Jeannie Mai isn’t playing any games with her daughter’s cultural awareness! ‘The Real’ host recently shared footage of her and Jeezy‘s two-year-old Monaco Mai Jenkins speaking Vietnamese during a family outing.
Monaco’s language skills are a positive spotlight in a not-so-nice court battle between her parents. Custody has become a highlight of Jeezy and Jeannie’s divorce proceedings.

Monaco Was Spittin’ Vietnamese With Ease
Monaco and Mommy seemingly kicked off summer across the globe in the Philippines. The caption in her vacation recap on Instagram thanked Hilton Manila for making her “dreams come true” with a custom welcome. In Jeannie’s words, her and Coco’s summer is “just getting started, hunnay!”

The in-feed post showed clips from their time arriving to and in the Asian country, from a hilarious butter moment on the place, to co-enjoying local foods to kicking it on the beach.
While seaside, Jeannie Mai rocked a black monokini while little Monaco wore a striped blue-and-white one. The third item in Jeannie’s carousel post showed the 45-year-old practicing Vietnamese with her little one. The bilingual baby easily knew the Vietnamese translation of the words “water splash” and “sand.”

Jeannie Mai & Jeezy Are Duking It Out In Court
As mentioned, while Jeannie and Coco were all smiles in the Philippines, things in court between Mommy and her co-parent have been tense. Jeezy first filed for divorce from Jeannie in September 2023 after two and a half years of marriage.
Since then, it’s been a character slaughter among the parents, including allegations of child negligence and infidelity. Mai has also accused her estranged husband of cheating and emotional and physical abuse, citing at least three incidents throughout their relationship. She claims that one incident involved Jeezy punching her in the face three weeks after she gave birth to Coco in Jan. 2022.
Jeezy has denied such allegations, calling them “false” and “deeply disturbing” and a “malicious attempt to tarnish [his] character.”

Still, the couple has continued to fight on the legal side. According to RadarOnline, last month, Jeezy filed a motion to dismiss or modify their mediated agreement. He accused his estranged wife of not adhering to their child custody and parenting agreement while he allegedly did.
The paperwork reportedly read, as first translated by The Blast:
“Unfortunately, the Respondent is weaponizing Petitioner’s love for the parties’ minor child against him in hope that he will concede to Respondent’s unrealistic and erratic demands,” Jeezy alleged.
At this time, it’s unclear whether Jeezy approved Monaco’s trip to the other side of the world.
