The relationship between DMX and wife, Tashera Simmons, has been turbulent to say the least. DMX has openly cheated on her, several times. His frequent cheating has produced not one, but six children outside of their marriage. Between the overall tough relationship and the cheating, Tashera Simmons filed for separation from DMX. At one point, DMX planned to build a life with the mother of one of his other children, but the couple split.
As he stated in his “Behind the Music” series, DMX said he cheats on his wife often, but she is the only woman who will ever have his heart. DMX revealed she is the only woman he could ever count on in his life. During the promotion for the upcoming VH1 series, “Couples Therapy,” DMX expressed similar sentiments. Through it all, including those close to her telling her to leave DMX, Tashera Simmons said the couple will always be connected.
Much like they did in hip hop, DMX and Tashera Simmons took over the spotlight on “Couples Therapy,” with many gravitating towards the clip where DMX goes off on an angry rant. Watching the season like everyone else, Tashera Simmons discussed DMX’s rant, saying she was highly embarrassed by his actions.
Tashera Simmons discussed her feeling about the rant, after watching it on television with VIBE. Simmons, speaking with VIBE, said:
 “I was speechless watching when X cursed me the hell out. At that time, when it was happening, I was so busy worried about the lies he was making up, that I didn’t realize how he was talking to me. But actually watching it, I realized that I’ve been immune to that talk all of these years, and I realized that I was in a verbally abusive relationship. I was just shocked, and embarrassed.”
