Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg has been married to his high school sweetheart, Shante Broadus, for almost 30 years. Recently, fans on social media admired her beauty and complimented her “prettiest smile” in some stunning Instagram posts.

Snoop Dogg, famous for his smooth rhymes and iconic personality, is much more than just a rapper. He’s also a dedicated father, proud grandfather, and husband. He calls Shante his “backbone,” as she has supported him through all the twists and turns of his career.

Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, is one of the most influential figures in hip-hop. From his early days under Dr. Dre’s mentorship to hits like “Gin and Juice,” he became a household name. Beyond music, Snoop has done acting, cooking shows with Martha Stewart, and much more. But throughout his growing fame, Shante has always been by his side.

The couple’s relationship started long before Snoop became a superstar. They met at Long Beach Polytechnic High School in the 1980s. As teenagers, their bond was undeniable. When Snoop’s music career began, Shante was there to guide and support him, even helping with early deals.

In 1997, Snoop and Shante got married, and their love grew stronger. Snoop often calls Shante his best friend and credits her for being his foundation and support system. He said, “She’s my reality… my backbone.”

However, their marriage wasn’t without challenges. In 2004, Snoop filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple shares three children: Corde, Cordell, and Cori. Despite the brief separation, their love endured.

Their daughter Cori’s lupus diagnosis brought the couple back together. The autoimmune disease was devastating for the family, but it became a turning point. Snoop and Shante rallied around Cori during her health struggles. Snoop said, “Shante and I cried 1,000 times.”

The experience inspired the couple to cancel their divorce and work on their relationship. In 2008, four years after their near-breakup, they renewed their vows. Reflecting on their relationship, Snoop said, “Success is new to both of us, and it’s a rocky road in the beginning.”

Snoop admitted that Shante plays a vital role in his life and career, helping him navigate challenges. He often praises her for her strength, calling her a great mother, grandmother, wife, and friend.

Shante is more than Snoop’s wife. She’s a successful businesswoman and philanthropist. In 2005, after Cori’s lupus diagnosis, Shante and Snoop found a unique way to support their daughter. Lupus often causes hair loss, and when Cori’s hair began to fall out, she started wearing scarves.

To make her feel supported, Shante and the family began wearing scarves too. This gesture turned into a family tradition and inspired the couple to launch the Broadus Collection, a line of vibrant scarves. The collection reflects Cori’s resilience and helps empower the lupus community.

In addition to her fashion work, Shante has collaborated with Snoop on various projects and has made a name for herself as a producer.

Shante’s youthful looks and beauty often catch fans’ attention. In August, Snoop shared a video of the couple where Shante wowed in a white outfit. Fans called her “hot for her age” and complimented her smile. In another post, Shante posed in a camo-print outfit, and fans were amazed by her chic style.

Through all the ups and downs, Snoop and Shante have remained a strong team. Their nearly 30-year journey hasn’t been easy, but their love has grown stronger, proving that their partnership is built to last.
