Personal Life 

Chavis is a mother of two children—daughter Shai Moss from her relationship with Bow Wow and a son, Hendrix Wilburn, from her past affair with rapper Future.

Chavis and Bow Wow

Chavis was rapper Bow Wow, real name Shad Gregory Moss’s first reported love interest. The couple began dating in March 2010 and gained the limelight for their relationship. The duo then welcomed their first child, Shai Moss, on 27 April 27, 2011, after he surprised the fans with the good news on his website.

However, they split up in 2013 because of personal reasons. After that, they dated separate partners at the same time before reuniting in 2016. Eventually, they parted ways in 2017. During the breakup, Chavis dated Bu Thai in April 2016, and Bow Wow dated Erica Mena, an American model, reportedly the reason for their split. Soon after that, Bow Wow drew a lot of media coverage for his engagement news with Mena. 

However, things didn’t go well for the newly engaged couple, and rumors soon circulated that they had called it quits. Mena accused Bow Wow of being an “abuser” and having extramarital affairs with his ex-girlfriend during their relationship. 

Furthermore, Mena also claimed that Chavis virtually stalked her to call off their relationship. On the other hand, Bow Wow said that he broke up with Mena just to put an end to the ongoing feud and keep his daughter Shai out of trouble.

Chavis and Future

She began dating Future in 2017. Months later, Chavis became pregnant with her second child (and Future’s fifth) with her then-boyfriend Future. The duo welcomed their first child together, Hendrix, in December 2018. Sadly, they broke up a month later.

Future, who had six children with five different women at the time of Hendrix’s birth, accepted his son but soon moved on from Chavis. He also attended her baby shower with his new girlfriend, which strained their relationship.

Chavis revealed in her YouTube channel in February 2020 that having a second child with yet another prominent rapper sparked a barrage of criticism and slander. “Oh, she’s a gold digger, or she’s just having these babies to secure a bag. I always have worked since I was 15 years old. I don’t know what it’s like to just not do anything.”

Since then, Chavis and Future have moved on with their respective lives, with Future dating Steve Harvey’s stepdaughter, model Lori Harvey. The dancer acknowledged she has made mistakes in her life and is adamant that her children will learn from her mistakes. She said, “It’s taking all of the things I’m not proud of (...) and making sure my children are aware and know not to do those things or make certain mistakes.”

Postpartum Depression 

Chavis has opened up about her struggle to regain her figure since Hendrix’s birth, as well as her own battle with postpartum depression. She also reached out to other women who are unexpectedly dealing with postnatal depression.

Chavis admitted her children are her top priority, and she has never regretted a moment since bringing them into her life, regardless of the result of her relationship with their fathers.
