Donald Glover and Wife Radiate Love, Strolling Hand in Hand in NYC
Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, has been in a long-term relationship with his wife, Michelle White, who largely stays out of the public eye. Fans know the couple keeps their personal life private, which adds an air of mystery to their relationship. They reportedly met in the early 2010s, though specific details about how and where remain undisclosed. Despite Glover’s fame, the couple maintains a low profile. However, the pair will occasionally step out together. When they do, they portray a loving, admirable partnership.
Earlier this month, Donald Glover attended an Amazon Prime Video event in West Hollywood. Promoting the spy TV series Mr. & Mrs. Smith, starring Glover and Maya Erskine, the rapper socialized with supporters in West Hollywood. Then, on August 17, the 40-year-old performed in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena. After a busy month, paparazzi photographed the multihyphenate walking hand in hand with his wife.
The “Redbone” rapper has several connections to NYC. Glover attended NYU, graduating in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in dramatic writing. He then worked as a writer for 30 Rock alongside Tina Fey for three years. More recently, the “This Is America” singer has been filming in New York for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. His wife, Michelle White, is also comfortable in the Big Apple. Unlike her famous husband, she is not in the entertainment industry, and little is known about her profession.
The couple’s relationship became more publicly known in 2016 when they were first spotted together in Hawaii. (White was clearly pregnant with their first child at the time.) However, they didn’t make a red-carpet appearance together until March 14, 2023, at the Swarm premiere. Despite being together for over a decade, Glover and White’s choice to marry was casual and comfortable.
They wed in January 2024 in a quick morning ceremony. Then, Glover returned to the Mr. & Mrs. Smith set to continue filming. “We had a real wedding afterwards, too,” he explained, according to People. “[That night, though,] we went to our favorite restaurant, and then [White’s] parents and my mom were waiting for us at the house.”
Donald Glover and Michelle White have three children together. Their first son, Legend, was born in early 2016, marking the beginning of their journey as parents. The couple welcomed their second son, Drake, in 2018, and their third son, Donald III, was born in 2020. The former Community star has often spoken about how fatherhood has impacted his life and inspired much of his work.
Despite their private nature, Glover occasionally shares glimpses of his relationship with Michelle in interviews. He has credited her with providing him stability and support as he navigates the challenges of a high-profile career. Their relationship is marked by a strong bond, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to raising their children in a loving and grounded environment.
The couple’s ability to maintain their privacy in an era of constant media scrutiny is a testament to their dedication to each other and their family. Glover continues to thrive in his career with White by his side. Their love story is one of quiet strength and a deep connection that transcends the public spotlight.
