Yung Miami has a son with her ex-boyfriend, Jai Wiggins.

In 2015, Yung Miami detailed multiple instances where Wiggins allegedly punched and yelled obscenities at her. In one case, she claims he ripped her wig off of her head during a tirade. The last, and possibly most violent incident happened in October 2015 when Wiggins allegedly pulled Yung Miami out of a car and repeatedly punched her in the face and head. Police were called during that fight and the rapper claims she was transported to a hospital for facial injuries, which included a contusion to her eye and cuts to her lips and face. ^[5]

Yung Miami was later granted a long term protective order against Wiggins, which required him to stay 500 yards away from the rapper, as well as attend a program on domestic violence prevention. Yung Miami also gained sole custody of her son. ^[5] In December 2018, Yung Miami started dating Southside, who is a leading record producer from Atlanta. The couple broke up and reunited later in December after Southside bought Yung Miami a brand new 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class. ^{[9] [4] [3]}

On June 11, 2019, Miami announced her pregnancy on Instagram.^[53]

In October 2019, Miami gave birth to a baby girl called Summer.^[58]

On June 15, 2020, Yung Miami paid tribute to Jai Wiggins, who died in the beginning of June, with a photo collage featuring their 6-year-old son on Instagram. She wrote:

On June 30, 2020, the premiere of City Girls: The Series debuted and it gave viewers a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of Yung Miami.

Titled Yung Miami’s Secret, the series’ first episode follows Yung Miami as she details all the work she put into City Girls while JT was in prison. “Soon as she went away, I did the first tour in all these cities and all these states, making sure JT’s name stayed alive,” Yung Miami said in the episode’s opening. “For all the haters who thought JT being away was going to slow us down, y’all was wrong. When JT gets home, she’s going to be bigger than ever. And they’re going to see that, the superstars that we really is.” ^[64]

The episode also highlights the moment Yung Miami told her record label, Quality Control, that she was five months pregnant, a detail she had been keeping under wraps until then. The episode films the emotional moment as she phones Quality Control executive Pierre “P” Thomas and tells him the news. “I’ve got something to tell you,” she says on the phone. “I know that JT’s in jail and I’m supposed to be out here holding down the crew and you and Coach been going so hard making sure we get everything done. I’m pregnant.”^[64]

Miami explains why she hid her pregnancy for five months, revealing that she was scared about how people would react and genuinely was unsure of how the group would move forward.

There is also some behind-the-scenes footage of Coach K and P speaking together, saying that they wish Miami would have come to them earlier with the news.

She ends up sitting down with them and discussing how they'll deal with this unexpected occurrence.^[65]
