There are two things Claressa Shields doesn’t play about: her undefeated title as a boxer and her man, Papoose. Shields has been loud and proud about Pap since Remy Ma exposed their relationship in December 2024. From baecations to date nights, red carpet events and even boxing match walkouts, their love has been on full display. Following Claressa’s win against Franchón Crews-Dezurn last weekend, she’s continuing to show her man just how much he and his support mean to her!

Claressa Shields Says Her Joy With Papoose “Feels Different”
The undisputed champ spoke on her love life via an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 26). She included multiple photos of her Pap, namely from events leading up to and after her recent boxing match. Shields also shared footage of her boyfriend helping her train. One image showed Pap with his hands wrapped around her waist, standing on the beach and planting a kiss on his lady’s cheek. Another photo showed her cheesing while holding a bouquet of roses. However, it was her caption about their “invincible Black love” that had fans feeling the fairytale vibes!
“Every time I step into that ring, I carry your love with me 🥊 💚 You calm my nerves, pray over me, and remind me who I am Daily! Winning is sweet… but sharing it with you is everything 🥹🤞🏾 This joy feels different. This love feels powerful 💪🏾 That invincible black love — and I’m so grateful we get to live it out loud. ❤️✨ Thank you for being a man, making my life easier & protecting me. Your support doesn’t do unnoticed Papi. Love you 😘”
What’s Tea With Remy Ma And Papoose’s Divorce?
Before this new “invincible Black love” came along, the internet was obsessed with the “IT couple” energy Papoose and Remy Ma shared. They became a symbol of “Black love”and a visual representation of a man loving his wife unconditionally, particularly during the six years she spent in prison. By 2024, though, cheating rumors had started surfacing on the internet with eyes mainly on Remy. That December, as said, she blasted Pap on social media, and dragged Claressa Shields into the marital mess. The fallout led to insults being thrown on the internet between the estranged married folks and the new girlfriend. The shade went on for several months, though on-and-off. By May 2025, Pap told the world that he had already filed for a divorce and Remy claimed, “Everything is signed and ready to go.”
However, as of December 2025, the estranged former couple were still not divorced. That was revealed during an interview on ‘The Breakfast Club’ with Claressa and Papoose. Shields sparked heavy online backlash after she weighed in on her man’s unfinished divorce. DJ Envy, during the interview, told Pap that he desires to see him and Remy Ma fix their friendship. Claressa responded, saying it takes time and urging people to let his past go. She made similar comments on the same show back in May 2025.
“That takes time. It’s a divorce. It’s not something that just happens overnight, but people life don’t stop because of that. It’s papers, it’s time, it’s stuff that gotta happen, but at the end of the day, we move forward with our lives,” Claressa said. Then, Pap jumped in, adding, “Like I said, I wish her the best..” Claressa agreed with, “Yeah, for sure.”
