Arnold was born in College Park, Georgia, the only daughter of Marilyn Best, her mother who is a Delta Air Lines customer service representative and former church singer, and M.C. “Billy” Arnold Jr, her father who was a mechanic for an Atlanta freight company.

Arnold’s mother is of African American descent and her father is African American with Indian and Irish ancestry. She has a younger brother, Montez (born in 1983), and a half-brother, Jermond Grant, on her father’s side. Monica is also a cousin of record producer Polow da Don and is related to rapper Ludacris through her mother’s second marriage to Reverend Edward Best, a Methodist minister.

Monica Dating, Husband

Monica’s career slowed down in 1999 due to having problems in her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Jarvis Weems. In July 2000, the couple was together at the gravesite of Weems’s brother, who had died in an automobile accident at age 25 in 1998.

Weems then, without warning, put a gun to his head and committed suicide. “Afterward, I felt, ‘What else could I have done?’ You replay that situation over and over and you switch it around: Maybe if I had said this, or if I would have done that,’” Monica said in an interview with The Cincinnati Enquirer the following year. “It’s just something that it’s never possible for me to go back and change.” Monica briefly dated rapper, C-Murder, until he was incarcerated for murder in 2003.

Monica met rapper Rodney “Rocko” Hill, a former SWA officer and real estate manager, shortly after Weems’s suicide, a time which she described as her “weakest”. While the pair soon began dating in the fall of the same year, they ended their relationship in 2004.

A few months later, Monica and Hill reunited and she became pregnant with their first child. On May 21, 2005, she gave birth to their son, Rodney, who performs under “Rodneyy” as a SoundCloud rapper. Monica and Hill then became engaged on Christmas Eve 2007, shortly before the birth of their second child. On January 8, 2008, their son named Romelo Montez Hill, after Monica’s younger brother, was born. The couple split in early 2010.

In June 2010, Monica met NBA player Shannon Brown while she was looking for someone to play the love interest in her video for the song “Love All Over Me”. In October 2010, she announced her engagement to Brown via her Twitter account, posting a photo of a rose-cut diamond ring.

On November 22, 2010, the couple married in a secret ceremony at their Los Angeles home. Their wedding, however, did not become a matter of public record until January 21, 2011, when Brown told the Hip-Hop Non-Stop TV Show.

A second wedding ceremony was held for family and friends to attend in July 2011. On September 3, 2013, Monica gave birth to her third child, Laiyah Shannon. After eight years of marriage, Monica filed for divorce from Brown in March 2019. In October 2019, their divorce was finalized.

Monica Career

Arnold possesses an alto vocal range, which Billboard’s Erika Ramirez described as “impeccable”. Elysa Gardner of the Los Angeles Times likened her “husky, dramatic alto” to that of singer Toni Braxton. Writing that the singer arguably possesses “the best alto of her generation”, PopMatters contributor Tyler Lewis said she has “always been able to elevate even the most generic material … with conviction and the sheer beauty of her voice”, despite believing she uses “a little too much vibrato at times”.

Arnold has said many times that Whitney Houston is her biggest inspiration and influence since childhood. Another big influence is Mary J. Blige. Other artists, she looks up to are Betty Wright, Gladys Knight, and Anita Baker.
