Who Are Ludacris’ Wife & Kids?
Ludacris is married to the Gabonese model Eudoxie Mbouguiengue. The two lovebirds have been together since 2009. Ludacris has proposed to his 5-year-old sweetheart on the show. It was on a trip to Costa Rica, and Ludacris had Eudoxie look down on a field with the message “Eudoxie, will you marry me”. Eudoxie said she was overwhelmed and would later describe it on Instagram as the best day of her life with the love of her life. She said yes, and they were married on the same day, December 26, 2014.
Eudoxie Mbouguiengue-Bridges is a role model and is also at the forefront of women’s advocacy with her non-profit organization Unspoken Angels. The organization is committed to supporting victims of abuse, especially young women, and her passion for pursuing this agenda stems from her ugly experiences growing up in Gabon. They welcomed their only child so far – a daughter they called Cadence Gaëlle Bridges – into 2015.
Before his wife, Ludacris had been involved with other women. In August 2001 he had a daughter – Karma Bridges – with a lady whose name is not known but who was a lawyer from Atlanta. He also had another daughter with Tamika Fuller in 2013 when he was dating Eudoxie. Her name was Cai Bella Bridges.
