Ellis went to Hofstra University alongside her future husband, Devale. 

Meeting Devale and Being Parents

Khadeen and Devale have known each other since childhood. They attended the same elementary school, lived five blocks from each other, and went to rival high schools. 

In a 2020 interview with Essence Magazine, Devale revealed that their eventual meeting was when he was in his final year of high school and she was a freshman in college. 

He recounted that Khadeen was hosting a banquet in his high school on 2 August, and after the event, they exchanged numbers. After that, however, they lost touch because she was away from reach because of her pageant obligations. 

Then, Devale joined Hofstra for college. He also assumed he had lost any chance with Khadeen, but she contacted him.

"As a freshman at Hofstra, I considered Khadeen a loss, and then out of nowhere I received a phone call from her that October. Her pageant director asked her to make an appearance at the Light The Night walk for Cancer the next day on campus. We finally connected and have been inseparable ever since. That spring, Khadeen transferred into Hofstra, and our love story began," Devale narrated to the Essence. 

They made it official in 2002 and stayed in a relationship for eight years. They exchanged vows on 5 July 2010 and had three children. 

In the interview, Devale added that their friendship and understanding kept them together for over 15 years. 

"The glue that makes our love stick is an unyielding work ethic and a commitment to being friends first with a desire to see the other win in life….and we just find a way to laugh at EVERYTHING!," he confessed. 

Furthermore, she also said that her strong relationship did not happen overnight, but time managed to keep them together. "Time! We've grown from childhood through adulthood and we did it together. We've developed as a couple allowing each other to grow as individuals without judgment and learned to embrace change as a positive and a necessity in life," adding up in the interview.
