Court Documents Have Detailed a Tumultuous Relationship, Reports Say

 

Jenkins and Mai got married “in an intimate ceremony at their home in Atlanta,” Georgia, on March 27, 2021, after COVID dashed their hopes of a destination wedding, Vogue reported at the time. They welcomed Monaco in January 2022. Jenkins filed for divorce in September 2023.

Since Jenkins filed for divorce, a number of allegations have been made by both sides. In April 2024, People reported that Mai accused Jenkins of domestic violence and child neglect, which he denied.

TMZ reported in May 2024 that Jenkins claimed Mai wanted a second child, and his refusal drove the “Dancing with the Stars” alum to make her allegations of abuse. Page Six reported on June 7 that Jenkins’ former girlfriend and the mother of his older daughter came to his defense in an affidavit.

“I’ve witnessed Jay be a devoted, caring, and present Father to our daughter and his oldest child [Jadarius Jenkins, 28],” she wrote in court documents, according to the outlet. “For almost four years, Jay’s eldest child lived with us and I was able to see their relationship grow every day. At no point was Jay ever physically, mentally or emotionally abusive to his children or I.”

Page Six reported in January that after Jenkins filed for divorce, Mai requested the couple’s prenuptial agreement not be enforced. The outlet noted Mai’s filing indicated she had not had enough time to review the prenup before she signed it.

She also claimed Jenkins only began negotiating with her on a prenup five days before their wedding. The “Dancing with the Stars” alum alleged the “compressed timeframe” raised “significant concerns about the adequacy and thoroughness of the due diligence process and each party’s ‘full and fair disclosure’ of their financial positions,” according to Page Six.

In the months since Jenkins initially filed for divorce, Page Six noted that Mai alleged Jenkins left firearms easily accessible to Monaco. The outlet reported in December 2023 that Jenkins alleged she was “gatekeeping” his access to their daughter. Mai also alleged Jenkins choked her and pushed her down the stairs at a hotel in April 2022, People reported.
