Grief doesn’t come with an instruction manual, but Lauren London sure has taught the world a thing or two about moving through life’s most challenging moments with grace. The black-haired beauty said an untimely goodbye to her partner, Nipsey Hussle, in 2019, and has spent the years since reminding everyone of his impact and legacy. The You People starlet’s good looks and kind heart have seen many men pining after her following her other half’s passing, raising curiosity about who is Lauren London dating. For the most part, the 39-year-old has been laser-focused on motherhood and making money moves, but is she looking for another love story in this lifetime?
‘ATL’ Actress Shares Her Firstborn With Lil Wayne
Before Hussle and Boog became a power couple, London was on-again-off-again with another MC – Lil Wayne – from 1998 to 2009. Their son, Kameron, was born in the latter year, marking the model’s first child and Weezy’s third. Despite speculation, London has made it clear her child wasn’t a result of a “one night stand” or “groupie encounter.” She told Kathleen Cross in a 2011 interview, “I met Dwayne when I was 15 years old. We tried more than once to revive it, and we were engaged briefly years ago, but we eventually parted ways.”
Though they couldn’t make it work, Lauren London still praised her ex as “an intelligent, loving and lovable person” who she considers a “dear friend.” The West Coast icon has also found community among Wayne’s other co-parents. “We are all good-hearted women who love our children and we want them to know each other. Real friendships have grown from that foundation and the result has been more love, less drama, and less trauma for our kids,” she explained.
What Has Lauren London Said About Finding Love After Nipsey Hussle?
The other major love in London’s life was Nip, who she met in 2013 through a mutual friend. “We’re both from L.A… I had a couple of homegirls that had hung out with him and would come back to me like, ‘Oh my God! You would really like Nip! He seems like your type!” she recalled to GQ in December 2019. “We met because I wanted to pick up a box of clothes he offered me after I bought a couple of [copies of] Crenshaw,” she added of his 2013 mixtape.”
Clearly, they hit it off, as their son, Kross Asghedom, arrived in August 2016. Hussle was also a father to his daughter, Emani, from a past relationship with Tanisha Foster. Since he was murdered, London has continuously remembered her other half on social media. “I am completely lost. I’ve lost my best friend. My sanctuary. My protector. My soul. I’m lost without you. We are lost without you babe. I have no words,” she penned on Instagram after his passing.
In the months after the tragedy, rumors about a romance between Lauren London and Diddy began to fly. The embattled Bad Boy mogul posted a photo with his “sister” in 2020, causing sleuths to speculate. London quickly shut any gossip down, writing “Forever and even after call me Lady Hussle. Still His! King Ermias! Never Forget!” in a passionate post. The mother of two later added, “Stop f**king playing with me and my name. Now let me get back to healing. I’m all love and peace but never forget… I’m a woman in grief and I don’t play about Nip, my family, my character and code.” As of 2024, it seems the ATL actress is keeping the same energy and holding onto her single status.
