Inside Snoop Dogg’s 27-year marriage to high school sweetheart Shante Broadus
Snoop Dogg has nothing but praise for his wife of 27 years, Shante Broadus.
The 52-year-old rapper has been happily married to his childhood sweetheart since 1997 after they met at Long Beach’s Polytechnic High School.
Explaining why they are so compatible, Snoop said: “She understands me. She’s a great mother, a tremendous grandmother, an excellent wife and a great friend.
“She knows how to push all of my buttons to make me act a [expletive] fool or to make me act cool, and I love it,” he added to People.
Despite finding their ‘person’ in each other, their long-lasting union hasn’t gone without its ups and downs.
Snoop and Shante briefly split in 2004 before rekindling their relationship. To reaffirm their love to each other, they decided to renew their vows in 2008.

He said he felt like, “‘Some things I want you to be a part of some things I don’t want you to be a part of to protect you.’ But not knowing that she should have been there the whole way to protect [me].”
He continued: “You learn as time goes by, ‘OK, you are in control. You run this, you run that, because I make bad decisions.’ The good to my bad is her.”
Praising his wife for teaching him “patience”, Snoop added: “Over the years she’s grown with me to know what I do and how I do it and to give me the space to do it.
