Success isn’t as sweet if you don’t have someone to share it with. Lucky for Gucci Mane, he gets to enjoy life with the one he loves – his wife and ride or die, Keyshia Ka’oir.
The rapper first noticed his future wifey in a magazine while he was incarcerated. Immediately upon release from prison, he called his manager to book her for his “911 Emergency” video. Eventually, life began imitating art when the couple started dating. Despite some bumps in the road, including Gucci’s brief stint in prison from 2014 to 2016, the couple has remained solid.
Now that the darker days are over, they’re living life to the fullest. In honor of their 10/17 wedding date, peep these 17 photos of Gucci Mane

Who’s That Girl?
Gucci was first intrigued by Keyshia when he saw her pictures in XXL back in 2010 while incarcerated. Upon his release, Gucci went on a hunt to find his future wifey. “He called [his manager] Amina from jail, and he was like, ‘Who is Keyshia Ka’oir?’ I want to meet this girl,’” Ka’oir told The Fader.

Love Of His Life
In his autobiography, Gucci Mane recalls being smitten by his wife. “Keyshia was stunning but it was more than that,” he writes. “I’d been with a lot of pretty girls. There was more to her. I may have first fell for her beauty, ogling her pictures while I was sitting in the clink, but I quickly began to appreciate her as a person.”
