Congrats! NBA Youngboy And Jazlyn Mychelle Got Married, License Shows

NBA YoungBoyis a married man! The 23-year-old tied the knot with his girlfriend, Jazlyn Mychelle Hayes, on January 7, according to a marriage license reviewed byThe Shade Room.

It’s unclear if the pair already had a wedding ceremony or if they’ve planned one for a later date. But the marriage license date lines up with what YoungBoy, real name Kentrell Gaulden, told fans on Instagram live in December.

He was talking to fans about being ‘lonely,’ and then someone suggested he join OnlyFans. Seemingly offended, the rap artist blurted out:

‘This n***a said OnlyFans,” YoungBoy directed at someone near him. “I’m getting married January 7. Boy, you can’t pay me $10 million to get on muthaf**kin’ OnlyFans, n***a. You crazy.”

As of Monday, neither YoungBoy nor Jazz have reacted to the spreading marriage news. However, HipHop DXreports that he got married in Utah.

Becoming a husband is another win for YoungBoy after a project-filled 2022. In total, he released eight full-length projects, including albums and mixtapes, perHypebeast.

His release list includes Last Slimento, Realer 2,andMa’ I Got A Family, which featured Jazlyn and their two children on the cover. Released in October,Ma’ I Got A Familyincludes features from Nicki Minaj and Yeat.

Last year, NBA YoungBoy also expanded his family, welcoming his second child with Jazlyn and tenth overall.He revealed the news in early September in the video forPurge Me,which featured a pregnant Jazlyn and their toddler daughter, Alice. She was born in 2021.

He also shared a close-up photo of Jazlyn’s bump with a large engagement ring in view.

Their second child, a boy, was born that same month. YoungBoy hasn’t confirmed the name of his youngest, but fan pages claim it’s Klemenza Tru.

Congratulations to NBA YoungBoy and Jazlyn!
