They were regarded as one of the coolest couples in the music industry and had some good times together. Their marriage lasted for five years, and they welcomed a son named Knight in July 2009. The couple later divorced in bitter circumstances in 2010. Since the split, the couple has gone to court several times over shared custody of their son. Kelis has also accused Nas of being physically abusive and unfaithful, which made her file for divorce.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Couple Has Two Children &#8211; Shepherd and Galilee<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Mike Mora and Kelis were married for more than seven years. The couple previously resided in the city of L.A., but after the summer of 2019, Kelis decided that she had had enough of being stuck in the city. They, therefore, moved to a 24-acre farm located outside L.A. The farm features a vegetable garden, a greenhouse, and animals such as chickens, goats, and cows. The couple did all the tending by themselves and loves their new location as it is a great place to raise kids. Mora and Kelis welcomed their first child together, Shepherd, in November 2015, and Mora took to his Instagram page to share the good news with dirty diapers and busy dads.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_137758\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-137758\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-137758 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Most-Copy.jpg\" alt=\"Mike Mora \" width=\"696\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Most-Copy.jpg 696w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Most-Copy-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-137758\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imagesvc.meredithcorp.io\/v3\/mm\/image?q=85&amp;c=sc&amp;poi=%5B799%2C205%5D&amp;w=1080&amp;h=1080&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.onecms.io%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F20%2F2021%2F10%2F06%2Fmike-mora-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Image Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The couple welcomed a daughter named Galilee in September 2020. This time, Kelis did the honors of announcing her birth and shared a picture of the little infant grabbing her finger. She stated that she was a naturally private person but really wanted to let in people this time around so that they could talk about the stuff that women go through silently. Mora and Kelis, together with their kids, all make their home on the California farm. Another important member of their family is Kelis&#8217; son, Knight, from her first marriage. In fact, as Mora tells it, he has a total of three kiddos.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>He Built A Career As A Photographer and Realtor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Mike Mora made his living as a realtor and photographer. A perusal of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mikemorarealty\/\">Facebook page<\/a> will show that his realty business was most active around 2016, with properties both in California and Colombia. Most of his listed houses in the U.S. were located in Studio City and were quite pricy, starting from $719,000 and above.<\/p>\n<p>His Colombia properties were also exquisitely designed, which means that they must have gone for a hefty sum, and he, in turn, would have earned a good salary as well. Asides from real estate, Mike Mora was also a talented photographer.<\/p>\n<p>He was passionate about his craft and is versed in several genres such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/entertainment\/3809438\/who-kelis-husband-mike-mora\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fine art<\/a>, portraits, lifestyle, and many more. Some of Mike Mora&#8217;s stunning photographs can be viewed on his Instagram account. He also has a website where he sells his personalized photos and <a href=\"http:\/\/mikemorafotos.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">services<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The native New Yorker is certainly a multi-talented fellow, and this is a trait that he shares with his spouse, Kelis. She is a singer as well as a trained chef. Kelis first began singing after high school and went on to drop her first album, <em>Kaleidoscope<\/em>, at the age of 20. This was in 1999, and the album was successful in several countries, including the U.K.<\/p>\n<p>Kelis has since struggled with record label issues, but she has managed to drop a few more albums which have spurred hit songs such as Milkshake, 4th of July, and Trick Me. Away from music, Mike Mora&#8217;s wife is also a trained saute chef.<\/p>\n<p>She spent four years honing her craft at the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School and has now released a cookbook as well as a sauce line. She has also starred in multiple cooking shows such as <em>Cooked with Cannabis<\/em> and<em> Saucy and Sweet<\/em>. In 2014, Kelis combined her passion for food and music by dropping an album named <em>Food<\/em>. It reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and had aptly-titled singles such as Jerk Ribs, Rumble, and Friday Fish Fry.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CRZeiduo1-3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The couple has now come under an intense spotlight after Mora was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essence.com\/health-and-wellness\/kelis-husband\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diagnosed<\/a> with stomach cancer in 2020. The road to such devastating news began when the photographer noticed a strong pain in his stomach followed by pain in the back and loss of appetite.<\/p>\n<p>He initially put it down to the hard farm work but later began suspecting an ulcer. When things refused to get better, Mike Mora visited the hospital where he saw multiple specialists. An endoscopic biopsy was conducted on him, and the verdict was that he was suffering from gastric adenocarcinoma or stage 4 stomach cancer.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CUbSmjPJF8R\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
