Eve Sets the Record Straight: “My Husband’s Not a Billionaire—But I’m Not Broke Either!”
Let’s talk soft life, self-work, and setting the record straight—because Eve just gave us a masterclass on all three.
In her latest appearance on Angie Martinez’s podcast IRL, hip-hop royalty Eve sat down for a raw, inspiring conversation that touched on motherhood, marriage, money—and myths about her billionaire boo.
You’ve seen the headlines: “Eve Married a Billionaire.” But the Let Me Blow Ya Mind rapper wants you to know the truth. Spoiler alert: He’s not a billionaire—and honestly, that’s not the point.
Angie kicked things off by asking Eve if she’s living the “soft life,” and the 46-year-old mom, wife, and rap legend kept it all the way real.
“I jokingly will say yes because I hate all these titles,” Eve said. “But I understand what it is.”
She then broke it down with the kind of self-awareness and honesty we love her for.
“In a way, yes. Because I worked on myself. Yes because I want to be an amazing mom and not carry my childhood sht into how I raise my kid. Yes because I want good relationships, and I love myself. I’ve done the fcking work.”
Let’s pause and applaud that.
Then came the myth-busting moment. As Angie praised Eve’s transatlantic love story with her husband Maximillion Cooper—British entrepreneur and founder of Gumball 3000—she referred to him as a billionaire. Eve, without missing a beat, set the record straight.
“I need to clear that up. He’s not a billionaire,” she said. “He ain’t broke—but I ain’t broke either. I’m not gonna be with a broke dude.”
And that’s on period.
Before she met Maximillion, Eve made it clear that she was already doing the work—personally, emotionally, and professionally. Her man didn’t make her, but he did make her better.
“Because I have him, it helped me do better work,” she explained. “He’s a good dude. I’m really lucky.”
Marriage, she added, isn’t always easy—but it’s worth it with the right person.
“Marriage is hard. But it’s great when you’re doing it with the right person.”
And how did she know he was that person?
“The moment I met him, I was like, ‘Who is he?’ in a way I never felt before. I wanted to know everything. I was fascinated.”
Maximillion’s quiet confidence stood out, especially coming from Eve’s past in the very flashy hip-hop scene.
“Especially coming from hip hop, everything is on show. I’m gonna show you everything and tell you everything I’m about to do for you,” she said with a laugh. “It was a quiet confidence where I was like ‘hmmm… mystery.’”
Whether it’s tackling generational trauma or dispelling media myths, Eve is that woman who walks the walk. She’s not just living the soft life—she’s living an authentic one.
And we’re so here for it.
