Bow Wow rapper, actor, and swoon-inducer dropped his walls and gave fans a peek into his dating life while appearing on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast. And yes, the tea is burning hot: Not only is he dating Jade Pinkett (yep, Jada Pinkett Smith’s niece), but he’s actively pondering what forever might entail.
The conversation began with a laugh when Sharpe asked about the relationship, taking Bow Wow by surprise. “I never even thought you knew!” he laughed, expressing disbelief his low-key romance had appeared on the host’s radar.
And though the two have largely flown under the tabloid radar, Bow Wow didn’t hesitate to admit the extent of his bond with Jade. “Me and her, we’ve had these talks,” he said, referring to the marriage conversation. “I don’t have anything against anything, but if I get to that, I need to make sure I’m right, assuming it, and I’m not in a rush.”
Bow Wow doesn’t mean emotionally ready or a ring picked out at Jared’s. He is talking about alignment on a spiritual plane. “And that’s not just a commitment that I make to her; that’s a commitment that I make to God. And I don’t do play with stuff like that.”
In an industry that is often a whirlwind of its many romances and high-profile breakups, it’s refreshing to hear Bow Wow rap from his heart. He’s not shopping for tuxes, nor is he planning a big wedding bash just yet, but the actor made one thing clear: This ain’t no fling. “I don’t want to discuss marriage or think about it right now,” he said. For now, he and Jade are Present, Soaking they’re traveling, living life, and letting love blossom at its own pace.
For those wondering how long that behind-the-scenes love affair has been happening, Bow Wow and Jade have a backstory that predates the viral Twitter spat. Fans were first led to believe this in January 2025 when Bow Wow shared a cuddly New Year’s photo of them on his Instagram Stories. Jade’s caption? “New Year, Year 2 for the books” indicates that the couple has been together for at least two years.
During the interview, one thing was obvious: Bow Wow’s grown-up approach to love and relationships is about intention and realness. He won’t make a splashy headline or rush to the altar to get on display for any reason. It’s about doing it right on his terms when the mood strikes him, and it feels all the more sacred.
So, while the wedding bells are not ringing yet, don’t rule them out. With heartfelt conversations off-camera and genuine respect at its core, Bow Wow and Jade Pinkett might just be working on something real.
