A HEART-MELTING PROPOSAL

Johnson and Rushing started their romance in 2017. The couple who share a two-year-old daughter, Reign, announced their engagement in November 2019 on social media.

Rushing made Johnson say "yes" after his heart-melting helicopter proposal, which was shown on the season finale of "T.I. & Tiny: Friends And Family Hustle."

The reality star also has a daughter, Reginae Carter, from ex-husband, rapper Lil Wayne. She was also previously married to producer Memphitz Wright, whom she divorced in 2015.

DEFYING SAFETY PROTOCOLS

Rushing’s birthday celebration didn’t push through given the circumstance he is in. But during Reginae’s 22nd birthday celebration in Atlanta, many of her guests defied safety protocols.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Reginae’s special day which was a star-studded one was full packed. Social distancing was not followed as well.

Back in April, Reginae and Johnson shared their quarantine lifestyle. Talking to friends and family members on FaceTime or Zoom became an everyday activity during the stay-at-home order.

Isolating at home was not easy for the mother-daughter duo as they were used to going out. But because of the situation, they were able to discover their hidden talents while staying indoors.
