K. Michelle Seemingly Confirms She’s Still With Kastan Sims After Months of Breakup Speculation

It was rumored that R&B singer K. Michelle had broken up with her longtime boyfriend Dr. Kastan Sims, but it seems the two are still together.

For a while now, fans wondered if K. Michelle and her “Dr. Bae” were still together after not publicly being spotted together for some time. However, it appears the couple are still on after the “Can’t Raise a Man” singer seemingly confirmed they’re still in a relationship.

The 34-year-old mother took to social media on Feb. 14 and shared a post that blasted folks for putting on a front for the sake of Valentine’s Day.

“How was ya’ll Halloween? Valentines ain’t nothing but people dressing up like they give a F–K,” the now-deleted Instagram post read.

“All you ni–a[s] trying to take me from my man ain’t send me no diamond nothing 😂. Thank God I keep my legs close and I’m faithful,” she wrote.

“So you two are still together?” one fan asked.

Another added, “You betta be faithful💘 !”

Around August 2018, fans pointed out how K. Michelle never shares any details about Dr. Sims or their relationship on social media. She responded back by going a full tirade about not having to “post her man.”

“Let me teach ya’ll about me. I don’t mess with nobody, but if you f–k with me, you will wish you never ever knew a new me,” she said. “Issa marriage… I’m married… I don’t have to post my man.”

K. Michelle told Essence in December 2017 that she and Sims, who’s a dentist, have known each for more than a decade and remained friends during her music career peak. She often refers to him as her husband, although they’re not legally married.

“We’ve been friends for over 19 years now, and I just looked at him and said this is the type of man that I should be with, someone who is my friend. … I feel like I’m married because he’s been attach to me for 19 years,” she said. “We just connect with us. … He knows who Limberly Pate is, he knows my government name, he knows me as that.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
