Fans Think Stevie J and Faith Evans Are Going Over Board with Their ‘Fake’ Love After Getting More Matching Tattoos

Newlyweds Stevie J. and Faith Evans aren’t phased by the naysayers who think they’re love is fake.

The couple have been flaunting their relationship all over social media and posting sweet selfies together. Stevie J. and Evans dished a few deets about their marriage to TMZ during an interview on Monday and said they’re truly in love.

“We went to Vegas for a business meeting,” Evans said. “We were actually talking about plenty of places to get married, but we were in Vegas and I was like we don’t have to wait to go to such and so and he was like ‘let’s go now’… And we got online and we did that.”

The “I Love You” singer denied the rumors about their marriage being fake. “There’s nothing for the haters… I don’t have anything for them,” she said. “We love each other and we’re happy.”

Fans blasted the couple when they first tied the knot and called their marriage “fake.”

“Ok luv ya married now but how long r ya gonna keep dragging it. Making me think ya did it make money off it.#nextstoryline,” an Instagram user wrote.

“Everybody been trying to use that Bey/Hov formula. Get married and capitalize off of it. This the bootleg version #lowbudgetproduction,” another added.

One person said, ” The marriage has to be a joke; a publicity stunt!”

The couple recently got matching tattoos on their forearms that read, “The Jordans.” They’ve been posting lovey-dovey pictures of one another all over their social media accounts.

The two have been friends for decades and reconnected back in 2016 during the “Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour.” Evans said she was never interested in Stevie J. romantically, but he somehow won her over.

The two wedded in July and applied for marriage license in July. The two have reportedly been looking at a $40 million yacht for their wedding ceremony.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
