Given the persona Fabolous portrays behind the mic, not many people know he is a committed man. Fabolous has been with girlfriend and mother of his son, Emily Bustamante since 2003. Their relationship has not been easy, but they have managed to make it work.
Despite being with one of rap’s heavyweights for eight years, not too many people had ever heard of Emily Bustamante. For the most part, she has stayed out of the spotlight. Fabolous is very secretive about his private life, for the obvious reasons.
Emily Bustamante is one of the stars of the VH1 series, “Love & Hip Hop” and the show has become a hit. Through the series, viewers are getting to know the woman in Fabolous’ life. Like other couples, the two have their ups and downs.
One of the hardest parts of their relationship is balancing Fabolous and John Jackson, Fabolous’ birth name. When he is out in public, he is Fabolous, but at home with his girlfriend and child, Fabolous is John, the man Emily Bustamante fell in love with. While she can see the difference between the two, Emily said she sometimes has trouble doing so.
There was one time when Fabolous was asked if he was single in an interview. Emily expected him to answer “no,” but he said he was as single as a dollar bill. When he said this, she realized this was really John and not the rap voice, Fabolous. After hearing this, her heart dropped and she sent him a text message. Fabolous sent her a text back and he told her not to listen to the radio.
