Kevin Gates’ Wife Dreka Files For Divorce After Nine Years Of Marriage

After nearly a decade of marriage, Dreka Gates has filed for divorce from American rapper, Kevin Gates.

According to TMZ, Dreka Gates filed the divorce on July 30, 2025, putting an end to a relationship that began with their wedding in October 2015.

In the documents, Dreka lists July 10 as the day they officially separated and cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the breakup.

The couple shares two children, 12-year-old Islah and 11-year-old Khaza, and Dreka is asking for joint legal and physical custody of both.

She’s also requesting spousal support while asking the court to block Kevin Gates from receiving any support from her.

It’s not yet known if they had a prenuptial agreement.

Dreka has been more than just Kevin’s wife—she also played a key role in his music career, acting as his manager during major milestones.

Many fans saw her as a steady influence during some of his toughest moments.

The divorce filing comes just months before what would have been their 10th wedding anniversary.

Kevin Gates’ team has confirmed he won’t be making any public comments for now.

The news has quickly spread online, drawing attention from fans who have followed their journey over the years. Their split joins a growing number of celebrity breakups making headlines in 2025.

KanyiDaily recalls that Christine Baumgartner, the estranged wife of Kevin Costner, demanded $248,000 per month in child support for their three children during their divorce battle.
