Brittany Renner shocked the BET Awards press with a bombshell—she secretly married Kevin Gates in April and filed for divorce by the end of May. Now, the “Basketball Wives” star is opening up about her short-lived marriage, spiritual reset, and what’s really going on in her life behind the scenes.
💍 Brittany Renner & Kevin Gates: Married in April, Divorced by May
Brittany Renner just pulled a “plot twist” that left jaws on the carpet at the 2025 BET Awards.
The “Basketball Wives” Season 12 star casually revealed during an interview with Real 92.3 that she secretly married Kevin Gates on April 6—and was divorced by May 28. Yep, a 52-day marriage.
But don’t get it twisted.
According to Brittany, there’s still a 90-day waiting period under Islamic law that allows time for reflection, reconciliation, and even a pregnancy check-in.
She shared, “What I will say is that Islam has made my life a lot easier… I followed my heart, and that’s more than what most people can say in this world.”
🧕🏽 Brittany Renner’s Spiritual Shift
A lot has changed for Brittany over the past year.
After going viral for telling Shannon Sharpe she’d slept with 35 men, she converted to Islam and began what she calls a deep internal transformation.
Once labeled a “sniper” for her unapologetic dating habits, the Brittany we’re seeing now is far more grounded and spiritually aware.
After converting to Islam, in September 2024, Brittany described her life as “incredibly uncertain,” adding that she has “no idea where I’m going to live or how I’m going to provide for my son.”
But Brittany’s keeping the faith: “Allah has moved mountains for me before. This will be no different.”
🏚️ Outgrowing the Facade
Brittany made it clear—she’s done with the clout-chasing.
Using an “Alice in Wonderland” reference, she compared herself to Alice after growing too big for her house.
“The facade is fading, alhamdulillah…Take it away. It served no purpose here.”
And in true Brittany fashion, she kept it all the way real: “I don’t want a penny more than I’m meant to have. I can do a lot with a little.”
