For almost twenty years, we have watched Emily Bustamante — most popularly known as Emily B — and Fabolous’s relationship blossom into something beautiful. From dating to welcoming three children together, these two have been through it all. But are Emily B and Fabulous still together? Fans have questions.
Are Emily B and Fabulous still together?
Rumors about Emily B and Fab’s breakup started circulating in 2022, but nothing has been confirmed from either party. The two have been keeping a tight grip on handling their issues in private.
In a clip reposted by The Shade Room in July 2024, Emily B addressed her relationship with her longtime fiancé.
“Ya’ll need to stop asking about Fab. Oh my god. I know you’ll want all the tea, but me and Fab are good, amazing. There’s no tea,” she said.
@theshaderoom #EmilyB hopped on live and answered a few questions from her commenters. She put speculations to rest and confirms that she is single and no longer in a relationship with #Fabolous. However, she said that they’re “good.” ????:(@gettyimages) #fyp #blacktiktok #viral #TheShadeRoom #foryoupage ♬ original sound – The Shade Room
It’s still unclear whether the two are still an item, especially given the series of events that led up to their alleged split. There has been a lot of drama between the couple over the years, including allegations of domestic abuse. Let’s get into a breakdown of Emily B and Fabolous’s relationship timeline.
Here’s a look at Emily B and Fab’s relationship timeline.
Emily B is the mother of Fabolous’s three children, Johan, Jonas, and Journey Isabella, along with Fab’s stepdaughter, Taina Williams. The two started dating in 2001 and were engaged two months after having their second child, Jonas, in 2015. Some outlets suggest the two tied the knot in October 2018, but we can not deny or confirm this. From there, things began to take a slight turn for the couple.
In 2019, Emily B appeared on the reality TV series Love & Hip-Hop: New York. Many people knew her from the show, but she was a fashion expert and shoe designer long before she met Fab. Her shoe line, Emily B, was supported by Ziginy. On LAHH, she shared her business ventures, however, the show also showed the ugliness of her relationship with Fabulous.
Emily B and Fabulous’s relationship was marked by allegations of domestic violence.
The same year that Emily B joined the cast of LAHH, she alleged that Fab knocked out two of her teeth by brutally punching her seven times. Fabolous later turned himself in to authorities and struck a plea deal in the case. It seems as though the two were still together during that time.
In 2022, new articles flooded timelines when Taina took to social media that Fabolous was not taking care of his then-two-year-old child. Taina expressed heavy feelings about his fathering. Under his happy birthday post to Journey (the child in question), she stated that he was not taking care of his daughter and only cared about his two sons.

After almost two years, Fabolous responded to Taina’s accusations. In his song, “Selfish Freestyle,” which dropped in January 2024, he stated his truth.
“You know what’s selfish? / The confidence of a snitch / Luck is a lady, but karma is always a b***h / Selfishness that makes you comment under your pic / When he took care of you and your mama since you were six / Who’s selfish? / Maybe we all are.”
After so many rumors and public disrespect, I think it may be safe to say that they are living separate lives. But who knows, I could be wrong. All that matters is that the children are healthy and happy.
