Prior to his most recent addition to his family, he and Mychelle welcomed their first child together, daughter Alice, in August 2021, and son, Klemenza Tru, in September 2022. Since tying the knot, the couple have been raising their children in Utah, where YoungBoy was under probation for federal gun charges before President Donald Trump pardoned him.
In addition to his three youngest children, he welcomed two kids, Kayden and Armani, with his ex Nisha; one son, Kamiri, with Starr Dejanee, with whom he co-parents her son, Kamron, from another relationship; one son, Taylin, with an ex named Nia; one son, Kacey, with influencer Jania Meshell; one daughter, Kodi Capri, with actress Drea Symone; and one son, Kentrell Jr., with Iyanna “Yaya” Mayweather, the daughter of Floyd Mayweather.

YoungBoy's oldest son, Kayden Gaulden, was born in Louisiana on July 4, 2016, to YoungBoy and his then-girlfriend Nisha Keller. At the time, YoungBoy was just 16 years old, but he was already making a name for himself in the music industry.
“I got f---ing children,” he said in an interview with The Fader in 2017*.* “I got a family that depend on me.” Kayden and his brother, Kamron, both a year old at the time, were featured in the accompanying photo shoot.
“I try to keep my kids with me everywhere I go,” YoungBoy said.
Kamron Gaulden, 9
Kamron Gaulden was born on July 19, 2016, to YoungBoy’s ex Starr Dejanee. She also has an older son. YoungBoy has said that his family is a major motivator for him.
“I got a baby mama that got three kids, two of ‘em from me,” he told The Fader. “Everybody depends on me. I can’t f--- up. I ain’t the only person that I’m hurting.”
However, in 2018, YoungBoy learned that he was not Kamron’s biological father. In a since-deleted Facebook post, he told fans he was “hurt” after finding out, but vowed to continue raising “Baby K” as his own.
Taylin Gaulden, 8

YoungBoy welcomed his son Taylin “Tay Tay” Gaulden on March 19, 2017, with a woman named Nia. The pair had a short-lived fling resulting in Nia’s pregnancy — in fact, YoungBoy didn’t share the news of baby Taylin until after Kamiri’s birth was announced.
In June 2018, Taylin and Nia were involved in a serious car accident that left the little boy hospitalized.
In 2019, YoungBoy released a song titled “4 Sons of a King” dedicated to his children. Taylin and his brothers Kayden, Kamiri and Kacey also appeared in the music video for the song.
Kamiri Gaulden, 8
One year after Kayden and Kamron were born, YoungBoy and Dejanee welcomed a baby boy. Kamiri Gaulden, also known as “K3,” was born on July 6, 2017.
The couple split following the news of Kamron’s paternity, but according to their social media, they appear to be on good terms.
In 2021, Dejanee wished YoungBoy a happy Father’s Day on X (formerly Twitter). She also included a link to his song “There Go Dada,” which featured Kamiri and his younger brother Kacey. In one TikTok post, Dejanee described Kamiri as “the one who try anything with no fear” alongside a video of him water-skiing.
Kacey Alexander Gaulden, 7

Kacey Alexander Gaulden was born on Feb. 13, 2019, to YoungBoy and influencer Jania Meshell.
The couple, who started dating in 2017, had a highly volatile relationship. In February 2018, YoungBoy was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and kidnapping, per TMZ. The charges were related to a hotel surveillance video that captured what appeared to be a violent encounter between the two.
The charges were later dropped and in December 2019, TMZ reported that the rapper took a plea deal and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and family violence.
Kacey appeared in the video for his dad’s song “4 Sons of a King.” YoungBoy also dedicated the song “Kacey Talk” to his fourth son. In the music video, both Kacey and his older brother Kayden make an appearance.
Armani Gaulden, 5
Four years after having their son Kayden, YoungBoy and Nisha had their second child together. His first daughter, Armani, was born on June 19, 2020.
The following month, the rapper clarified how many kids he had. In an Instagram Live video with Rich the Kid, he said: “I got four little boys and I got one daughter. Her name is Armani. I got another daughter on the way though.”
The clarification came after he released the song, “death enclaimed,” in which he says he has “four lil boys and two lil girls.” His second daughter was born a few months after the song’s release.

In 2021, Symone shared an Instagram post celebrating Kodi’s birthday.
“November 26th 2020, God blessed me with a little feisty Sagittarius and I named her Kodi Capri,” she wrote. “Happy 1st Birthday to my sweet wild child. Time literally flies. We are blessed to have you and to be able to watch you grow. May god continue to bless you, guide you, and keep you.”

YoungBoy and his now-wife, Mychelle, welcomed their first child together, daughter Alice, on Aug. 30, 2021. Mychelle announced the news of her birth in December 2021 with an Instagram post captioned, “Love Alice Gaulden💝.”
Speaking to Billboard, YoungBoy confirmed that she was named after his grandmother. The rapper spent most of his childhood with his grandmother, and the pair had a close relationship. He frequently references her in his music. She died in 2010, and her portrait hangs above YoungBoy’s fireplace.
“I got my way with my grandma,” he told The Fader. “I used to get whoopings with my mom, but my grandma spoiled me.”

In September 2022, YoungBoy announced the birth of his son Klemenza Tru Gaulden with Mychelle.
Like with their daughter, the couple did not announce their baby boy’s exact date of birth. Mychelle revealed the news on Instagram. She captioned a photo of YoungBoy feeding their newborn son, “Father and son 💙.”
Also like his sister, Klemenza’s name has a special meaning. The rapper told Billboard that he was named after a character from The Godfather, Peter Clemenza, whose loyalty he admired.
YoungBoy and Mychelle's 3rd Child
On Feb. 22, 2026, YoungBoy announced that he and Mychelle welcomed their third child together, but he did not share the newborn's sex or name. He posted a video of himself sitting on a hospital bed with Mychelle after having the child.
"My gangsta had her baby," he said in his Instagram Stories while panning to Mychelle, who said that she felt "relieved," per Complex.
