“I’ve been married for two years,” Ari posted.
Moneybagg didn’t deny being married to Ari, so it’s safe to say his longtime boo is telling the truth about their union. The good news came two years after Ari revealed to her fans on her cooking show, Dinner With the Don, that she had suffered a miscarriage when she and Moneybagg first got together. Now that the pair is reportedly married, Ari, who has a son, Yosohn, with rapper G Herbo, shared she’s thinking about expanding their family again.

“I been kind of feeling like I want a baby, but I just don’t wanna be pregnant for that long and get that big,” Ari wrote on X in October 2023.
