She's 47 and fairly progressive about maternal health.

She gave an award acceptance speech for BUST magazine's 25th-anniversary party earlier this year, and according to a Vanity Fair account, the first thing she said was: “I’m on my period. Right now, I got a fuckin’ pouch full of blood, and I’m so very, very honored and happy to be here.”

She's always been pro-health. So, I wouldn't be shocked if she isn't against being with child (or twin children) at nearly 50. She is a doula and has trained to become a certified midwife.

As mentioned in Kelefa Sanneh's amazing New Yorker profile back in 2016, she has even said verbatim on this here site: "I LOVE CHILDREN AND I WILL HAVE AS MANY AS GOD WILL GIVE ME."

This same article also mentioned that she was dating Carl Jones, a producer or EP on the Boondocks, Black Dynamite and In the Flow with Affion Crockett projects. I did not consider they had broken up until her and Ish started going at it on the 'gram.
