Kevin Gates' wife, Dreka, has filed for divorce just a few months shy of their 10th wedding anniversary.
According to a report TMZ published on Wednesday, July 30, Dreka Gates has begun the process of divorcing the Khaza rapper after nine years of marriage. In legal documents, Dreka confirmed the couple split on July 10 and claimed "irreconcilable differences" caused their rift. In addition, Dreka also requested joint legal and physical custody of their two children, 11-year-old Khaza and 12-year-old Islah. She also wants spousal support, but doesn't want the judge to grant Kevin spousal support.

Dreka, who also used to manage Kevin's career, got married to the Louisiana rapper in October 2015. The couple has been through its ups and downs over the years, but their relationship recently took a hit after Kevin became romantically involved with influencer Brittany Renner. In an interview with Real 92.3's Bootleg Kev, Renner confirmed the couple got married and divorced within a span of 52 days.
"We got married April 6 and divorced May 28," Renner said. "I don't feel like it's a sucky situation because what is meant to be is always going to be."
Prior to Gates' peculiar relationship with Renner, Dreka was also accused of cheating on her husband with a female personal trainer. Back in May, someone on social media straight asked Dreka why she allegedly cheated. Dreka didn't waste any time in addressing the rumor.
"I HAVE to address this because it’s really gone a little too far and I don’t care for social media to continue to spread this misinformation," she fired back. "I have NEVER had any type of sexual or romantic encounters with my personal trainer or any ‘hired help’ and will NEVER. And just to make it CLEAR, sorry ladies but I am strictly [eggplant emoji] and I do not do plastic. I need the real thang! Please and thank you."
TMZ also notes that Kevin Gates has declined to comment on his divorce from Dreka.
