few couples in the entertainment industry that can boast about being high school sweethearts.

PROTECTING THEIR KIDS

Although the couple has welcomed three daughters, they decided to keep all of their information—including their names—far from the public’s knowledge.

On a rare occasion, while discussing weird names and its origins, Charlamagne decided to share on Twitter that his eldest daughter has a Muslim name, his second a Greek name, and his third an African name, “and all of them have righteous powerful meanings,” he continued.

The 41-year-old also talked about how becoming a father of three black girls changed his perspective on life, as he realized how wrong men tend to behave, and how some toxic conducts have been fostered in the community for decades, inevitably affecting women.

As he said:

“We would objectify women and think we could basically have our way, but now when you have a daughter, and you see everything that women are going through, I want to be a part of the solution, not the problem.”

JESSICA’S SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE

Part of Charlagmane and Jessica’s plan to protect their daughters is not sharing anything related to them on social media.

In fact, Jessica Godsen’s Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter accounts are non-existent.

“I’m not raising my kids via social media. I never felt like that was a place for my family to be,” Charlamagne told XO Necole.

He added that, although he doesn’t judge anyone who does share everything about their kids, he has some famous friends that said they wish they would have listened to him because now strangers know their kids’ names and faces and want to take their pics.

“We live in a creepy world where people want to take photos with celebrities' family members, and that doesn’t make sense to me,” he concluded.
