Speaking to the Breakfast Club in 2016, the rapper said:

The American rapper is currently living a blissful married life. The entire family of three look adorable together. Moreover, his family's love helped him achieve much success in his career. In particular, his wife who has been a supportive figure throughout assisted him in becoming the man he is today.

Anderson Paak's Past Affairs And Relationships

During an interview with The Guardian in April 2016, Paak revealed Jae was actually his second wife.

As he recalled the time he was working on a weed farm, Anderson said:

 "So my [second] wife came in from Korea and she got pregnant…"

It was later revealed Anderson was previously married to his then-girlfriend when he was just 21. The couple first met at Oxnard's church and later moved to her with Los Angeles the same year they tied the knot.

However, the brief union didn't last. Speaking to LA Weekly in 2016, Paak said:

"Soon as I married the girl, I was about to divorce her."

He continued:

"I just wanted some stability. She was encouraging towards me singing and getting back into music… so I was grateful to have gone through that."

The name of the rapper's first wife was never disclosed. Meanwhile, it feels like a blessing in disguise the fact that Anderson split from her only to bump into the amazingly caring and supportive partner Jae.

Anderson Paak Was Once Homeless; No Money Left With Him

Paak's path to stardom was not easy at all. When he was merely seven years old, his father was sent to prison for assault, while his mother who was the victim of assault later went to jail after failing to declare her income.

Paak recalled:

"My little sister and I went out front and my pops was on top of my mom. There was blood in the street. He was arrested and that was the last time I saw him. I think he did 14 years."

The house that Paak lived in with his siblings was then foreclosed. It forced Anderson to raise himself enduring years of hardship.

By his mid-20s, Paak was married to his second wife and expecting his first child, while working on a weed farm in California. He later lost his job in 2011, subsequently turning the young couple homeless.

Paak and his wife were only able to build a decent life after being taken in by fellow musician Shafiq Husayn.

Husayn put them up until the rapper could finish recording his debut album Venice. After its success, Anderson was able to find a place for him and his family to live.

During an interview with The Breakfast Club in 2016, Anderson was asked about the time he was homeless. Anderson said:

"There was a period of time where I was homeless, and I had a family. My son was a newborn. I just got married. That time of being homeless built a lot of character. That’s the foundation that I’m on right now. A lot of songs came out of that. I needed that sh*t."

Speaking to Gigwise, Paak was asked how he coped with the difficult period. He responded, "I’d always say to myself: there’s gotta be a better ending than this. It can’t be like this."
