Jacky and D.C. — born John Whitfield — met in 2015 on the set of the hit MTV improvisational comedy show, as she was starring as a “Wild ‘N Out” girl at the time.
Jacky has since branched off into other business ventures, creating a lip gloss line called the J Nove Collection and becoming a realtor in the Atlanta area.
The “How High 2” actor and Jacky share three kids together: daughters Nova and Nala, and a son Prince, who was born last year.
