Kevin Gates’ estranged wife has filed for child and spousal support, claiming that he has stopped making payments for their children’s needs, such as private school tuition and property taxes for their Mississippi farm. The home they shared is now facing foreclosure due to unpaid taxes, adding to the financial strain. She is requesting a substantial amount in support to cover expenses for their two children and herself.
The couple, who were together for nine years before their split, share two children. Dreka Gates is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their kids, stressing her role as the primary caregiver for the majority of the time. Despite Kevin Gates’ claim that they were never legally married, Dreka maintains that they tied the knot in 2015 after a long relationship.
Their relationship began in 2003 when they met and bonded over their shared ambition and drive. Dreka’s entrepreneurial spirit led her to co-found a record label with Kevin, establishing herself as a businesswoman. She ventured into the cannabis and skincare industries, expanding her portfolio beyond music.
As the legal battle unfolds, Dreka Gates is standing her ground, fighting for the financial support she believes is necessary for the well-being of their family.
