Those viewers who watched the most recent episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta know that Karlie Redd found out some unexpected news about her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Lyfe Jennings. Karlie can be seen in the below videos from VH1 as the reality TV show’s cast mates view themselves in the episode.
Redd is also shown reacting to Lyfe pulling out a ring — apparently a diamond engagement ring — and the sight of it sends Karlie falling flat to the floor outside in a beautiful setting, supposedly fainting from shock. Karlie and Lyfe had talked about rumors of Jennings being married, with Lyfe admitting that he told Karlie he “dealt with other females” until Redd and Lyfe found their relationship growing stronger. But is Lyfe actually married?
The above video, titled “Lyfe Jennings Shocks Karlie Redd To The Floor,” shows their conversation about the whole marriage controversy.
“When Karlie Redd confronts Lyfe Jennings about being married, he does the unexpected and pulls out a ring.”
Within the video, Lyfe claims that Karlie misread the claims of Jennings being married to another woman. It was all a question of question marks, ellipses, and wording. According to Fashion Style , a woman with an Instagram account titled “Officially Mrs. Jennings” wrote that she would make a better wife for Lyfe than Karlie would.
“Married? No…better for Lyfe than Karlie? Yes…”
Apparently, Karlie got wind of that Instagram photo and reposted it, with Redd wishing the woman a “Happy Side Chick Valentine’s Day, boo.” While back then Karlie was bragging about the ring that Lyfe gave her, more recent videos make it appear as though Red and Jennings are not engaged or married.
“‘Married? No…better for Lyfe than….’ Me?? KARLIE? Definitely!! Who got the ring though? Keep my name out of your MOUTH!”
Karlie received another “world class” gift from Jennings — a gift that the rapper says he regrets giving Karlie, as seen in the below V-103 interview with Lyfe.

With reality TV, it’s sometimes hard to tell where the lines between reality and fantasy blur. Whether or not Karlie and Lyfe actually dated, or if the duo found themselves as the actress and actor playing out a reality TV engagement or marriage storyline isn’t known.
What can be seen is the moment that Jessica Dime told Karlie that Lyfe was married, as rumored by the blogs. Redd waited to confront Lyfe, with the duo having a calm conversation that involved more honesty than might be usually seen when a couple discusses cheating accusations and rumored marriages.
Lyfe asked Karlie about rumors of Redd messing around with Scrapp DeLeon. Redd came somewhat clean about seeing Scrapp before he went to prison. As a result, Lyfe teased Karlie about her “preschool” relationship with the younger man.
Meanwhile, Karlie’s focus wasn’t merely on Lyfe through the whole episode. Redd attended a comedy show, with Tony Rock calling her out from the stage. Rock told the audience that he went way back with Karlie. Redd confirmed that she knew Chris Rock’s brother from the days of old, when Karlie and Tony would go on auditions for TV and movie roles and run into one another in Los Angeles.

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta will air the next episode on Monday, wherein viewers will learn the status of Redd’s engagement to Lyfe. As seen in the top photo above, Torrei Hart, Karlie, and Miles Brock attended the “Shades of Eden” party at a private mansion in Los Angeles, California.
