By Jasmine Grant · Updated December 6, 2020
Steven Jordan (aka Stevie J) and Faith Evans shocked the world after revealing they’d tied the knot in a shotgun wedding in Las Vegas last July. The producer/songwriter and the legendary R&B singer had been longtime friends in the music industry for years before becoming romantically involved. Although it took some convincing from Stevie’s side, their bond went from platonic to romantic in a flash. Although many folks had their doubts, it appears Stevie is hanging up is player hat and buckling down as a devoted family man.
This week, the Jordans will show us what it’s like to be newlyweds blending families when Love & Hip Hop Atlanta season 8 premieres. As expected, the entire cast is shocked (except Mimi) and have more questions than answers about this newfound love affair. As we wait on the edge of our seats, let’s take a look at Stevie J and Faith enjoying their journey as husband and wife.  
01
From Break Ups To Make Ups!
One year after initially breaking up, Stevie and Faith got hitched in Las Vegas on a whim in their hotel room. Neither of them headed to Sin City thinking they’d be saying ‘I do,’ but apparently Stevie was feeling the love and convinced Faith to make it a forever thing. Stevie confirmed their union in a of tweets referring to his bride by her new last name.

What About Your Friends?
Sources close to TMZ say their family and friends were initially upset by the news, feeling slighted that they were given a heads up. Eventually, everyone came around.

Keep The Faith
Although Stevie J and the Notorious B.I.G were close (Stevie is actually the godfather of Faith and Biggie’s son, Christopher Wallace, Jr.) Faith and Biggie say they believe he’d be cool with their relationship if he were alive today.

No Judgement Zone
During a promo video for Love & Hip Hop Atlanta season 8, Stevie says his wife doesn’t judge him over his relationship past. “Faith never looked at me as this sleazy persona. She knew my heart. She just believed that I was a good dude.” Awwww!!
