Kendrick Lamar has kept his private life, well…private. We’ve all heard his Grammy’s speech and watched his Super Bowl performance, but what about his loved ones? We’re unveiling his relationship status and looking into his fatherhood below!
Is Kendrick Lamar Married?
Kendrick is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Whitney Alford, whom he started dating in Centennial High School in Compton, California. The couple have been engaged since 2015. Kendrick’s love for Whitney goes deep, and he once shared with Billboard: “I wouldn’t even call her my girl. That’s my best friend. I don’t even like the term that society has put in the world as far as being a companion — she’s somebody I can tell my fears to.”
After becoming a family of four, Whitney took to social media to wish Kendrick a Happy Father’s Day. She dotingly wrote: “Today, I am more than happy to celebrate the men in my life. I choose to celebrate them for stepping up instead of stepping out, for providing, for assisting us women, for healing, for showing up physically, and most importantly for showing up emotionally,” as reported by Us Weekly. Whitney also made a cameo in Kendrick’s “Count Me Out” and “Not Like Us” music videos.
Does Kendrick Lamar Have Kids?
Kendrick shares two kids with Whitney. They have a daughter named Uzi, 6, and a son named Enoch, 3. Both children have Hebrew names. Uzi means “power and strength,” and Enoch means “dedicated, trained and disciplined,” as reported by She Knows. Fans even took to Reddit to reveal that Kendrick has a tattoo of Uzi’s name on his upper right arm. Although Kendrick is very private and protective of his children, they made their first major public appearance on Kendrick’s album cover for Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. The two little ones also danced alongside their parents in Kendrick’s infamous music video, “Not Like Us.”
Kendrick transparently shared the important lessons his children have taught him with W Magazine. In 2022, he told the publication, “My children allowed me, in their development as human beings beginning to walk and talk, to remove my ego. ‘Will I allow them to be themselves? Will I allow them to journey off in the world and experience life for what they know of?’ That’s love, to me. And when I look at that, I try to apply it with how I express myself, how I look at my career, and how I meet other individuals.”
What Is Kendrick Lamar’s Net Worth?
Kendrick’s net worth is a whopping $140 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
