Fans of Michel’le that like to know her relationship status and if she is currently married to someone. Unfortunately, she is not engaged or married to anyone as her last known relationship was with Suge Knight which ended 6 years after their marriage (2005).
Relationship Timeline
Michel’le first met Dr. Dre at 16, working on the song “Turn Off the Lights” for World Class Wreckin’ Cru. They started dating, and despite their age difference, became engaged and had a son named “Marcel Young” in 1991.
However, their relationship turned tumultuous due to Dre’s drinking, infidelity, and abusive behavior. Michel’le endured physical abuse, including a broken nose and a near-fatal incident when Dre shot at her during an argument but he missed by some inches.
Struggling with Dre’s violent behavior, Michel’le resorted to self-medication with pills and alcohol. The breaking point came when she discovered Dre’s engagement to another woman. Their time together lasted for 9 years (1987-1996).
Suge Knight intervened, helping her seek rehabilitation. In 1999, Michel’le married Suge while he was in prison but later divorced due to the revelation that Suge was still married to his ex-wife Sharitha.
The marriage included a violent incident where Suge dislocated Michel’le’s jaw. They have a daughter named Bailei Knight, who was born on November 29, 2002. Michel’le time with Suge Knight lasted for 6 years (1999-2005)
In 2015, amid criticism for omitting his abusive past in the film “Straight Outta Compton,” Dre issued a public apology. Michel’le doubted its sincerity, believing it was more about protecting Dre’s public image than a genuine apology to her.
