To answer the question, yes, the artist was married. Earl Arnett married Tashera Simmons in 1998, following in his father’s footsteps. DMX had already started his successful career and was living a happy life with his wife at the time.

However, living with a celebrity is not as simple as we thought. Once the lady stated on her website, mentioning the pros and cons and elaborating on it, they would be able to afford everything they ever desired, but obstacles would arise.

The difficulty here refers to their life being constantly scrutinized by the media, camera lights, and fans. She went on to say that she wanted to keep a distance between the people’s judgments and criticism. And their personal lives were all on display on the screen.

Tashera met her husband when she was a child

We’ve known about their life after marriage, but their story has always felt like a movie scene. She mentioned going to a lounge with a friend in her memoir. The lady was only in her twenties at the time, so she only got a soda.
