At 52, Snoop Dogg Finally Addresses Rumors About His Marriage to Shante Broadus Amid Infidelity Allegations

Snoop Dogg and his wife, Shante Broadus, have long been considered one of hip-hop’s most enduring couples, recently celebrating their 27th wedding anniversary.

Their relationship, which began in high school at Long Beach Polytechnic, has withstood the test of time and the pressures of fame. However, beneath the surface, their marriage has faced persistent rumors and public scrutiny—especially concerning allegations of infidelity.

A recent social media post intended to celebrate the couple’s decades-long bond quickly took a negative turn. Fans were quick to remind the public that longevity in marriage does not always equate to happiness or a lack of challenges.

Photos of Snoop and Shante from their prom, wedding day, and a more recent snapshot in 2018 were shared online, prompting one user to comment, “Long marriage does not mean healthy or happy marriage.”

Snoop and Shante, who married in June 1997, have certainly faced their share of ups and downs. In 2004, Snoop filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, but the couple later reconciled and renewed their vows in 2008.

Together, they have three children: sons Corde (29) and Cordell (27), and daughter Cori (25). However, in 1998, a year before Cori was born, Snoop fathered another son, Julian Corrie Broadus, with a woman named Laurie Helmond.

Both Snoop and Shante have been the subject of cheating allegations over the years. Earlier this year, a fan page associated with Suge Knight, Snoop’s former label boss, posted a photo of Shante with another man, sparking rumors about her fidelity.

The post, which referenced Shante supposedly vacationing in Hawaii with another man, reignited speculation about the couple’s relationship. Despite these rumors, some fans continue to root for the pair, acknowledging that while their marriage has had its difficulties, they have managed to weather the storms together.

Snoop has openly admitted to putting his wife through a lot over the years, including industry drama, the infamous East Coast-West Coast rap feud, and even a high-profile murder case in the early ‘90s.

Through it all, Shante has stood by his side, eventually taking on the role of his manager. When asked about the secret to their lasting marriage, Snoop credited mutual sacrifice and a shared commitment to family.

“When you truly love somebody, there ain’t nothing you can do to break that up,” he said in a 2023 interview.

The couple now shares a bustling household filled with 12 grandchildren and a variety of business ventures, including Shante’s Los Angeles strip club, The Players Club, inspired by the 1998 film starring LisaRaye McCoy.

Despite their united front, cheating allegations continue to surface. Last month, Shante posted a cryptic message on Instagram: “They never cheat with prettier, they cheat with easier.”

This fueled speculation, particularly given Snoop’s past. In 2018, influencer Celina Powell released text messages, photos, and videos allegedly proving an affair with Snoop, which became the basis for his TV show “Clout Chasers.”

Through all the drama, Snoop and Shante continue to move forward, proving that even the longest marriages can face—and survive—public scrutiny and personal challenges.
