Inside 50 Cent's Dating History: Everything to Know

Inside 50 Cent's long and turbulent dating history: The Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ hitmaker is a doting father of one! Complete story here!

OG rapper 50 Cent stands true to his name and his explosive debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin, which recently entered its 20th anniversary. Since kicking off his career in the late 1990s, Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, has come a long way. Cent's ascension to global stardom began with a turmoil-filled life in Queens, where he was trapped in the ugly racket loop of drugs, violence, and incarceration. 50 has since rapped his way up to become one of the most versatile hip-hop figures of all time. Cent is also an actor, television producer, and businessman.  

Curtis was born on July 6, 1975, in Queens. Often placed alongside fellow OG rappers like Eminem, Diddy, and Dr. Dre, Cent's hustler ethos, his thriving media mogul title and the slew of classic hits to his name make Curtis a fan-favorite. The Grammy-winning rapper has also had a long and turbulent dating career. Out of many women who Curtis romanced in his lifetime, not one has come close to walking down the aisle with the rapper, while only two have bore Cent's child.  

Inside 50 Cent's Dating history!  

Every star has a pre-fame love story, which mostly remains a mystery to the media and their fervent fans. But in Cent's case, the rapper's earliest known relationship happens to be one of his most notorious. Jackson was in a relationship with Shaniqua Tompkins when he came into the business. Tompkin gave birth to Curtis's eldest child, Marquise, in October 1996, but sadly, the relationship between the pair has since turned strained and even bitter. Cent and Shaniqua's legal battle and social media bickering have been going on for years, with no possibility of calling a truce in the sight.   

The In Da Club hitmaker dated Cousin Skeeter actress Meagan Good for a year in the early 2000s. The actress even appeared in Cent's 21 Questions before the duo subtly parted ways. Most of Cent's ex-girlfriends don't have good words to say about the rapper, but Vivica A. Fox's statement differed from the rest. The actress who dated Cent in 2003, called him the "love of her life" in 2018. Vivica also divulged that their relationship fell apart because of the inundating media attention.  

Cent's romantic history also includes a reel love-turned-real. The rapper-turned-actor dated his 2005 crime drama Get Rich Or Die Tryin's co-star Joy Bryant. The Grammy winner's most surprising link-up that took many by surprise was with hotel heiress Paris Hilton. The unlikely pair were rumored to be dating in 2008. Although the duo never admitted to the rumor, several shreds of evidence hinted at a brewing connection between the two or a fleeting dalliance at the least.  

 The 21 Questions rapper has even experienced dating a comedian, and it's none other than the hilarious Chelsea Handler, who speaks fondly of Cent. The pair had a two-month short romance in 2010 but despite the brief dating stint, Curtis left a memorable impression on Handler, who still calls him her "favorite ex" to date. "I mean I love 50 Cent you know he was fun he was just a sweetheart and he was fun to be around," the comedian once said about Cent.  

The In Da Club crooner famously dated singer Ciara, with whom he collaborated on her hitmaker Can't Leave 'Em Alone. The twosome kept their relationship low profile during the three years they were together and almost emerged as a power couple before they went separate ways in 2010. Cent's brief relationship with model Daphne Joy made him a father for the second time when Joy gave birth to their son, Sire, in 2012. The rapper-turned-mogul was last linked with model Tattedup Holly. 

Who is 50 Cent Dating?    

Cent continues to keep his dating scene as low profile as possible, but that doesn't mean the rapper is still flowing like his old days. The Candy Shop hitmaker, for the first time in a while, is in a serious relationship. Curtis has been dating model/influencer, Jamira Haines, notably known as Cuban Link, since early 2019. Fans believe Cent's relationship with Link could be the endgame. The media mogul hardly opens up about his love life, so, when Curtis gushed about his romance with Cuban, fans knew it was something special.  

"I'm in a friendship with a woman, and I'm finding gratification out of seeing her happy," the Grammy winner said, adding, "at this point, I think I'm in love with her." He added, "I'm happy because I know she's really happy at that point. It's not necessarily coming from me, but that's how I interpret love." Cent and Haines' meet-cute story and much of their love story remain hidden from the media's eyes, but we know for a fact that it has gotten serious.   

The model/influencer is a multi-talented and multi-hyphenated star like her beau. Besides being a fast-growing model and influencer, Haines is also a fitness trainer and is involved in a real estate company called Linked Investments. Although Cent and Haines rarely make public appearances, Jamila has accompanied her powerhouse beau on several red carpets and has shown Cent utmost support in his endeavors.
