Kevin Gates Upgraded His New Wife’s Ring After Airing Out Dreka Gates & Their Divorce Last Week
As The Shade Room previously reported, Dreka Gates made headlines in July 2025 when TMZ reported that she filed for divorce from Kevin Gates. This, reportedly, after ten years of marriage and while citing “irreconcilable differences.” Furthermore, Dreka listed their date of separation as July 10, 2025, and noted her desire to receive spousal support while blocking the support for Kevin.
In October 2025, it was reported that Dreka is seeking “$27,193 per month in child support” for their two sons and “$46,274 per month in spousal support.” Additionally, it was revealed that her divorce filing accused Kevin of dismantling the “financial foundation of their family” in late 2021. Per Dreka, Kevin allegedly “stopped paying for basic family obligations such as property taxes and their children’s private school tuition.” This, while he still allegedly purchased luxury vehicles and property.
To note, in her filing, Dreka noted that she wanted primary custody of their sons, at least if only temporarily, because they had spent the last two years with Kevin. In response to her filing, Kevin reportedly asserted that he and Dreka were never legally married.
Then, last week, Kevin took to social media, alleging that he and Dreka have been split since 2020. Additionally, he said that she only filed for divorce after he stopped giving her money. Furthermore, he accused Dreka and her family of stealing money from him, despite her allegedly being in a new relationship.
