Tameka “Tiny” Harris would like you to listen up.
She’d like you to really focus. She’d like you to put everything else aside for a moment and closely read what she’s about to say.
Okay? Are you ready? Are you all set?
Here goes: SHE AND T.I. ARE NOT BREAKING UP!!!!!!
With rumors abounding that she and the rapper are headed for a divorce, Harris has released a statement through her rep.
“Tameka Harris has read so much about her marriage in the past few weeks that it’s time to set the record straight and really educate everyone on the facts,” it reads.
“Certain blogs have ‘reported’ that she’s going to be a single mom, she’s getting a divorce, she has a new residence and everything in between.”
Hey, The Hollywood Gossip is not one of those blogs. For the record and everything.
Last month, however, chatter did circulate around these Internet parts that Harris and T.I. had been separated for months.
“On behalf of Mrs. Harris, this is the truth – Tameka and T.I. are good,” the statement continues.
“They love each other and they have a beautiful family with seven amazing children. For them it will always be family over everything.”
Harris and T.I. are actually one of the most underrated couple in Hollywood, in terms of tandems you rarely think about that have lasted many years.
They got married in 2010.
They are parents of daughter Heiress and sons Clifford and Major, while T.I. is also the father of sons Messiah and Domani and daughter Deyjah from previous relationships.
Harris, meanwhile, shares daughter Zonnique with ex Zonnie Zebo Pullins.
But they’ve made this large and diverse family work.
They’ve even made it work through five seasons of T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle on VH1.
They even remained together when T.I. completed 11 months in prison for drug charges in 2011.
Do they have a secret to their success? Not really.
“We are just taking it one day at a time. Everything is looking good,” Harris told Us Weekly in 2014.
“For us, we spend a lot of time together and we have a lot of love for each other and we … try to cater to each other in different ways.”
