You can catch a famous rapper and a retired NFL player on SWV x XSCAPE: The Queens Of R&B.
You know the ladies of SWV and XSCAPE as stars belting out hits onstage in front of thousands of screaming fans, but we’re now getting a look at their busy and often complicated personal lives in Bravo’s new limited series SWV & XSCAPE: The Queens of R&B.
Behind the singers are their husbands and children — and they all describe life at home as a top priority. These family members often pop up in the show, but who are they? Here's what to know about the SWV and XSCAPE group members' husbands.
Who Is LaTocha Scott-Bivens' Husband, Rocky Bivens?
LaTocha Scott-Bivens and her husband, Rocky Bivens, have been together for 27 years, the singer revealed, adding they were introduced by her fellow XSCAPE member Kandi Burruss while on tour.
In the series, we meet Rocky as he and the couple’s son, Jamon, age 24, are playing basketball in the driveway of their home.
“I did break up with my boyfriend, but I will say this, Rocky actually approached him in rehearsal one day and was like ‘I’m not sleeping with her, but I want her to be my girl,’” LaTocha said in the premiere episode. “You can leave rehearsal now because she’s going to be my girl.”

Rocky got his start working in security for music artists, according to his LinkedIn. He now describes himself as the founder and CEO of Biv Global Management, an “entertainment company that represents elite clientele in Film, Television, Music, and Fashion."
Together, the two have a 24-year-old son named Jamon.
Who Is Tiny Harris' Husband, T.I.?
There’s nothing subtle about Tameka “Tiny” Harris' love for her husband, as she displays a necklace in her SWV x XSCAPE confessionals that proudly states: “Mrs. Harris.”
Tiny, a member of XSCAPE, has been in a romantic relationship with rapper Clifford Harris Jr., better known as T.I., for 21 years. T.I. has been nominated for 19 Grammy Awards, and brought home a win three times, according to the Grammy website.
While the two have had their issues over the years — Tiny even filed for divorce from T.I. in Dec. 2016, according to PEOPLE — they have made it work, with Tiny describing her happiness with her family in the show's premiere episode.
“I just love being with my kids and my family,” Tiny said. “It’s a job trying to balance being a mom and a career and having a husband, especially having a career and a husband.”
The couple have three children — King, Major, and Heiress — together, although they raise a blended family of seven kids. Tiny shares Zonnique with Zonnie “Zeboe” Pullins, while T.I. shares Messiah and Domani with ex Lashon Dixon and Deyjah with his ex Niko.
Tiny revealed in the premiere four of the children are now grown and out of the house.
Who Is Tamika Scott's Husband, Darnell Winston?
Where you find XSCAPE's Tamika Scott, her husband, Darnell Winston, isn’t far behind — literally.
“We have a Kevin Costner/Whitney Houston bodyguard-type of relationship. You know, that’s how we met,” Tamika said in the premiere of Darnell, who does executive protection for clients like New Edition.
Tamika revealed she met her husband when he was the executive protector for Tyler Perry. She had been working with Perry on a production when she and Darnell just clicked. At first, they were best friends, but eventually it turned into something more.
“Nothing sexual, we never looked at each other like that, until one day I was like I think I love him,” Tamika said during the show.
The couple has three daughters, Niyah, O’Shun, and Princess Armani.
Who Is Kandi Burruss' Husband, Todd Tucker?
Kandi Burruss' husband is a familiar sight for Bravo fans, as the two famously met during filming The Real Housewives of Atlanta and even had their wedding air in a Bravo docu-series, Kandi’s Wedding.
The XSCAPE member has two children with Todd Tucker: Ace, 6, and Blaze, 3.
“Todd is definitely the boss in our relationship,” Kandi said during the premiere. “It’s not like he bosses me around, but I do let him take the lead on most things.”
Todd first became interested in Kandi while they were both in South Africa for a Real Housewives of Atlanta trip. Todd was working in production at the time.
“I was trying to play it cool in Africa as it’s against the rules to cross the line with the talent,” Todd told Bravo back in 2014. “In production that’s a big NO NO…I loved her smile, she had a great butt! She seemed very humble and genuine.”
Kandi and Todd have expanded her business empire during their marriage, including opening the Old Lady Gang restaurant, which was featured in Bravo’s Kandi & The Gang.
Who Is Tamara “Taj” Johnson-George's Husband Eddie George?
Tamara “Taj” Johnson-George of SWV may have started out with her group in Brooklyn, but she now lives in the capitol of country music, thanks to her husband.
“It if wasn’t for Eddie, I doubt my life would have ended up in Nashville,” Taj said on the show. “But you follow your heart, honey, and I followed my heart right to Nashville. Planted roots, had a baby, built a life — yes, Nashville’s home now.”
Taj has been married to former NFL running back Eddie George since 2004. Eddie has had an incredible football career. He won the Heisman Trophy with Ohio State University in 1995, leaving the Buckeyes as second in school history for career rushing yards. He was drafted by the then-Houston Oilers in the first round of the 1996 NFL draft, then the franchise moved from Houston to Tennessee in 1997, changing its name to Titans in 1999.
Eddie became only the second NFL running back to rush for 10,000 yards while never missing a start through 2003, according to The Titans. He was the Titans' all-time leading rusher as of Dec. 2010, reported NFL.com.
Eddie and Taj share a 17-year-old son, Eriq, who is in his senior year of high school.
Who Are Lelee Lyons' Children?
We also get a glimpse of SWV’s Leanne “Lelee” Lyons and Cheryl “Coko” Gamble’s children during SWV & XSCAPE: The Queens of R&B.
Lelee describes moving to Atlanta from New York with her two children in 1996 in the series' premiere episode. She also detailed the difficulty of getting pregnant so young while balancing her singing dreams.
“I knew I wanted to be a singer at about age 11 watching Star Search, but I got pregnant at 15,” Lelee said during the show. “Back then you couldn’t work full-time at 15, so I had to get two part-time jobs. At night, my mom would babysit my daughter and I would go in the studio and record with the girls. And back then we were working on our demo.”
She has a daughter, Margaret, and a son, Khiry.
Who Are Coko Gamble's Children?
Coko’s children also have music in their blood like their mother.
When SWV was working on its second album, Coko got pregnant with her first child, giving birth to son Jazz in 1995, whom she shares with Ishmael Butler of the rap trio Digable Planets, according to Essence.
Coko describes Jazz on the show as an “emo rapper and he’s amazing.” Jazz goes by the rapper name Lil’ Tracy.
She also welcomed a son named Jalen with Mike Clemons, a drummer and member of the gospel group Israel & New Breed. The two divorced in 2018 after 12 years of marriage.
“Jalen is my fabulous youngest son,” Coko said on the show. “He just decided out of the clear blue sky he wants to sing. I knew he had a voice, but I didn’t think that he would ever want to do something like that professionally because we had already decided for him to be a dentist.”
Hey, talent runs in the family!
SWV & XSCAPE: The Queens of R&B premieres on Bravo on Sunday, March 5 at 9:30/8:30c.
