Even though she encountered infidelity in past relationships, which she has discussed on the current season of "R&B Divas LA," recording artist and reality TV star Michel'le says the fathers of her two children, Suge Knight and Dr. Dre, have been great fathers.
"I will say that my children’s fathers (I have a 22 year old son with Dr. Dre and a 10 year old daughter with Suge Knight) do love and take care of their children. They are great fathers and they are there for them," Michel'le wrote in a recent blog entry via TV One. "It’s not always monetary. It’s about being there."
As seen on "R&B Divas LA," Michel'le and Dawn Robinson both struggled with men that were unfaithful, in some cases, producing several children outside of their marriages or committed relationships.
In related news, Michel'le wants to make it clear that her voice is authentic. Addressing her unique vocal tone, Michel'le says it's actually been a blessing and a money making tool.
"Yes, it is REAL. I am who I am. I do voice-overs and that’s a plus so if you want to HATE please don’t! :) I don’t get mad at all the comments because it is who I am. That’s like me walking over to a bald man at the bar and asking him why is his head bare in THAT typical bald spot. I don’t understand it but I’m not going to ask…that’s just how we are made and my voice is just who I am," Michel'le offered in her most recent blog entry via TV One.
Michel'le appears on TV One's "R&B Divas LA," airing Wednesday nights at 10 p.m.
Are you curious about how Michel’le navigated co-parenting with two of rap music’s biggest names, Suge Knight and Dr. Dre?
In a recent interview, the R&B singer and reality TV star opened up about her experiences raising children with both men. Michel’le shares that co-parenting with Suge was challenging, particularly when it came to discipline. She describes him as being ‘very strict’and recalls instances where he would spank their child for misbehaving.
However, she also acknowledges that he played an important role in their son’s life and helped provide stability during difficult times. On the other hand, co-parenting with Dr. Dre was a bit smoother, although they did have their fair share of disagreements over parenting styles.
Nevertheless, Michel’le credits both men for being present fathers who cared deeply about their children’s well-being.
Co-Parenting with Suge Knight and Dr. Dre
You may think co-parenting with Suge Knight and Dr. Dre would be impossible, but Michel’le opens up about the challenges and rewards of raising children with two music industry powerhouses. Despite their tumultuous relationships, Michel’le admits that both men played an important role in her children’s lives.
She explains that while she was with Suge Knight, he was a very hands-on father figure to their son, Marcel. “Suge was really good about being a dad,”she says. “He loved his kids.”However, things were different when it came to Dr. Dre and their son, Truth. Michel’le reveals that because of Dre’s busy schedule and the distance between them (he lived in Los Angeles while they resided in Las Vegas), he wasn’t as involved in Truth’s upbringing.
Despite these challenges, Michel’le emphasizes the importance of putting her children first and finding ways to make co-parenting work. “It wasn’t about me or my feelings towards either one of them,”she says. “It was always about the kids.”She also acknowledges that having two successful fathers in their lives taught her children valuable lessons about hard work and perseverance.
Overall, despite the difficulties, Michel’le is grateful for the experiences and growth that came from raising her children alongside two music legends.
