One month later, the couple announced that they were expecting a baby.
Their daughter, Dream Kardashian, was born in November 2016, but the couple split at the end of the year.
Blac was seen without her engagement ring in February 2017 and the two, along with the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, engaged one another in a highly-publicized feud.
On March 1, 2018, it was revealed that Chyna was dating rapper YBN Almighty Jay.
The reality star was pictured holding hands with the rapper in Studio City, Los Angeles.
When Chyna was asked by TMZ if the pair were an item, she replied: “Yeah. We’re, like, dating.”

"I’m on OnlyFans so I can support the music because that stuff is not cheap at all,” she said. “Getting studio time, engineers, wardrobe, marketing, I’m using all these different hustles to support that and my kids," shared Blaca Chyna with in 2020."
"That’s the ultimate goal: to keep up their living of how they’re living now. I don’t want to be that parent where they have this now; then, when they get older, they don’t have it … I’m a single Black female supporting my kids. I don’t get any child support, so I have all these things like Blac Chyna’s Closet, the Dynasty Group, my music, the OnlyFans, Lash Cosmetics, promos that I do for other people, and other companies to keep my household together."
From her performance on OnlyFans, her net worth seems to be much higher than $5million, as she made over $240million in 2021 from the site.
However, Blac Chyna has turned a new page in her life as she has since deactivated her OnlyFans account calling it a "dead-end gig."
Since then she has booked a few acting gigs including a role in the 2022 BET mini-series called The Black Hamptons.
Additionally, she recently launched her own hair line called Hearts Pure which has garnered over 36k followers since her debut in March 2023.
