Kendrick Lamar is one of the best rap artists in the world. Last week, the musician snagged five Grammy Awards for his Drake diss track "Not Like Us." This week he's taking center stage at Super Bowl LIX, where he'll be headlining the halftime show. The "All the Stars" singer has contributed so many timeless songs to rap history. Usually his work vocalizes issues pertaining to Black culture and he does so in an introspective and catchy manner. But while his rap beefs are out in the open, when it comes to his family life, he’s very private.
Despite being one of the most famous rappers in the world, Lamar's personal life with fiancée Whitney Alford and their children is largely kept out of the limelight. However, it seems likely that given how high profile the Super Bowl halftime show is, they're likely to be at the game.

When did Kendrick Lamar and Whitney Alford get engaged?
The "I" rapper and Alford were engaged in 2015. He revealed in an interview with Power 105.1 with the sentiment, "Yeah, definitely. I'm loyal to the soil," after being asked about marriage rumors. “At the end of the day, you want to always have real people around you. Period," He continued. "Everybody that’s been around me has been around me since day one. People that been by your side, you’re supposed to honor that.”
Do Kendrick Lamar and Whitney Alford have kids?
Yes, they share two children: a daughter, Uzi, 5 and a son, Enoch, 3. “My children allowed me, in their development as human beings beginning to walk and talk, to remove my ego, to know that my children, too, will have their own independence,” the "All the Stars" rapper shares in an interview with W magazine. “That allows me to understand the unconditional love on my end—will I allow them to be themselves? Will I allow them to journey off in the world and experience life for what they know of? That’s love, to me. And when I look at that, I try to apply it with how I express myself, how I look at my career, and how I meet other individuals. Am I allowing them to be themselves without any judgment? My children have taught me that.”
On another occasion, Alford briefly shared a video of Uzi and Enoch watching their dad accept the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 2023 on her social media. Since then, Kendrick fans reshared the video on X.
Lamar and his family are on the cover art of his album, "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers," and seen in the prolific "Not Like Us" music video where they're seen dancing happily in black-and-white video.
