In April 2021, Don Jazzy revealed that he was once married when he was 20 years old but got divorced two years later. In his X post at the time, he disclosed that he was married to an American model named Michelle Jackson, but the union was short-lived due to his dedication to his music.
He wrote, “For so long, everyone keeps asking me, When am I getting married? Well, the truth is, almost 18 years ago, I was 20 and I got married to my best friend Michelle @yarnstaswitch, and it was beautiful. I loved love, and I loved marriage. Michelle is soooo beautiful inside and out, with such a soft heart. But then, me being so young and full of dreams, I went and messed it up because I was giving all my time to my music.”
He added, “Music became a priority instead of my family. We got divorced when I was 22, and it hurt. I am still very much in love with my music, and I wouldn’t want to marry another and mess it up again. So, I’m taking my time.”
