Rapper Rod Wave is private about his love life but he has two children with his girlfriend, Kelsey Dee Coleman. Let’s meet his partner and twins.
Rod Wave (born Rodarius Marcell Green) is an American rapper and singer. He is known for his strong voice and incorporation of hip-hop and R&B and has been recognized as a trailblazer of soul trap.
Rod Wave has named Kanye West as a huge influence that has continued to inspire his work. After Rod’s accident in early 2020, when he almost died, he found Kanye to be a kindred soul who had also been in an accident early in his career. Kanye spoke about it in his debut album, especially in the song “Through the Wire.” So as a homage, Rod Wave wrote about his near-death experience and titled the song “Through the Wire” as well.
Since Rod Wave’s rise to fame, some musicians who influenced him early on have asked to work with him, notably Kevin Gates and E-40. Rod has also claimed to be a fan of 2Pac, who he thinks was another great storyteller in the hip-hop world, using his music to send a message.
This theme of admiring storytellers in the music world comes up again in his admiration for Adele, who he says can portray her emotions in her lyrics and through her voice very well, specifically her pain.
About his personal life, he’s not particularly active on social media when compared to other musicians, only really liking and posting to his YouTube account. Until at least April 2020, he still didn’t have a TikTok account, the platform that contributed most to his rise to fame.
Speaking about his life away from his career, he is a father and has been in several relationships. But, who is he dating or married to, and how many kids does he have? Read on for more.

Is Rod Wave married?
Rod Wave, also known as Rodarius Marcell Green, was born on August 27, 1998, in St Petersburg, Florida. After his parents split while he was in elementary school and his father went to jail, Rod Wave’s life changed enormously. His family inched closer to poverty, so he turned to the streets to find income.
For a few years, he involved himself in illegal activity that found him in and out of juvie – drug dealing, robbing, breaking into things, and more. During that period, he was also arrested a few times. Two of the arrests were for carrying a weapon, one on school property.
When Rod Wave’s father got out of jail, he quickly realized he needed to set his son on a different path. Rod had always had an affinity for music and had begun singing early on in elementary school. His dad took that interest and extended it further, buying his son a microphone while Rod’s brother bought him a computer.
Now by making and recording his own music, Rodarius Green had all the tools he needed to become Rod Wave. He began to turn his life around and was able to graduate high school, something that had been in question up till that point.
Who is Rod Wave’s wife? The American rapper has never been married and seems to be currently single. However, he was in a relationship with a woman named Kelsey Dee Coleman who would become his baby mama.
How Rod and Kelsey met and started dating remains unknown. Also, whether the two are still together remains unclear but at the moment, the two are nothing but co-parents at the moment.

The woman reportedly called 911 twice after the alleged attack, the woman said Wave had come home and gotten physically aggressive with her.
The woman also said she was asleep when Wave came home and the rapper accused her of having conversations with another man and then allegedly choked her until she couldn’t breathe. He had already left the scene by the time authorities arrived. The arrest statement says that the ex-girlfriend had a scratch found “near the left-center of her neck,” but didn’t want medical assistance, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
