Maximillion Cooper, a former race car driver, fashion designer, and entrepreneur is married to rapper, singer, and actress, Eve.
Cooper once said he was “mesmerized” when he first saw the Grammy-winning rapper and actress in 2010 at the Gumball 3000 motor rally launch party.
Before getting married in a lavish beachside ceremony in Ibiza, Spain, in 2014, Eve dated the former race car driver for nearly four years. Eve became the stepmother of Cooper’s four children, and in 2022, the couple welcomed their first child.
Here is everything you need to know about Eve and Maximillion Cooper’s relationship, from their first meeting at the Gumball 3000 launch party to their journey of raising a new baby boy together.
According to Maximillion Cooper, when he appeared on The Talk in November 2020, he said:

“We met on the red carpet at the big party I was hosting in London for the Gumball,” he continued. “I’d heard her music before, but that night she was performing, and I remember introducing her and just watching her, being mesmerized, and I’ve pretty much been mesmerized ever since.”
After the Gumball 3000 motor rally, Cooper stayed in London while Eve flew back to Los Angeles, but he couldn’t stop thinking that he couldn’t let her go. He therefore got on a plane to Los Angeles that weekend. As Cooper put it, “it was destined.”
As of November 2010, Eve and Cooper had officially stepped onto the red carpet not even six months since they first met in the same city when the two went out for the UK film premiere of Jackass 3D at BFI IMAX.
Eve and Cooper attended the 10th annual Stand Up for Skateparks, which benefited the Tony Hawk Foundation, in October 2013 at Green Acres Estate in Beverly Hills, California. The couple was photographed at the event with their arms around each other’s waists and a chic look thanks to their black sunglasses.
Eve and Maximillion Cooper got engaged on December 25, 2013, and they were married in Ibiza on June 13, 2014, barely a year later.
“I’m so happy to make Eve my wife,” Cooper told E! News. “The whole experience has been amazing, and we are both so happy to have tied the knot.”
The couple reportedly met at the 2010 Gumball 3000 rally, and they picked Ibiza as their wedding destination because it was the location of the 2014 Gumball 3000 car race finish line. While her husband was competing in the rally, Eve took an early flight to Spain to finalize her wedding arrangements.
On October 15, 2021, Eve shared a picture of her cradling her growing baby bump on Instagram to announce her pregnancy. Wilde Wolf Fife Alexander Somers Cooper, a baby boy, was the couple’s first child to be born. Soon after the baby was born, a picture of him sleeping in a Moses basket and wrapped in a blue blanket was shared by Eve on Instagram.
