Ja Rule and Aisha Atkins

Ja Rule and Aisha Atkins were childhood sweethearts and fell in love at the young age of 14. The couple were married in 2001 and have three kids together.

As quoted by Ja Rule, “She was the new girl in school. I think the first time I saw her; she was getting off the bus. She was cute, but she tried to play me at first. Then she realized I was one of the cool guys at school, and got with the program.”
