‘Woah’: Users Are Stunned By How Snoop Dogg’s Wife Looks – Photos Of The Brown-eyed Beauty

Snoop Dogg, known worldwide for his smooth rhymes and iconic persona, is more than just a rapper. He’s also a dedicated father and proud grandfather. At the center of his life is who he called his “backbone” — the woman who has supported him through every twist and turn of his career.

Recently, fans couldn’t help but admire the striking beauty of Snoop’s wife. Meet the beautiful woman social media users say the rapper is lucky to have by his side and take a look at the couple’s incredible journey over the years.

An Enduring Love Story

Snoop, born Calvin Broadus, is one of the most influential figures in hip-hop. From his early days as a rapper under the mentorship of Dr. Dre to becoming a household name with hits like “Gin and Juice,” Snoop has made an indelible mark in the music industry.

Beyond his music, the Long Beach native has dabbled in everything from acting to cooking shows with Martha Stewart. But amid his ever-growing fame, one constant in his life has been the unwavering support of his wife, Shante Broadus.

Snoop’s relationship with Shante started long before he became a superstar. The two met while attending Long Beach Polytechnic High School in the 1980s. They were just teenagers, but their connection was undeniable.

As the rapper’s music career began to take off, Shante guided and supported him. “I was there with him when he started all this,” she shared. Shante and their friends were his first fans, listening to his music and offering feedback.

As his fame increased, she would help the rapper with deals and offers. Their bond deepened over the years, and in 1997, Snoop and Shante tied the knot. For the iconic rapper, his wife was much more than a spouse — she was his anchor.

While listing the reasons he considered Shante his “best friend,” the rapper shared, “One is that she always understood who I was and who I needed to become. And then, on the second reason is, her just being my backbone, my foundation, my support, my reality […].”

Snoop credited Shante for teaching him to be a better father, husband, and grandfather. However, their journey wasn’t without challenges. The couple briefly separated in 2004, with the rap legend filing for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.

The couple shares three children — sons Corde and Cordell and daughter Cori — and the rapper sought joint custody. “The only thing I want to say is Mr. Broadus hopes that the divorce can be as amicable as possible,” Snoop’s attorney, Robert Nachshin, said.

It was a difficult time for the couple, but their love was far from over. Shortly after their separation, their daughter Cori was diagnosed with lupus, a devastating autoimmune disease.

The diagnosis brought the family back together, as Snoop and Shante rallied around their daughter during her health crisis. The experience was life-changing for both parents. “Shante and I cried 1,000 times,” he recalled.

Cori’s diagnosis became a turning point for the couple. Faced with their daughter’s struggle, they chose not to go through with the divorce, opting instead to work on their relationship. In 2008, four years after their near-breakup, the couple renewed their vows.

Reflecting on the ups and downs of their relationship, Snoop admitted, “In relationships like this, it’s a rocky road in the beginning because success is new to both.”

He confessed that he sometimes had tried to shield Shante from certain aspects of his career but ultimately realized that she needed to be involved in every part of his life.

“You learn as time goes by, ‘OK, you are in control. You run this, you run that, because I make bad decisions,'” Snoop said, highlighting the crucial role Shante played in helping him navigate his career and personal life.

He frequently praises Shante for her strength and unwavering support, emphasizing that she has been the key to their long-lasting marriage. “She’s a great mother, a tremendous grandmother, an excellent wife, and a great friend,” he said.

He also shared his perspective on marriage, noting that their commitment was “’til death do us part” — not something to be easily broken by arguments or financial struggles.

“I’ve got a strong wife with a strong backbone and a good heart—she’s loving and she’s caring, and we are meant to be together,” added the “Young, Wild & Free” artist. The couple’s enduring bond is reflected in the family they’ve built together.

Along with being a proud parent to his sons, Corde and Cordell, and his daughter, Cori, Snoop also has another child from outside his marriage to his wife, Shante, making him a father of four.

The eldest of Snoop and Shante’s children, Corde Broadus, was born in August 1994. Following in his father’s footsteps, Corde has pursued a music career under the stage name Kalvin Love. Known for his laid-back style and creative expression, Corde has earned recognition as a budding artist in the music scene.

Cordell Broadus, Snoop and Shante’s second son, was born on February 21, 1997. He began his journey as a talented football player, showcasing his skills during high school and eventually earning a spot on UCLA’s football team in 2015. However, he eventually stepped away from football to focus on other creative pursuits, including music and film production.

“Cordell informed me yesterday that he has decided to pursue other passions in his life — in particular his love of film through his company Film School Productions,” UCLA Coach Jim Mora said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times.

Over time, Cordell gravitated toward the music industry, following in his father’s footsteps while carving his own unique path. He believed the decision came as a shock to many, given his football background.

Speaking about his creative journey, Cordell shared, “To be honest with you, I’m real critical with my creativity…Through my music, I just want to represent myself and I want to represent individualism.” He and his partner, JJ, embraced the opportunity to release their music during the global challenges of the pandemic, believing it was the right moment to showcase their artistic work.

Cori Broadus, born on June 22, 1999, is Snoop and Shante’s youngest child and only daughter. In January 2024, Cori suffered a stroke, an experience she later recounted in the trailer for the E! special “Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne’s Story,” which aired in November 2024.

Reflecting on the terrifying incident, Cori revealed, “My health was declining… Doctor comes in, ‘Cori, you had a stroke.’ I’m hurting, I’m scared. Why is this happening to me?” The health scare came at a particularly demanding time in her life, as she and her fiancé, Wayne Duece, were planning their dream wedding with a massive 750-person guest list — all within just four months.

Balancing her health and wedding preparations wasn’t easy, but Cori’s determination reflected her optimistic spirit. “I’m a princess, so the princess gotta do it big,” she noted, showcasing her confidence and unique charm.

Julian Corrie Broadus, born on June 18, 1998, is Snoop’s son from a relationship with Laurie Helmond. His birth came shortly after Snoop married Shante. Carving out his own identity, Julian has embraced a career in creative media. He serves as the creative director of the gaming app WAM and is also a talented video creator.

Over the years, Snoop and Shante’s family has grown, and they now embrace the joy of being grandparents. The rapper has often spoken about the importance of family, stating, “Family is everything. What makes me the happiest in my life right now is for my wife to be happy, and everybody in my family to be healthy, and to be on one accord, which is love.”

Meet Shante Broadus

Shante is more than just Snoop’s wife — she is a formidable businesswoman and a dedicated philanthropist. In 2005, after their daughter was diagnosed with lupus, Shante and her rapper husband found a unique way to support her through a difficult time.

Lupus often causes hair loss, and as Cori’s hair began to fall out, she started wrapping her head in scarves to feel more comfortable. Shante and her husband began wearing scarves alongside their daughter, turning what could have been a painful experience into a family tradition.

“I would put a scarf on her, and so she wouldn’t feel like she was the only one wearing scarves, we all wore scarves with her to make her feel less alone,” Shante explained.

Inspired by Cori’s resilience, the couple launched the Broadus Collection, a line of vibrant scarves designed to empower the lupus community and encourage self-expression.

The collection features bright colors and bold patterns, reflecting Cori’s positive attitude throughout her health struggles. The business offered a way to support others and served as a tribute to their daughter’s strength and courage.

In addition to her work in the fashion industry, Shante has made a name for herself as a producer, often collaborating with Snoop on various projects.

Aside from her professional accomplishments, Shante’s beauty and youthful appearance have not gone unnoticed. In August, her famous husband shared a clip of the adorable couple, in which she wowed in a white ensemble.

“Boss lady hot 🥵 for her age Unc way too lucky 🔥 [sic],” one social media user commented. Another wrote, “Shante has the prettiest smile 😍.” A third person typed, “Boss lady is hot 🔥.”

A month later, Shante was the picture of chic in an Instagram post, where she posed in a camo-print outfit. “Woah you look super young,” one person shared. Another added, “🔥🔥🙌Pretty.”

Shante and Snoop Dogg have remained united through all the ups and downs. Their journey has been anything but easy, but their love has only grown stronger, a testament to their enduring partnership.
