Lil Durk's 6 Children

Lil Durk was 17 when he became a father for the first time and now has six children. He welcomed his firstborn in 2011 with his then-girlfriend Nicole Covone and named him Angelo Banks. Lil Durk and Covone had been together for about three years when they became parents after becoming a couple in 2008.

The rapper and Covone went on to have another child about two years later, in 2013. They named their daughter Bella Banks; however, the couple went their separate ways soon after their baby girl was born.

Soon after Bella Banks's birth, Lil Durk welcomed his third child, a son named Zayden Banks. He was born a few months after the musician had his first daughter Bella. The child's mother is unknown.

The following year, 2014, Lil Durk revealed that he had become a dad for the fourth time. That child was Du'mier Banks. There are no public details about the mother of his fourth child.

The Chicago native welcomed another daughter, who he named Skyler Banks, and the child's mom is allegedly Tameka Kute. Willow Banks joined Lil Durk's brood in October 2018.

Willow Bank's mom is Lil Durk's partner, India Royale, and the couple's relationship started in 2017. Royale became a mom for the second time as she already had a daughter from her previous relationship.

Lil Durk's girlfriend celebrated their daughter's second birthday in 2020 by sharing a photo of her adorable daughter, who she called her "twin," and further expressed that she was a handful, unlike her first daughter, who she said was "too sweet."

Meanwhile, Lil Durk is said to share images of his kids on social media often; uncharacteristically, the last photo he posted of his first son Angelo was in 2019.

Lil Durk Wants More Kids

His most recent partner, India Royale, tweeted in 2021 that he was obsessed with her when she was expecting their daughter Willow. She further said she wanted to have her next two kids "back to back" before she stopped having kids.

According to Willow's mother, Royale, Lil Durk expressed interest in having another child when she was pregnant with their daughter. The 29-year-old rapper said he wanted to have a son with Royale after the two had a daughter.

Lil Durk took their relationship to the next level in late 2021 when he asked his girlfriend of four years to be his wife. His fans were delighted, with some of them thinking he would now grow his already big family with Royale.

He shared a video of their proposal, which has gone viral, showing him asking his girlfriend to marry him, who instantly said yes.

Lil Durk and the mother of his sixth child, Royale, reportedly married in 2018; however, these rumors have never been confirmed.
