In a world where relationships are as fleeting as a TikTok trend, Keyshia Cole has made quite the statement with her latest social media reveal—a new ring shaped like a broken heart. Yep, you heard that right! It looks like the R&B diva is using her sparkle to cope with her recent split from rapper Hunxho, and boy, if that’s not a subtle flex, I don’t know what is! Imagine announcing your heartbreak with an extravagant diamond ring and a caption that says, “My new ring cause yeah,” along with a teary-eyed emoji. Is this the new breakup anthem or just a touch of dramatic flair?
While the couple’s love story seemed to dance in the public eye this past year—with glitzy gifts and collaborative tracks—they’ve now found themselves in the sad saga of relationship breakups. Keyshia’s heartfelt visuals and cryptic messages on Instagram haven’t gone unnoticed, sending fans into a whirl of speculation about the reasons behind their split. Could it be the 18-year age gap catching up, or perhaps something juicier? Let’s dive into the details as we unravel the emotional rollercoaster that is Keyshia Cole’s love life…
Keyshia Cole has unveiled a striking new ring in the shape of a broken heart, seemingly symbolizing her recent breakup with rapper Hunxho. The diamond-encrusted piece, which sparkled on her Instagram Story, was accompanied by the caption, “My new ring cause yeah,” paired with a teary-eyed emoji. She also added the words “nasty work,” a phrase hinting at the emotional weight of her split. Just weeks ago, Cole had declared her single status on Instagram, alluding to the end of their relationship. The R&B singer has alluded to their breakup with various heartbreak-related content throughout the month.
While their relationship rollercoasters have been public, neither has shared details about the reasons for their separation. However, speculation has emerged that their significant age difference—Cole is 43, while Hunxho is 25—may have contributed to the breakup. The couple first became romantically linked earlier this year, but their relationship was marked by controversy from the start. Not long after they went public, rapper Gloss Up alleged she had been romantically involved with Hunxho during the early days of his relationship with Cole.
Hunxho has not acknowledged the relationship or a possible breakup on social media. He released his sophomore album, Thank God, in October. The couple collaborated on the album cut “Don’t Let Me Down.” Before the album’s release, Hunxho and Cole appeared good as he gifted her a pink Maybach for the singer’s birthday. The album features Fridayy, Ty Dolla $ign, Polo G, Mariah The Scientist, Don Toliver, and Lil Durk.
Keyshia Cole’s relationship history includes a proposal to Jeezy and a three-year marriage with former NBA player Daniel Gibson. She has been linked to high-profile rappers such as Bow Wow, The Game, and Birdman. She released her latest album, 11:11 Reset, in 2017. Cole is best known for the classic love songs, “Love,” “Last Night,” and “I Should Have Cheated.”
