The internet has been exploding over the relationship between The Real co-host Jeannie Mai and rapper Jeezy. Though the two had been dating quietly for around a year, the pair finally made their relationship “Instagram official” this past August, as reported by The Inquisitr .
Despite all the secrecy, the reveal was definitely worth the wait, as Jeannie melted hearts talking about her beau. She discussed the sweet details of their relationship during a segment of The Real which can be viewed on YouTube .
In the clip, Jeannie confessed that the two went out on a sushi date after meeting on the show.
“Four hours later, we shut down the sushi restaurant. We had the most amazing deep talk about our greatest lessons in life, our greatest mistakes; it was super vulnerable,” she explained.
Their fantastic first date was only a harbinger of an even better relationship. Jeannie discussed how this was the first time her “flaws” were not only not criticized, but actually appreciated by another.
“What’s crazy is that the things that I’ve been criticized for my whole life and in my past relationships — ‘Jeannie, you’re too deep; you think about things too much — like why’s everything gotta have a purpose?’” she began.
“I’m not one for small talk or small conversations. I wanna know, ‘Why do you think the way you do? What brought you to look at things the way you do? Who are you? Who’s important to you?’ And I found my equal,” she sweetly concluded.
It isn’t just on television where the two are proclaiming their love. The couple have also taken to Instagram, posting pictures so adorable that they are the epitome of couple goals.
Here are four pictures that fans are going wild over.

The first hint of their romance came from Malika Haqq, Khloé Kardashian’s bff. Malika posted a picture of a group of friends hanging out, and Jeannie and Jezzy were among them. Jeannie is clearly dressed to impress her man, with a sparkling, skin-baring crop top. The positions of the pair also suggest that they had just been sitting next to each other.
