How Shakur Stevenson and Young Lyric met
The pair went public with their relationship on Instagram in December 2020 but had known each other earlier through music industry connections. Young Lyric has described meeting Stevenson while working on a musical project connected to Rap-A-Lot and James Prince, which brought them into the same creative circle.
Engagement and the ring in the ring
In 2022 Stevenson surprised Lyric by proposing after his unanimous decision win over Oscar Valdez. He knelt in the ring following the victory, and Lyric accepted — a moment she celebrated on social media.
Family life: daughter Leilani
The couple welcomed their daughter, Leilani Asha Stevenson, in 2021. Young Lyric announced her pregnancy publicly in October 2021 and later explained that becoming a mother led her to take a hiatus from music to focus on family life.

As Shakur Stevenson prepares to face Teofimo Lopez for the WBO world title at Madison Square Garden, attention has returned to his life outside the ring. Young Lyric is expected to be among those supporting him as he competes in the super lightweight division.
