Da Brat and Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart are getting candid about their love story.
In an exclusive to PEOPLE, the couple announced that their co-authored book The Way Love Goes: A Guide to Building a “Beaurtiful” and Everlasting Relationship will be available early 2026.
“We’re beyond excited to finally share our story in this book,” Da Brat, 51 and Judy told the outlet in a statement. “It’s raw, it’s real, it’s us-full of love, lessons, laughter and everything in between.”
The couple said they “have poured our hearts into these pages just being ourselves and living our lives as we do daily.”
“True love and longevity is about commitment, communication, understanding and sacrifice. We hope readers thoroughly enjoy our journey.”
The pair first crossed paths in 2017 when Brat attended one of Jesseca’s work events. “I was real nervous and scared at first,” Brat previously said on Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta. “I would hide behind furniture when she would talk to me. I would cover up my face when I laughed. Swag gone, okay? Nobody would probably expect me to act like that.”
Later, Brat and Jesseca bumped into each other again and had their first date somewhere very on-brand for the rapper: the studio. Brat admitted her nerves caused her to go ghost after the date — Jesseca said it was “for months” — but once she got past those feelings, they were able to establish and build the relationship we’ve all loved and been fortunate enough to witness for the past three years. Brat confirmed her relationship with Jesseca in an Instagram post in 2020 that doubled as her coming out announcement.
They married two years later before welcoming their first child, True Legend Harris-Dupart, one year later.
