Four Children With Ex-Wife Solé
Ginuwine and Solé began dating in 1999 and married in 2003. During their 12-year marriage, they welcomed two daughters: Story Asaundra, born March 28, 2001, and Dream Sarae, born later. The couple divorced in 2015.
The singer also embraced Solé’s two daughters from a previous relationship, De’jan and Cypress, as his own. Even after the split, Ginuwine has stayed close to them. “Great pics with my daughters love them always supporting @dejan.nicole @cypresssoleil ❤️,” he wrote in a 2024 Instagram post.
In a December 2024 episode of the Drink Champs podcast, Ginuwine explained how he and Solé’s new husband, Public Enemy’s Professor Griff, maintain civility for the kids. “As grown men, we have to extend that same courtesy to our kids and say, ‘Listen, everything always isn’t going to be perfect… but this is how you do after that. This is how you make it right. This is the example you set for kids.’ That’s what I do.”
Stepdaughters Who Became Entrepreneurs
De’jan launched Pink and Posh Events in 2021 after decorating small gatherings for friends. Based in the DC metro area, her company offers floral styling, custom signage, balloon installations, and full event design for weddings, birthdays, and corporate events. “My journey with Pink and Posh Events began with my passion for creativity and design,” she told Voyage Baltimore in October 2024.
Cypress welcomed daughter Sage on May 17, 2020. Sage calls Ginuwine “G-Paw” and joined him onstage during an October 2024 concert. Cypress also runs Cypress Soleil Naturals, an herbal-infused hair and skincare line she founded in 2018.
Story and Dream Follow Creative Paths
Story, who studied dance, performed with her dad at Essence Fest 2024. “Wow….5 years since I’ve been on stage and I got to do it at Essence in a stadium with my dad for my favorite group. I feel so blessed,” she posted.
Dream plays guitar and produced a song for artist 4batz in 2024. She previously performed alongside both parents at Essence Fest 2019.
Five More Children Stay Private
Beyond the four he raised with Solé, Ginuwine has five children from other relationships. He rarely posts about them, but has shared birthday tributes for daughters Santana and Ginel and son Aye Yo El.
