Lil Wayne and Denise Bidot have decided to part ways after quietly dating for over a year. The five-time Grammy winner went public with his relationship with the Good American model in the summer of 2020, following his engagement with La’Tecia Thomas. Reportedly, Wayne and Bidot initially met in the previous year and reconnected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wayne, previously married to his high school sweetheart Toya Johnson-Rushing, maintains a close relationship with her. Together, they share a daughter named Reginae Carter, who serves as an ambassador for Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty lingerie line. Wayne also has children with other partners, including broadcaster Sarah Vivan, actress Lauren London, and singer Nivea.

Denise Bidot celebrated Wayne’s 39th birthday in September 2021, publicly expressing her affection for him. However, Bidot confirmed their breakup in January 2022 during an interview with Hola!, where she shared her reflections on newfound singledom.

Bidot, of Puerto Rican and Kuwaiti descent, grew up in Miami before pursuing a career in Hollywood at the age of 18. Initially aspiring to become an actress, she transitioned into modeling after being scouted while working as a makeup artist. Bidot has modeled for prominent brands like Kohl’s, Macy’s, Target, Levi’s, Forever21, and Khloe Kardashian’s Good American.

Despite the challenges of breaking into the industry as a curvy woman, Bidot has become a vocal advocate for body positivity. She made history as one of the first “plus-sized” models to walk at New York Fashion Week in 2014. Bidot hopes to eliminate labels in the fashion industry and emphasizes self-love and confidence through campaigns like “There Is No Wrong Way to Be a Woman.”

As a dedicated mother to her daughter, Joselyn Adams, Bidot strives to impart lessons about self-love and body positivity. She cherishes her role in empowering her daughter to embrace her identity and believes in setting a positive example for women of all sizes and backgrounds.

Denise Bidot and Lil Wayne’s relationship, marked by public moments of affection and sweet gestures, drew attention from fans and media alike. Despite their split, Bidot remains open to the possibility of falling in love again and is embarking on a new chapter in her life with optimism and pride.
