Following the finalization of her divorce in 2018 from Kendu Isaacs, who was her husband for 15 years, many of Mary J. Blige’s fans presumed she had been single all these years, but that has proven to be untrue.
The queen of hip-hop soul has, in a recent interview, revealed that she is no longer single.
Opening up to Bigg Tigger for Audacy Check-In, she announced that “No I’m not single. I’m happily doing what I’m doing.”
Reports show that the question about the 53-year-old’s love life stemmed from a conversation about her new single Still Believe In Love.
It is further believed that Blige wrote the song when she was freshly divorced. She explained that “I needed something different, something positive other than what was going on in my life. I had to believe in myself.”
