Rapper Kevin Gates‘ wife Dreka Haynes, formerly Dreka Gates, has filed for divorce after nearly 10 years of marriage.
Kevin and Dreka were high school sweethearts and she tolerated his constant cheating for the sake of their children who need a father.
TMZ reports that Dreka filed for divorce on Wednesday, July 30. In the documents, obtained by TMZ, Dreka lists the date of separation as July 10, 2025, and she cited the usual “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
Kevin, 39, and Dreka, 38, have two minor children: 12-year-old Islah and 11-year-old Khaza. Dreka is seeking joint legal and physical custody of the kids.
Dreka is also seeking spousal support, and she checked the box to terminate the court’s ability to award spousal support to Kevin.
Kevin and Dreka would have celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary in October 2025.
Kevin and Dreka are practicing Muslims. She tolerated his cheating and breeding multiple children out of wedlock. She even put up with him “marrying” reality star Brittany Renner on April 6.
The “Basketball Wives” star confirmed they divorced on May 28.
Brittany converted to Islam before “marrying” Kevin in a Muslim ceremony. Their marriage was not legal in the eyes of the law since Kevin was already married to Dreka.
“There is a 90 day waiting period in Islam, where you have 90 days to see if you’re pregnant because then he would be responsible,” Brittany explained in an interview with radio station REAL 92.3 in Los Angeles.
Islam allows men to take as many wives as they can afford.
