Two Decades of Love Between Hip Hop Power Couple
The relationship between Lampkin and Jones has stood the test of time in an industry known for short-lived romances. Their love story began back in 2004, making this year their 20th anniversary together.
During a January appearance on the 90s Baby Show podcast, Jones shared the heartwarming story of how they first met. The Dipset artist revealed their initial encounter happened at Mart 125, a historic marketplace near Harlem’s Apollo Theater. They later reconnected at a Miami beach club where Lampkin made the first move.
Love and Hip Hop Fame Brought Relationship to Television
The couple rose to fame when they joined the cast of Love and Hip Hop: New York during its first season. Their relationship dynamics quickly became a central storyline for the reality show.
Fans might remember the viral moment when Lampkin proposed to Jones during season one. The non-traditional proposal had viewers talking, but when Jones didn’t take immediate steps toward marriage, the couple briefly separated in season two. This public relationship journey helped establish them as reality TV favorites.
Marriage Takes Backseat to Strong Relationship Bond
Despite their early engagement drama, Lampkin later revealed that marriage was no longer a priority for the couple. In a 2020 special segment with VH1, she addressed the status of their relationship.
“To be honest with you, it’s not a priority anymore,” she explained. “Our relationship is in a good place. I thought that that was, like, the natural progression [to get engaged], but it’s not for everybody. So, we’re good right now.” This mature perspective highlights how the couple values their connection over conventional relationship milestones.
Rapper Recalls Being Starstruck By Future Partner
Jones has been open about how captivated he was when first meeting Lampkin. During his podcast appearance, the rapper admitted losing his cool during their early interactions.
“She ran down on [me] and said some funny sh*t,” he shared. “I was like, wow, this is crazy. In my mind, I was like, ‘Wow, I’m nervous.’ Like I’m trying to find my cool. At that moment, I felt like all my cool was out the window, and I feel like I’m the coolest individual in the world.” This candid admission shows the genuine impact Lampkin had on him from the beginning.
Ageless Beauty Continues to Inspire Fans
At 54, Lampkin continues to defy aging expectations with her youthful appearance and vibrant energy. Her birthday celebration photos show a woman who looks decades younger than her actual age.
The couple doesn’t currently have children together but appears completely content with the life they’ve built. Their enduring relationship stands as a testament to finding happiness on your own terms. Lampkin’s birthday celebration further confirms that this power couple continues to thrive in both love and life.
