In a surprising turn of events, Dreka Gates, wife of rapper Kevin Gates, has filed for divorce after nearly a decade of marriage. The couple, who tied the knot in October 2015, have officially ended their relationship with Dreka citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the breakup.
Their separation comes as a shock to many, as Dreka was seen as a stabilising force in both Kevin’s personal and professional life. The couple shares two children, 12-year-old Islah and 11-year-old Khaza, with Dreka seeking joint legal and physical custody of both.
Aside from custody arrangements, Dreka is also seeking spousal support and has asked the court to deny Kevin any support in return. It remains unclear if the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place.
Kevin Gates’ representative stated that the rapper is choosing not to comment on the matter at this time, adding to the growing list of celebrity breakups in 2025. The news of their divorce comes just months before what would have been their 10th wedding anniversary.
As Dreka looks towards the future, it’s clear that she is focused on moving forward and creating a new chapter in her life.
