Karlie Redd’s Divorce & $18K Payday: Everything You Need to Know

One thing about Ms. Karlie Redd—she knows how to secure the bag, and this time, she locked in an $18,000-a-month payday! Karlie Redd is once again caught in the middle of a messy breakup. The Love & Hip Hop veteran, known as much for her relationship drama as for her music and business ventures, is heading to divorce court yet again. This time, the soon-to-be ex-husband is none other than Teleau Belton, aka “TDivinci,” and it’s getting real messy, real fast. They haven’t even been together for two years!

Karlie’s love life has been a public spectacle for years, with more ups and downs than a Six Flags rollercoaster. She has been engaged at least three times (that we know of!), and every relationship seems to end in chaos.

• Benzino (2014) – Who could forget the infamous Love & Hip Hop Atlanta storyline where Karlie was engaged to Benzino? That relationship crumbled faster than a dry biscuit, with accusations of infidelity and a toxic breakup that still lives rent-free in our minds.
• Mo Fayne (2019) – Karlie got engaged to Arkansas businessman Maurice “Mo” Fayne, but that relationship was another disaster. Fayne ended up getting sentenced to 17 years in prison for a multi-million dollar PPP loan fraud scheme. Talk about dodging a bullet!
• Lamar Odom (2021, Rumored) – While never officially engaged, Karlie had a brief and suspiciously public fling with former NBA star Lamar Odom. It didn’t last long, and honestly, it felt more like a publicity stunt than true love.
• Teleau Belton (2024) – Karlie and Teleau got engaged in June 2024, but here we are, barely a year later, and the marriage has already gone up in flames.

Teleau Belton, also known as “TDivinci,” entered Karlie’s life making big promises of financial and emotional security. Karlie even discussed their relationship during past visits to The Morning Hustle.

Belton is the founder and CEO of Now Thats TV Network, a streaming app for independent creators in film and television. He also serves as an executive producer for several TV shows on the network, including Dejavu Miami, The Academy, Big Lex Baddie Collection, and Coming Up LA.

Things took a dark turn when a domestic violence incident led to Belton allegedly punching Karlie in the chin during an argument in February 2025. Shortly after, he was arrested and charged with simple battery-family violence. Following the incident, Karlie was granted a temporary no-contact order and swiftly took legal action to secure spousal support.

Despite the short-lived marriage, Karlie Redd is walking away with some serious coins. A judge awarded her temporary spousal support of $18,537.50 per month, which has folks side-eyeing Teleau’s “businessman” claims even harder. If he’s cutting those kinds of checks, he’s either richer than we thought—or about to go broke real soon.

To make matters messier, Teleau isn’t just dealing with Karlie—he also has a child from a previous relationship. Recently, it was revealed that he welcomed a newborn with Twood’s from Jessica Dime’s The Mint, adding even more drama to this already chaotic situation. We found out about the newborn right around the time they got married !

At this point, Karlie Redd might as well write a book on failed relationships. She’s been engaged more times than most people change phone cases, and yet, she keeps bouncing back. With her business ventures, music career, and Love & Hip Hop checks still rolling in, Karlie is sure to land on her feet. Whether she’ll find lasting love? Well, that’s another story. But one thing’s for sure—this divorce will definitely be a storyline on the next season of Love & Hip Hop!
