Inside Anderson .Paak's Marriage!  

Anderson is navigating a crisis in his personal life as his longstanding marriage with Jaylyn Chang comes to an end. Anderson's now-estranged wife, Chang, was his rock for a long time, standing by him through his rigorous and illustrious journey to success.

Paak and Jaylyn may not be together anymore, but the couple lived over a decade of their as husband and wife and welcomed two kids, Soul Rasheed, and Shine Tariq, over the course of their relationship. The Leave the Door Open hitmaker met Jaylyn, who is also a musician, during his early days working as a teaching assistant at a music school.  

Anderson and Jaylyn's Korean roots and their shared penchant for music were enough to ignite a spark between the two. The pair tied the knot in 2011 after Jaylyn got pregnant with their firstborn. "When I got pregnant, it just happened," said Chang in a rare interview. The newly married started their conjugal journey in some torrid times.  

The rapper once recalled how the couple suffered from financial woes for a long time, and at a point, they even battelled homelessness. Anderson and Chang saw better days after the rapper rose to groundbreaking fame in 2015.  

While crediting Jaylyn for always having his back, and supporting his dreams, Paak said, "She was never like you should stop doing something other than music." Fans have been left baffled, witnessing a couple as resilient as Anderson and Jaylyn end their 13-year-long marriage.  

This isn't the first time the Grammy winner's marriage has unraveled. Many aren't familiar with it, but Chang is Anderson's second wife. The Silk Sonic singer was briefly married to an unidentified woman in his early 20s.

Jaylyn is reportedly a gospel singer and sings in a gospel rock group. The Leave the Door Open crooner once touched on Chang's journey from Korea. "She is the one who came from Korea, didn't speak any English. She is the one who has the balls," said Anderson.  

Chang doesn't seem to be on any social media platforms and rarely appeared in Anderson's feed, but the couple's older son, Soul, often shines in the limelight with the multiple Grammy winner. The duo's son has shared the stage with the singer numerous times; one time on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and in Anderson's mv, Tints.
