However, in September 2022, it was rumored that the two broke up after she posted a cryptic tweet saying, “I'm a free agent”. She even claimed to be single shortly after Durk mentioned he wanted to have another son. Nevertheless, he asserted that she always stood by him even when he was broke. They have again got back together as of September 2023.
