It looks like Juelz Santana is hoping to reconcile with his estranged wife, Kimbella Vanderhee. More than a month after she announced her single status, the rapper took to Instagram with short-sweet notes for the Love & Hip-Hop New York alum.
Santana posted the love tributes on Valentine’s Day. The first post included four photos of Kimbella in what looks like a wedding dress. After dating for about a decade, they married in January 2019.
“Till…HAPPY LOVE DAY…I LOVE U FOREVER,” Juelz wrote.
The second post was a slideshow of photos from Santana’s proposal to Kimbella in November 2018. He popped the question at the Apollo Theater during an album promotion performance for The Diplomats.
“I KNOW LOVING ME IS HARD…BUT U THE ONLY 1 I WANT 4 THE JOB…HAPPY LOVE DAY. #US #FOREVER,” Juelz wrote in his caption.
Meanwhile, Kimbella still has her ‘single’ announcement posted on her Instagram and pinned to the top of her Twitter page. She does not follow Juelz on Instagram, though he follows her, and, as of Friday, has not liked or commented on either of his posts.
Following her bare cheeks ‘single’ post, Kimbella also shared related messages to her Insta Story, including a post about ‘dating a narcissist.’ A Twitter gossip account, The Info Spot, claimed Juelz also posted a message to his Insta Story amid Kimbella’s announcement, saying, “lord knows I try.”
According to Vibe, Kimbella also doubled down on their breakup and even shed light on possible reasons behind their split.
She reportedly shared movie clips and wrote:
“Arguing 24/7 because his feelings were all that mattered. Begging him to change so we could make it work. Feeling numb because he made you feel like the problem. Watching him mess up again when he promised he’d change.”
Kimbella reportedly added:
“Feeling alone after he lied the whole relationship. Knowing it’s time to give up even though you love him. Figuring out how you’re going to fix yourself after he dragged you down.”
Juelz and Kimbella share a blended family. They have three children together, Juelz Santa James, Bella Monroe James, and Santana James, and each have one son from previous relationships.
