Tech N9ne And Kristen Lehman Relationship
Tech N9ne started dating his current girlfriend Kristen around 2014. They have been together for over 8 years.
The rapper and Kristen had a relationship a year before he divorced his first wife. In fact, dating Kristen was the impetus that caused him to seek a full annulment of his first marriage.
Their relationship was kept silent for the first five or so years of their being together. The main reason behind this is that the rapper has always kept his personal and professional lives separate due to the persona he portrays in his music which is that of a deranged individual.
However, once Kristen started posting on her personal Instagram on May 20, 2022, fans gained a new insight into the famous rapper’s love life. She first posted a picture of the two of them together on July 19, 2022, and from then onwards regularly posts pictures of the two together.
They also bought a house together in 2021 in the rapper’s native city of Kansas City, Missouri. Though it took a full year to furnish, both partners have their names on the deed of the house and are very happy with it.
On January 3 of 2023, Tech and Kristen decided to take their relationship to the next level after the rapper proposed to his girlfriend in the third trimester of her pregnancy.
The ring the rapper gave her has also become quite famous as Tech, who is known for his zaniness, gave his future wife not one but three rings melded into one to symbolize how he is a king, a clown, and a gangsta.
Kristen Is The Mother of His Daughter Alina Yates
Tech N9ne and Kristen are set to have a baby named Alina Yates. They revealed Kristen’s pregnancy on August 6, 2022.
The baby is set to be born on March 2023. Kristen has been very open about her journey through pregnancy and spent much of 2022 using her Instagram as a way to showcase the many steps she’s taken through the whole process.
The couple is clearly excited about the birth of their new child and spent much of 2022 patiently but excitedly waiting for the due date. As stated above, Kristen stopped her fitness activities due to the baby right around the second trimester.
She hit the second trimester around November 2022 and did a full pregnancy photoshoot with her and her rapper partner in the woods near Kansas City. The two were more than excited to share the pictures which saw Kristen wearing a plush orange gown and Tech in a black T-Shirt and Jeans combo wearing gold chains.
They threw the gender reveal party for the baby earlier in the year on August 2022. Their gender reveal party was done as an event to which many friends and family were invited.
The actual gender reveal was done via a balloon but not before the guests could guess the gender of the baby. Once they popped the balloon, pink confetti fell onto the crowd signifying that their unborn child is a girl.
As of the writing of this article, Kristen has been pregnant for over 37 weeks and will see her child in a month now. Though already well beyond the third trimester she still exercises for her and the baby’s health.
The Rapper Was Previously Married To Lecoya LeJeune
Tech N9ne was in a relationship with Lecoya LeJeune before he met Kristen. He got married to Lecoya in 1995.
The rapper’s relationship with his previous lover is a complicated one. The relationship’s timeline is especially complicated due to the fact that they were apart as long as they were together.
As stated above, Tech and Lecoya were married in 1995. However, the two would go on to separate in 2005, ten years into their marriage.
Though separated, Tech wouldn’t officially file for divorce for another ten years in 2015. Though he filed for divorce, the procedure would officially be finalized until November 2017.
Part of the reason why they finally got divorced despite already having separated more than a decade ago is that Tech started dating his current girlfriend and now fiance Kristen in 2014
Though Tech and Kristen were married for over 22 years, the two were only together for 10 years, less than half the amount of their marriage. According to an article by TMZ, the rapper walks away with 49% of his record label, Strange Music, and his management company.
On the other hand, Lecoya walks away with various bank accounts while also getting a one-time payment of $150K from the rapper. The rapper will also have to give her monthly support of $5,555.55 for six years.
