Kevin Gates‘ new wife is serving youthful glow in their latest honeymoon photos, and the internet isn’t shying away from mentioning it! In the last week, Gates revealed via music video that he bagged another baddie and put a ring on it. He and Jelenny Tejada have appeared in several social media posts together since then. Now, she’s clapping back at folks who are relentlessly pointing out her young appearance!
Jelenny and Kevin first popped out together in September. Then, going into the holidays, Kevin Gates debuted “a promise” to his “wife.” She followed up on Christmas with a “my husband” post. “Grateful for my husband,” she wrote in the caption of her photo dump, which had photos of them and a close look at her engagement rock.
On Dec. 26, she posted an IG dump of “honeymoon” photos. One shot shows the couple posing by the fireplace, Tejada with a huge smile on her face, and her blinged-out hand on her man’s chest. Another shot shows them sitting at a dinner table, holding hands, looking off to the side. Both photos appeared to be tafken on the same day, and a third photo, also from that day, shows them close together, outside. One intimate picture shows Jelenny Tejada pressing her tongue against Kevin Gates’ lips as they lay in bed.
Most recently, after the glimpse into her honeymooon, Jelenny addressed the comment sections pointing out her youthful look. She took to Instagram Story with her clap back, posing for a selfie in the front seat of a car.
“Ya saying I look like a high schooler like it’s an insult…that means I’m aging like wine & got clear skin. Thank u to my genes also,” Jelenny wrote.
In The Shade Room’s comment section of Kevin and Jelenny’s honeymoon post, over 4,000 roomies didn’t hold back on their thoughts. Even Gates’ himself slid into the comment section, making it clear he pulled up just for the comments! Some mentioned how Jelanny looked next to Kevin Gates, who is 39. Tejada is rumored to be in her late 20s.

“Can’t wait for Dreka to pop out with someone! He gone be sick,”@meagan_hood2.0 said.
“Kevin bout to drop her off at somebody’s daycare after he’s finished with her,” @kweenmocha added.
“They like who they can manipulate get on my damn nerve,” @zarryisawinner_ commented.
“Hope they make it to the NBA finals,” @vada_fly said, adding a laughing emoticon.
“At least this one didnt fake a whole religion to be with him ,” @riiah_beautifull wrote, seemingly shading Kevin Gates’ romance with Brittany Renner from the top half of the year.
While Tejada might be Kevin Gates’ newest wife, but she’s not the only one whose claimed him this year. Brittany Renner stuck though a wardrobe and religious 180 while popping out on Gates’ arm as his wife, just a Muslim couple in love! However, their marriage lasted a total of 52 days, per Brittany, who says it started on April 6 and ended on May 28. Most recently, she and a man posted joint footage of them on a roadtrip to Big Bear Mountain.
As for Kevin Gates’ longer-term wife, Dreka, she filed to end their marriage at the end of July. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason, saying they separated on July 10. She’s seeking joint physical and legal custody of their two kids, daughter Islah and son Khaza, as well as spousal support. As of Saturday (Dec. 27), there are no posts available on her IG feed, but her reels are still present with the latest upload being a collab post from a podcast appearance in early November.
