Social media has been abuzz with rumors of a secret marriage between controversial rapper Kevin Gates and fitness model turned internet personality Brittany Renner. These whispers have ignited widespread speculation, fueled by Gates’ ambiguous marital status with his long-term wife, Dreka Gates, and his past comments about polygamy within the context of his Muslim faith.
While some fans insist that Renner is “flexing a wedding ring,” the truth seems far more intricate, weaving together multiple relationships, religious beliefs, and public skepticism.

The rumors of a secret marriage between Kevin Gates and Brittany Renner gained traction after a series of intriguing clues surfaced online. Entertainment sources claim the pair participated in a private, spiritual wedding ceremony in Louisiana in late March 2025.
According to reports, the event featured unconventional rituals such as burning sage and a “blood-binding ceremony,” adding a layer of mystique to the alleged union. Shortly afterward, on April 3, 2025, Gates posted a video on social media showing himself holding hands with Renner inside a car, captioning it,
“I hope this makes somebody smile today bae you know I’m goofy #Amilio #Alhamdulillah #LoveThisForMe.”
Further evidence emerged from their shared presence at a wellness retreat in Sedona, Arizona, known for its spiritual energy vortexes. On March 15, 2025, both posted separate photos of themselves engaging in grounding exercises against the same desert backdrop, prompting fans to connect the dots.
Days later, on March 20, Renner shared a video in which a tattooed hand—recognized by fans as Gates’ due to his distinctive onyx ring with spiritual inscriptions—briefly appeared, hinting at his presence beside her.
The speculation intensified when Gates was spotted wearing what appeared to be a wedding band during a live performance in Atlanta shortly after the alleged ceremony. Similarly, Renner was seen adjusting a new ring during a podcast interview, a subtle gesture that did not go unnoticed by eagle-eyed followers. Adding fuel to the fire, Gates tweeted on March 25, 2025, “a bond built in truth will never break,” a cryptic message many interpreted as a nod to a more profound commitment.
Despite the mounting clues, not everyone is convinced of the romance’s authenticity. Critics argue that the rumored relationship could be a calculated publicity stunt to bolster the relevance of both Gates and Renner in a competitive entertainment landscape. “This whole Kevin Gates and Brittany Renner thing feels like a PR move. They’re both trying to stay relevant,” one Twitter user remarked.
Another chimed in, “I don’t buy it. Kevin’s always been about Dreka. This seems off.” The timing aligns suspiciously with Gates’ expansion of his business ventures and spiritual focus and Renner’s efforts to rebrand herself as a fitness and mental health advocate following a controversial past.
To grasp the situation entirely, one must consider Gates’ longstanding relationship with Dreka Gates. The couple has been together since 2003 and officially married in 2015. They raise two children, Islah and Khaza, while building a business empire with a record label.
Dreka has been a visible supporter of Gates’ career, appearing in his music videos and collaborating professionally. However, their marital status remains uncertain, as neither has publicly addressed it amid recent rumors.
Complicating matters further, a woman named Persia P has emerged, claiming to be Gates’ girlfriend. In a video posted to Instagram, she declared,
“I want to make one thing very clear, I would never f**k with a married man. This man told me he’s legally separated, so that’s that.”
Persia expressed frustration, accusing Gates of manipulation and leading her on, adding another layer of complexity to his romantic entanglements.
Kevin Gates has long framed his views on relationships through his Muslim faith, particularly regarding polygamy. In September 2020, he responded to a comment asserting that “real men don’t cheat” by saying,
“No Muslim men don’t cheat because we are allowed to have more than one wife, although one is preferred.”
This perspective sheds light on his current circumstances. Islamic teachings permit a man to have up to four wives, provided he can treat them all equally—emotionally and financially—a condition many scholars note is challenging to meet, thus discouraging the practice unless necessary.
Gates’ use of religious hashtags like “#Alhamdulillah” (Praise be to God) in posts about Renner suggests he may situate their relationship within this spiritual framework. However, whether this translates into a formal polygamous arrangement remains unclear.
Firstly, there’s no public indication that Dreka consents to or is even aware of a polygamous setup. In traditional Islamic polygamy, the first wife’s knowledge and approval are typically prerequisites—yet Dreka’s silence leaves this question unanswered.
Secondly, Persia P’s assertion that Gates claimed to be “legally separated” from Dreka implies he may not be presenting his relationships as polygamous to all involved parties. If he were openly embracing polygamy, such a claim might be unnecessary.
Lastly, U.S. law poses a significant hurdle. Polygamous marriages are not legally recognized, meaning any union with Renner would lack legal standing if Gates remains married to Dreka. While spiritual ceremonies could occur outside the legal system, this limitation underscores the complexity of reconciling religious beliefs with secular constraints.
The saga of Kevin Gates, Brittany Renner, and Dreka Gates is a tangled narrative at the crossroads of celebrity, spirituality, and modern romance. Social media has latched onto tantalizing hints—like Renner’s ring and Gates’ cryptic posts—yet definitive proof of marriage remains elusive.
Gates’ openness about polygamy in Islam offers a potential lens through which to view his multiple relationships. Still, the absence of explicit statements from Dreka, Renner, or Gates himself leaves much to speculation.
