Faith Evans has been married thrice since she began her professional career. Her first marriage was to The Notorious B.I.G. and it lasted from 1994 to 1997. After they parted ways, she married Todd Russaw (1998\u20132011), and later Stevie J (2018\u20132021).<\/strong><\/p>\n Faith Evans is one musician who has made the headlines for her love life as much as her musical exploits. The Florida-born singer has dropped several hit albums which have spurned evergreen tracks such as I\u2019ll Be Missing You, Soon As I Get Home<\/em>, and Never Gonna Let You Go<\/em>.<\/p>\n She has sold more than 20 million records and won several awards, including a Grammy. She has also featured in several TV shows and movies. Evans\u2019 career exploits have been captivating but so has her love life which has often intertwined with her music.<\/p>\n The Grammy-winner famously dated and married the late Biggie Smalls after just eight days. They would remain legally hitched until his death but their union was marred by several issues, including Biggie\u2019s cheating spree and Evans\u2019 alleged hookup with his bitter rival, Tupac.<\/p>\n That unproven speculation will ultimately heighten the rivalry between both men and when they both wound up dead, some people fingered Evans. She refused to let this wreck her but forged on with her career. She has also gone on to give love another chance on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n One of Faith Evans\u2019 earliest known relationships was with musician, Kiyamma Griffin. Griffin is a native of Newark, New Jersey. He is a music producer, composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist. He has produced songs for the likes of Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson, Usher, and Christopher Williams.<\/p>\n His genre of music is now gospel as a trip to his social media pages<\/a> will reveal. Evans first got to know Griffin while she was living in Newark in the early 90s. At that time, she was in her first year of college and they fell head over heels in love with each other. Their romance blossomed until they discovered that she was pregnant.<\/p>\n The young couple were ill-prepared for such and were at a loss of what to do. They however decided to keep the child and relocated to Los Angeles in search of better opportunities there.<\/p>\n In L.A., the couple found it hard to land opportunities in the music industry and this left them struggling to make ends meet. This remained the status even as they went on to welcome their child, a daughter named Chyna Tahjere Griffin<\/a>, on the 1st of April 1993. The coming of the newborn was a thing of joy but it further strained the couple\u2019s finances and relationship.<\/p>\n They broke up when their baby was a few months old and Faith Evans moved on solo. She largely raised Chyna all by herself but Griffin later made effort to be a part of her life. Chyna is all grown up now and is a budding R&B singer herself. She has a good relationship with both her mom and her dad. Her dad, Griffin, is now remarried to a lady named Ashley and they have about three daughters together.<\/p>\nFaith Evans’ First Known Relationship Was With Music Producer, Kiyamma Griffin, in 1993<\/strong><\/h2>\n
