While promoting his new show on VH1, Kirkpatrick revealed how he met his partner, Kyla Pratt. "Kyla and I met almost 11 years ago," Kirkpatrick told Madame Noire. "I had two female cousins and one of them invited her over. ... I walked in the house, my cousin introduced us. ... One of my boys... we got into a discussion about who could drink the most or who could take that type of shot. ... And [Kyla] jumped in and was like, 'You talking all that s*** I want to see you do it.' ... After that we was cool. That's how we met." The rapper also mentioned that he knew Pratt from her work on The Disney Channel — though he wasn't aware of the extent of her fame at the time of their meeting.

The pair have been engaged since 2011 and now share two daughters together, but Pratt has confirmed that they aren't rushing to tie the knot. "We're going to get married when we feel like it," Pratt told VLAD TV in 2014. "I feel like there's a lot of pressure that people try to put on anybody in relationships, as far as getting married. I was having a conversation with someone recently, and I reminded them ... 'There's a lot of pressure that comes with that piece of paper.'" Whether or not the couple really is married, both Kirkpatrick and Pratt seem content with their existing relationship.
