Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus Share Their Secret to a Long-Lasting Love
After nearly three decades of marriage, Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus are proving that longevity in love is all about one simple rule—keeping it fun.
“Keep it fun to where, you know, he’s going on the road a lot, so we do have time to miss each other, but just keep it fun and business,” Broadus, 53, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Choc Factory Cosmetics launch event on Saturday, February 15.
From High School Sweethearts to Hip-Hop’s Power Couple
Snoop, 53, and Shante’s love story goes way back. The couple first met as teenagers while attending Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California. In 1989, they went to prom together—a moment that now feels like the start of something truly iconic. Eight years later, they made it official, tying the knot and embarking on a journey filled with love, family, and success.
A Love That Stands the Test of Time
Over the years, the Broaduses have built a beautiful family together, raising three children—Cordé, 30, Cordell, 27, and Cori, 25. Snoop is also father to Julian, 26, from a previous relationship with Laurie Helmond. Through ups and downs, the couple has remained committed to each other, always finding ways to nurture their relationship.
Romance Never Goes Out of Style
Even after 27 years of marriage, Snoop and Shante continue to shower each other with love and thoughtful gestures. Recently, Snoop surprised his wife with a brand-new watch, while Broadus received some luxurious gifts from Louis Vuitton just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Their story is a testament to the power of love, fun, and mutual respect. While Snoop’s legendary career keeps him on the road, their ability to embrace space, miss each other, and keep things exciting has been their key to success.
For this hip-hop power couple, love isn’t just about longevity—it’s about making every moment count. 💕

Shante Broadus Shares Her Biggest Lesson on Love: “Hold Each Other Down”
For Shante Broadus, the secret to a lasting marriage isn’t just about love—it’s about commitment through the highs and lows.
“Just hold each other down,” she told Us Weekly at Lucid Studios in Beverly Hills. “That’s what it’s all about. Just stick it out and be there together. You may have ups and downs, but we gotta stick it through. We family, you know?”
As she and Snoop Dogg continue to celebrate nearly 30 years of marriage, their relationship serves as an inspiration for their children—including their daughter, Cori Broadus, who is now embarking on her own journey of love and family.
Cori Broadus on Love, Marriage, and Her Parents’ Influence
Cori, who is preparing to marry her fiancé Wayne Deuce and welcome their first child together, has been taking notes from her parents’ enduring love story.
“No matter what happens, stick together, have each other’s back,” Cori told Us. “It’s not gonna always be ice cream and cake. There’s gonna be problems. There’s going to be bumps in the road, but as long as you guys can get through it, that’s all that matters.”
Cori & Wayne’s New Venture: Empowering Women with Choc Factory Cosmetics
Beyond wedding planning and motherhood, Cori and Wayne are also teaming up for a new business venture: Choc Factory Cosmetics—a self-care line designed to celebrate beauty in all its forms.
From lip glosses to lip masks, the collection is crafted to help women feel confident in their own skin.
“I think this brand, to make it short and sweet, is really just a brand where we make people feel comfortable and feel like they have a space to fit in,” Cori explained at the launch event, which featured ilios lighting.
Recognizing the pressure of today’s beauty standards, she added: “With society and their beauty standards, it’s very high and I feel like it’s very unrealistic. We’re giving them a realistic space to be [their] natural self.”
Keeping Family & Love at the Center
With love, business, and a growing family ahead, Cori is carrying on the lessons of loyalty, perseverance, and self-love that she’s learned from her parents. And as Shante and Snoop continue to show, sticking together through it all is what truly matters. 💕
