Shawntae Harris is best known by her stage name, Da Brat. She’s a rap artist, writer, television and radio personality, music executive, television producer, and actress.

Who is Da Brat’s wife?
Da Brat has been seen in Dr. Jackie’s office with her wife Jessica “Judy” Dupart. They were married on February 2, 2022.
Jessica is the CEO of Kaleidoscope Hair Products. The couple made television history as the first LGBTQ+ female power couple on television on WETV’s Brat Loves Judy. After they tied the knot, they joked about starting a family, in addition to the three kids that Jessica already had prior to their relationship. The decision for Da Brat to carry their child came after Jessica suffered major health complications after her egg retrieval procedure. Da Brat had to undergo surgery to remove fibroids and polyps prior to her embryo transfer procedure. She suffered a miscarriage, but since they had several of Jessica’s eggs left, they were able to conceive. Da Brat is 49 years old and is undergoing what Dr. Jackie has referred to on Married to Medicine as a “high risk” pregnancy because of her age. Dr. Jackie has been staying on top of her about eating right and getting enough rest.
