DMX and his ex-wife were together for ten years before getting married in 1998. Their union, however, came to an end in 2012 when Simmons filed for divorce. Together, the duo shares four children, Xavier, Tacoma, Praise Mary Ella, and Sean.

Speaking about her marriage to the rapper, Simmons reportedly admitted that things got more challenging for them as DMX became more successful. For them, the glitz and glamour came with a price.

Shortly after filing for divorce in 2010, Simmons opened up about her decision, noting that she did not regret a thing about her marriage to DMX despite how everything turned out.

She admitted to losing herself in the marriage but added that she would go on the journey with DMX again if she had to because he taught her a lot during their time together.

It, therefore, came as no surprise that even after their divorce, Simmons and DMX maintained a cordial co-parenting relationship and remained best of friends till the very end.
