Miami rapper Trina has finally opened up about her secret marriage, sharing details about her personal life, wedding plans, thoughts on children, and why she opted against signing a prenuptial agreement with her husband. In a candid conversation with Keyshia Ka’oir, wife of rapper Gucci Mane, on her podcast ‘All Things Keyshia Ka’oir,’ Trina explained the dynamics of her marriage and how she has full control over her husband’s finances. She proudly shared, “He brings all of his money to me. I see everything.”
News of Trina’s private wedding surfaced in June, revealing that the rapper secretly tied the knot with her boyfriend, Benjamin Kearse Jr. Court documents confirmed that the couple applied for their marriage license on April 5, 2024, and officially got married on May 22, 2024, in Miramar, Florida. Known for keeping her love life under wraps, Trina, whose full name is Katrina Laverne Taylor, had kept her relationship and wedding largely private until now.
During the podcast, Ka’oir kicked off the conversation by asking if Trina’s lyrics reflected her real-life personality, asking, “Are you as freaky as your lyrics?” Trina playfully responded, “Sometimes, you know… And you know, being a wife, you have all the rights to be as freaky as you like. And spicy in the bedroom.” The two then delved into Trina’s secret wedding, with the rapper proudly confirming, “I did. I did,” in reference to her marriage.
Ka’oir humorously asked whether Trina and her new husband were still enjoying the honeymoon phase by “hunching around the house all day long.” Laughing, Trina admitted, “We are. Yeah, we are.” Ka’oir added that she could sense Trina’s happiness, to which Trina responded, “I am. Internally happy,” sharing that her contentment has been a long time coming.
The topic of a prenup came up, and Trina confessed that she had chosen not to get one. “I didn’t,” she admitted, before elaborating on her decision, “Because my husband brings all of his money to me. So, I’m in charge. He can’t spend a dime without my consent. He can’t spend a dime for nothing unless it goes through me.” Ka’oir celebrated her friend’s assertiveness, adding, “That’s what I’m talking about.”
As the conversation continued, Trina revealed more intimate details about her relationship. She shared that she enjoys cooking for her husband and that they’ve been together for about a year. When it comes to their official wedding celebration, the couple is planning to host it next year. Trina also opened up about her thoughts on starting a family, mentioning that she had previously suffered a miscarriage, but she remains optimistic about the future.
In this rare glimpse into her personal life, Trina showcased not just her happiness but also her strong stance on her role within her marriage. Whether it’s wedding plans, potential children, or financial matters, the rapper is clearly enjoying this new chapter of her life.
