FROM STEPMOTHER TO MOM

She is a stepmom to Maximillion's four teenage children-  Lotus, 19, Jagger, 17, Cash, 15, and Mini, 13- from his previous marriage.

Back in December, the rapper spoke to PEOPLE about the adjustment of becoming a stepmother. 

She said at the time: "It's been now 10 and a half years I've been in their lives and they've been in my life. They've grounded me.

"In the beginning, when I first met my husband, then-boyfriend, I was like, 'This is never gonna last because you got four kids! How's this gonna work?'"

'KIDS ARE AMAZING'

She concluded: "But then I met the kids and honestly was like 'Wow, kids are amazing.'"

Eve admitted it "took years" to adjust to being a stepmother, adding: "It did take two or three years to adjust, just our relationship with the kids.
