LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Snoop Dogg met his wife, Shante Taylor when they were teenagers attending Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California. The couple started dating during their high school years and instantly connected. Calvin Broadus, better known as Snoop Dogg, has often shared how Shante played a significant role in his life long before he achieved fame.

It was during their teen years that they developed their relationship, being their first love. As Snoop started his rise in the music industry, their bond grew even more. In 1997, they furthered this commitment to each other by marrying. Through it all, fame pressures, and a little up-and-down with each other, fighting for their love. But Snoop referred to Shante as his "backbone," crediting her more than anybody else for understanding and support.

However, Snoop also says the two had to work through the sudden changes brought about by his rise to fame. "Success is new to both," he described, but says coming through with his career took its toll. He confessed that he kept Shante away from certain elements in his life to protect her, but he sees now that she should have been there for it all. The couple separated in 2004 but did not divorce; they renewed their vows in 2008. For Snoop, the secret in their enduring marriage lies in mutual support and understanding.
