Lil Wayne has quietly gotten engaged.
According to a report from TMZ published on May 26, the 43-year-old rapper proposed earlier this year to a woman in her 20s who hails from Indiana. The proposal was described as an intimate, private affair with no public announcement, paparazzi presence or immediate leaks.
The Grammy-winning artist, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., has not commented publicly on the news, and his representatives have yet to confirm or deny the report. The identity of his fiancée has not been revealed, with the couple keeping the relationship under wraps.
This latest development comes after a period of relative privacy for Wayne, who has largely stayed out of tabloid headlines regarding his personal life in recent years. The news stands in contrast to several of his previous high-profile relationships.
Wayne was previously married to his high school sweetheart Toya Johnson from 2004 to 2006; the couple shares daughter Reginae Carter. He was also engaged to R&B singer Nivea, with whom he shares a son, and later to model La’Tecia Thomas. More recently, he was linked to plus-size model Denise Bidot in an on-and-off relationship that saw some public moments as recently as 2025. Additionally, Wayne shares a son with actress Lauren London and had a high-profile relationship with rapper Trina.
Social media reactions to the engagement news have been mixed, with many fans offering congratulations while others noted the significant age difference between the 43-year-old star and his fiancée.
Known for his larger-than-life persona and one of the most successful careers in hip-hop, Lil Wayne continues to be a major force in music. The New Orleans native has sold over 100 million records worldwide and earned 11 Grammy Awards, with landmark albums including Tha Carter III and Tha Carter IV.
Further details about the engagement are expected to emerge in the coming weeks if the couple decides to share more publicly.
