Who is Lil Jon's wife?

However, Lil Jon dished about being a father to Nathan, and his marriage to Nicole. Lil Jon said, "His mother is crazier than me so he definitely doesn’t wanna get his mom pissed off." He added, "You learn to adapt to people as time goes by... because nobody’s damn perfect." Lil Jon further noted, "And you also change... you see stuff that you do that’s not perfect and you change yourself a little bit to fit in with your spouse." Lil Jon and Nicole tied the knot in a small ceremony at the Wyndham El Conquistador Resort and Golden Door Spa in Fajardo, near San Juan, Puerto Rico. Nicole wore a dress by Monique Lhuillier and Lil Jon rocked a white tuxedo to the ceremony. The reception was held poolside and rumored guests included Snoop Dogg and Usher.
