Kelly Rowland’s husband, Tim Weatherspoon, became her “best friend” after their relationship went from platonic to something more. Rowland shared that not having her father in her early life shaped her marriage.
Rowland rose to prominence in the 1990s as a singer in Destiny’s Child. With hits like “Cater 2 U” and “Say My Name,” the girl group became an award-winning success.
After the members of Destiny’s Child decided to go their separate ways, Rowland kick-started her solo music and acting career. During this time, a management switch led Rowland to meet her future husband. While she is a well-known musician, Weatherspoon opted to stay out of the limelight.
Who Is Kelly Rowland’s Husband, Tim Weatherspoon?
Weatherspoon was born on January 7, 1974. He is a talent manager and a producer in the music industry. During her time in Destiny’s Child and after leaving the girl group, Matthew Knowles, Beyoncé’s father, managed Rowland.
However, in 2009, Weatherspoon took over as Rowland’s manager until their relationship went from professional to romantic. According to reports, Weatherspoon’s career in the music industry has afforded him an estimated net worth of twelve million dollars.
And with over eighty thousand followers on Instagram at the time of writing, Weatherspoon often uses his platform to share his activism. On August and September 24, 2021, he honored the late Breonna Taylor, who police officers fatally shot.
In November 2019, Rowland and Weatherspoon dressed in all black as they posed for a Black Panther-themed event. And in 2019, he and his wife rented out movie theatres in Rowland’s hometown to promote the screening of “Queen and Slim.”
Weatherspoon is his wife’s biggest supporter, and Rowland regularly appears on her husband’s feed. In November 2019, he did a little promotion work for Rowland’s collaboration with Fabletics, and in 2021 they walked the carpet hand-in-hand at the premiere for “The Harder They Fall.”
How Long Have Kelly Rowland and Tim Weatherspoon Been Together?
Rowland and Weatherspoon reportedly began dating in 2011. In 2017, Rowland was promoting “Love by the 10th Date,” a movie about waiting until the 10th date to decide your feelings about a potential suitor, when Rowland revealed that was not the case for her and Weatherspoon.
Rowland said Weatherspoon knew he wanted to marry her after the first date. She said that she realized he was the one on the third date. Rowland remembered feeling nervous after they had gone out.
She shared in complete honesty to an interviewer at the premiere of “Love by the 10th Date” that she felt like she had met her future husband after their third date. Rowland said: “He said he knew [he was in love] by the first date. I knew the third date. I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ I got nervous, to be completely honest, because I was like, this feels like my husband.”
In 2013, Rowland appeared on “The Queen Latifah Show” and announced her engagement. “He put a ring on it,” she said as she held up her hand to flaunt her diamond ring. Weatherspoon and Rowland chose to keep their relationship “very low for years.”
They planned their marriage ceremony in the same vain. When detailing the special moment, Rowland said Weatherspoon chose to forgo all the proposal theatrics and asked for her hand in marriage via Skype.
She was in Bulgaria, and they were miles apart. Rowland recalled it being late at night, and as they stared into each other’s eyes, she said he asked, and saying ‘yes’ could not have been easier.
Rowland and Weatherspoon tied the knot in 2014. Their destination wedding took place in Costa Rica. The public caught wind of the secret wedding after paparazzi photographed their guests touching down in Latin America. Rowland was thirty-three when she said ‘I do’ on the tropical island.
They had two private villas for their small guest list of thirty and decided not to have bridesmaids and groomsmen. Rowland’s former Destiny’s Child bandmates Beyoncé and Michelle Williams were in attendance, and Solange and her date.
The wedding occurred after Solange and Jay Z’s highly publicized falling out in an elevator. The rapper was not in attendance, and neither was his daughter. A source close to Weatherspoon and Rowland said the couple was happy and enjoyed their weekend getaway before returning to reality. When speaking about her marriage, Rowland said:
Six years after their island wedding, Rowland shared her sexy tips for keeping the romance alive in her marriage. From surprise rendezvous in the middle of the night to the occasional role-play, Rowland expressed that spicing things up in the bedroom was a must.
The singer said the foundation of their relationship was having fun. They had fun when they first began dating and intended to do so in the future. Weatherspoon and Rowland turned to therapy outside the bedroom to maintain a healthy marriage.
Therapy was a means for them to keep their communication on track. As her best friend, Rowland said that there was nothing she and Weatherspoon could not discuss. Whenever Rowland would ask older couples about the challenges of a long-term marriage, Rowland learned that it was communication and money.
Before getting married, Rowland said she was indifferent to getting a divorce if things did not work out. But after meeting a “good man,” she realized divorce was not an option for her and her relationship.
Rowland grew up without her father in the picture, as her mother left him due to his heavy drinking. After unpacking “the real stuff that causes the pain,” she found support and unconditional love in Weatherspoon. She said:
“Above anything, we’ve got faith, and we’ve got each other. Marriage means a lot to me. It’s something that I hold very sacred.”
How Many Kids Do Kelly Rowland and Tim Weatherspoon Have?
Shortly after getting married, Weatherspoon and Rowland welcomed their firstborn son, Titan Jewell Weatherspoon, on November 4. A source close to the couple said their son was happy and healthy.
Weatherspoon enjoyed the honor of picking the name for his son. Rowland attended birthing classes to prepare for motherhood and was amazed by “what the body does naturally.”
On January 21, 2021, Rowland and Weatherspoon welcomed their second son, Noah Jon Weatherspoon. Rowland shared the news on Instagram, and the picture of her two children received over a million likes at the time of publication.
While on the “Jennifer Hudson Show,” Rowland spoke about her two boys. After sharing how “obsessed” she was with her sons, Rowland shared that the two boys were “complete opposites.” She said:
“Noah walks into a room, and he commands it. Titan… he is that guy, very reserved.”
Rowland announced that she was expecting her second child during a cover shoot for Women’s Health. After discussing growing their family, Rowland fell pregnant during the covid-19 pandemic and was hesitant to share the news given America’s social climate.
While she was grateful for her pregnancy, Rowland spoke about how unprepared she felt when raising her eldest son during the Black Lives Matter movement. She took it one step at a time. Other than a cartoon special about racism, Rowland monitored what she exposed to her eldest son. Whenever he was in the room, she turned off the news.
