Faith Evans Fights Stevie J’s Request for Spousal Support

Faith Evans and Stevie J’s divorce proceedings are heating up as Evans has recently asked the court to deny Stevie J’s request for spousal support.

In addition to asking the court to block his request, in legal documents Evans is also asking that she be able to retain all of what she had before coming into the marriage.

The document reads that she is asking that “all property acquired prior to marriage, by gift, inheritance, or devise, and after the date of separation.” (She) contends that the exact nature of such assets and debts are not yet fully known, and (she) will amend her petition or supplement it at the time of trial.”

For now, it is not clear the exact amount that Stevie J is requesting, but it seems that Evans is not concerned with receiving any spousal support from him. What also has raised eyebrows is the date that each party has listed for when they separated. Stevie’s documents state that they were separated this year on October 19, 2021. However, Evans says they have been separated since May 29, 2020.

Fans had different opinions about whether Evans should be required to pay Stevie J the spousal support. Both are musicians, with Evans being an R&B singer and Stevie J being a record producer. One person said, “Nah she needs to pay him if it was reversed he would have to pay,” and another wrote, “Stevie J is a clown for even asking for spousal support.”

Evans and Stevie have had their fair share of problems since they tied the knot in 2018. There’s been a domestic violence arrest with claims that Evans abused Stevie, infidelity accusations, a viral video of an argument between them, and now this divorce filing.

However, with each incident prior to moves toward divorce, the two have seemed to find a way to work it out and stick together.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
