Unfortunately, Andre died in 2009 of drug abuse, precisely morphine, and heroin overdose. It was his mother who discovered the unconscious body of the 20-year-old in their home in Woodland Hills, CA.

Marcel Young

After parting ways with Jenita Porter, Dr Dre began dating American songwriter and singer Michel’le Toussanthad with whom he worked at Ruthless and Death Row Records. The duo soon welcomed a son whom they named Marcel Young. Marcel who is Dre’s fifth child and third son was born in 1991. Marcel keeps a low profile and is rarely seen.

Michel’le and Dre’s relationship, however, ended on a bad note. Many years after their split, Michel’le publicly released claims that Dr Dre abused her physically all through the time they were together.

Nicole Threatt, born on January 1, 1970, is an American legal practitioner. She, however, ceased practicing her profession following her marriage to the famous and wealthy Dr Dre. As earlier mentioned, Nicole married Dr Dre in 1996.

Worthy of note is the fact that Threatt’s marriage to Dr Dre is her second. She was married to now-retired NBA star, Sedale Threatt. Interestingly, Nicole met Dre while still married to Threatt and the story about her leaving Threatt for Dre is no secret at all.

This is because Dre made very open and direct moves to snatch her from her then-husband and he succeeded! He had written her a letter wherein he told her point-blank to abandon her husband and come over to him, and she did. Nicole eventually divorced Sedale Threatt in 1995 and married Dr Dre the next year.

It is apparent that Dr Dre finally found love in Nicole Threatt. Completely different from what has been obtainable in his romantic life, Dre was with Nicole for over two decades.

Among the secrets of their lasting relationship is the couple’s ability to keep their private matters away from the media. In addition to her two biological kids with Dre, Nicole Threatt is a stepmother to the rapper’s five other confirmed children. She had no child with her first husband.

The couple divorced in 2021 with a $100 million settlement
