"I am so proud of my baby, his movie 'Favorite Son' comes out in May. Please check it out. He gets to be all of this and more."

The two got engaged last year and are set for a white wedding. While supporting his career, Mdee announced last year she had quit music as it had driven her into alcoholism and depression.
