Nicki Minaj, 36, announced her marriage to Kenneth Petty, 41, on Instagram late Monday night following nearly a year of dating. She shared her martial bliss with a video of matching “Mr. and Mrs.” mugs and coordinating “Bride” and “Groom” baseball caps.

“10•21•19,” the rapper captioned the footage, appearing to refer to the lovebirds’ official wedding date. USA TODAY reached out to Minaj’s rep for comment.
She hasn’t shared any more details about tying the knot, but Minaj revealed in August that she would have a big wedding celebration following their low-key nuptials.
“I have to work on my album and I have a lot to focus on that I don’t want to do the big wedding now,” she said on Queen Radio in August. “We’ll do the big wedding later.”
She continued: “Before the 90 days is over, yes, I will be married. I’m very happy about that because my baby makes me so happy.”
When an Instagram commenter noted that he would have been a teenager at the time of the attempted rape and speculated the victim “must’ve been a white girl,” Minaj reportedly offered clarification, stating, “He was 15, she was 16… in a relationship. But go awf Internet. y’all can’t run my life. Y’all can’t even run y’all own life. Thank you boo.”
Earlier this week, Minaj called Petty the “Clyde to my Bonnie.” She updated her Twitter account to read “Mrs. Petty.”
