POP princess Kelly Rowland first locked eyes with her husband, Tim Weatherspoon, in 2009.
Fast forward 15 years, the two are happily married and have spoken publicly about what it takes to maintain a successful union.
Tim Weatherspoon was born on January 7, 1974.
He works as a talent manager in the entertainment industry.
He largely keeps his life out of the spotlight, but judging from his Instagram account, @timspoon, he is passionate about activism, especially the Black Lives Matter campaign.
On what would have been her birthday, he posted a picture of Breonna Taylor with the caption, “Happy Birthday Breonna!!!! SAY HER NAME!!!”
Tim regularly posts pictures of Kelly Rowland and promotes her work on his Instagram.
According to People, he and the star first met while he was working with Destiny’s Child in the early 2000s.
Kelly revealed that Tim fell in love with her from the moment the two first met in 2009.
“He said he knew [he was in love] by the first date,” Rowland told ABC News in January 2017.
“I knew the third date.
“I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ I got nervous — to be completely honest — because I was like, this feels like my husband.”
As People reported, Tim and Kelly tied the knot on May 9, 2014, in an “intimate ceremony” in Costa Rica.
Before the big day, the Hollywood star announced her engagement during an appearance on The Queen Latifah Show on December 16, 2013.
Approximately 30 friends and family attended the ceremony, including Kelly’s former Destiny’s Child bandmate Beyoncé.
As long as both of us don’t get tired – if one of us gets tired we’re good

“Kelly was really happy, Tim was happy, and it was a great break for everybody from the normal grind, but now they’re all going back to work,” a source said, per People.
Since their marriage, the couple say they are “learning about communicating every day.”
“I remember Tim saying, ‘Look, sister, we gon’ ride this thing ’til the wheels come off,’ Kelly said.
“As long as both of us don’t get tired – if one of us gets tired we’re good.”
Kelly and Tim share two children, including sons Titan Jewell Weatherspoon and Noah Jon Weatherspoon.
They welcomed their first son, Titan, on November 4, 2014.
Then, they decided to try to have another baby as Covid-19 began spreading.
Explaining the couple’s thoughts on possibly adding to their family, the singer said, “We had been talking about it loosely, and then COVID happened, and we were just like, ‘Let’s see what happens.'”
The couple got pregnant almost instantly.
On January 21, 2021, they welcomed their second son, Noah.
Speaking of the brotherly relationship on Today, Kelly said, “They are amazing. He’s so delicious and he’s the sweetest baby.
“And Titan is the best big brother, like big brother of the year for sure.”
Rowland also spoke candidly about losing her mother, Doris, a few weeks before she herself became a mum.
“It was such an interesting time,’ she said.
“I remember thinking ‘I have to get through this with peace,’ because I didn’t want Titan to feel my sadness.
“I had my sisters there, Beyonce, Michelle, Solange and Angie, and my cousin Mickey, and they helped me get through it.
‘If I needed to cry, my husband let me and was such a comfort.
“He’d lost his father suddenly, too, so he knew how to console me.
“I’m so grateful for my tribe and community.”
In February 2024, it emerged that the Destiny’s Child singer was supposed to appear on The Today Show this past Thursday but walked off the set just minutes before her interview.
Fans rushed to social media after the news of her departure where they incorrectly speculated that pregnancy was the reason behind Kelly’s disappearance.
“Kelly Rowland is pregnant with her third child!” one wrote confidently on Twitter.
“Kelly Rowland is allegedly pregnant, hmmm I ain’t see no baby bump yet,” a second admitted.
