    I didn’t know they had kids. That’s great. I have a Caya to. I bet they are beautiful. Their parents are.

  • KNOWITALL says:

    Doesn’t Ginuwine also have a son named Elgin,Jr.?

  • Steffie says:

    Knowitall@ I was thinking the same thing. He does have a son that lives here in Maryland. It strange that he didn’t mention him. They were really close. His Maryland home is a couple of miles from where I live.

  • joy says:

    I thought they only has 2 girls together

    Dream and Story is by Elgine

    Her other 2 daughter are by someone else?

  • koala says:

    You’re right, Joy. Sole already had two daughter prior to meeting Ginuwine. I wonder why no mention’s made of his son,either?

  • Erica says:

    Really nice interview.I have been a fan of both Ginuwine and Sole for years now and its good to see that their marriage is still going strong and that they are giving back to their community.The names of Sole’s daughters are De’jan Cypress,Story and Dream.

  • joy says:

    In less she gave bith to 2 more little girl and just no realizing it!

    Cause De’jan and Cypress are her oldest daughters but BCK has 2 different names posted!

  • lilkunta says:

    Did they move back to MD or are in ATL?

    Sole is pretty.
    …also Sole’s said 4 girls, G said nada. I hope Sole is welcoming 2 G;s son.

    I wonder how Sole stands G’s sex songs with her tryna live a good Christian life now.

    Sole (Tonya Johnston) has 2 daughters from her ex.
    Together they have daughters
    Story (29 March 01) & Dream Sarae Lumpkin(1 November 02)
    Sole’s daugh r De’jan (9 March 1991) & Cypress (9 January 1994).

  • joy says:

    In the orginal post……BCK posted 2 different girl names from Sole to oldest daughters name!

  • lilkunta says:

    Hey
    Pls correct the post. There is no Ginel or Kayah.
    G’s kids are Elgin Jr (92), daughters Story(March 01) & Dream(1 Nov 02).
    Sole’s kids are 4 girls: De’Jan, Cypress, Story, Dream.

  • WTF says:

    Some websites have Ginuwine listed as father to not only Elgin but also Ginel French and Tiffany Lyles from previous relationships.

  • joy says:

    That what I am saying,what if they had other kids we didn’t no about! I mean it ain’t like they are in the spotlight! Not trying to sound mean!

  • Haviland says:

    I’m so confused!

  • ms nola says:

  • pamela says:

    Ginuwine has 6 children of his own, and sole has 2 from a previous relationship….8 kids in total

  • Caitlynn P says:

    Actually you are all wrong. Their children’s names are Tiffany, Little Elgin, Ginel, Tahjere,Story, Dream, Dejan and Cypress. he is heck of a dad to ALL of his children and Sole is an excellent mom. They both are very happy and are BOTH striving to be good christian parents. Their careers ARE NOT dead, but are much better in Christ. they both are very real and genuine loving people. No one should judge what you do not know. What the latest gossip says about them and others in their industry are NOT the gospel. I pray that everyone would be mindful that celebrities are human too! They have children who can access the internet and be very hurt by the garbage and lies that people, who have NO idea who they are for real, makes in their moments of reading what they believe is truth.
    If I were you, I would follow the example of those two and attempt to know the Lord Jesus for yourselves, then you would have more to do than post about people who do not know you exist and comment on what YOU think their lives are….and IS NOT!
    Respectfully posted AND God Bless…..

  • Caitlynn P says:

    and before anyone comment on whether I know them….YES, I do, very well. and this is why I am saddened by the negative comments of people whom I know personally and are very special to me and my family, as I am they feel the same about me and my family. They are wonderful. The two of them AND ALL of their beautiful children, whom Sole have much love for and welcomes without bias as her own children and Elgin is the same with ALL of his children including the two that are not BIOLOGICALLY his , but love and care for as his blood. In this videoo many people missed the point. Elgin did not omit his other children…the question was how do they raise the ones that LIVE with them. That so happens to be the the four girls spoken of. They have ALL of their children all of the time. I am new to this site and so happened to come across one about someone that I know personally. I think that it is wonderful that BCK showcases the accomplishments of black celebrities and honor them by showing off their beautiful babies! I would just admonish posters to be cognizant of the things you post about them. You never know how what you post could negatively impact the celebrities themselves and their children who may happen upon such posts.

    Thank U BCK for the work that you do! Stay godly and continue to represent Christ in your posts fellow christians.

    Reespectfully posted and God Bless……..

  • SetApartBeauty says:

    Caitlynn P, kudos to you for your response. I agree with almost everything you wrote. I actually don’t know how I stumbled upon this website, but I do know Elgin and Tonya personally as well. One thing that is just really sad and pathetic about the majority of these posts is the fact that people are more interested in finding out how many kids they have than they are about the great community service project that the two of them were promoting. How shallow! That really shows alot about character. And to be honest I feel it is really quite disrespectful to be discussing their children. What business is it of anyone on this site to know how many kids they have or what their names, ages, and birthdays are?? Are you raising them or supporting them? It makes no sense to be speculating about the lives of people you don’t know. It doesn’t matter if they are celebrities. It’s also funny that I recognize one poster that I already addressed on MyVoiceDC and YouTube regarding Elgin and Tonya. I see you’re all over the net with your judgmental remarks and misinformation.

    • Stacy says:

      I certainly don’t know either of them, but they were both young at one point & not living a Christian life and made mistakes. They have beautiful children and I commend both of them for accepting the others’ kids because you have too if you claim to love the person. Obviously Sole’ (excuse me Tonya), had 2 girls before they hooked up & she was young (like 17), and Ginuwine did what a lot of guys do, they get with different girls so don’t be surprised if it produces children (sex does that you know) and a lot of girls lie about being on the pill and condoms do break.
      All that matters NOW is that he is a devoted husband and father and it’s very attractive for a guy to grow into a GAM (grown ass man)!
      I hope their union will last and they will continue to instill good values in their children. I’ve seen the 4 girls and they are simply beautiful. It’s just hard to imagine both of them having kids and esp. some of them being teenagers because Ginuwine and his wife still look too young to have them.
      Congrats on overcoming adversity and heartache of your parents death and seeking the Lord. I’m impressed by your video Last Chance. It’s hot and tasteful without you having to climb all over anybody. Beautiful song. Let these fools know what a grown man does…Play it like a grown man ought to!!!!!!!!

  • Shay says:

  • kelvin says:

  • lisa k says:

  • G's boo says:

    I am so jealous,i’ve been in love with G since i was 13.

  • Lula says:

    Is it me or does the math not add up? They said 4 daughters, then they said she has two (different names) from a previous relationship and then his son. I’m counting 7 unless Kaya and Ginel are the same as Dejan and Cypress.

  • JANEEN says:

  • CuriousinNC says:

    I actually met Ginuwine’s Dad back in 96′ when I visited his home in Washington, DC (District Heights). That was an experience i will never forget. Ginuwine wasn’t there but his cherry red BMW with a club on the steering wheel was in the driveway. It was amazing to see all the pictures of Ginuwine when he was a young boy and his Dad was so nice, down to earth and very proud of his son. At the time he was dating a good friend of mine from college UNC her name was Denise Smith. At the time she had pictures of her and his small son Elgin. We actually lost touch after she left school to return to Flint, Michigan (her hometown), but I remebered she was real sick right before she left and thought she may be pregnant. I have always wondered if she was one of his mysterious baby mommas…I really would love to know - Their son/ or daughter would have to be at least 13.

  • angel says:

    i know his son elgin jr. he just graduated from my school. he is cool. he doesnt let the fact the his father is famous effect him or his life. We just hang out like its not nothing and when someone brings up his dad i think he does not like it very much.

  • tiara says:

    angel & shay; my nephew actually goes to surratsville w/ his son as well…and i always wondered did having a famous father affect him. B/c in the dmv (dc,md,va) area we don’t really trip off someone having a famous parent or a famous family member, it doesn’t really matter, and i think that’s why ginuwine chose to let his kids live and go to school here, and also b/c this is where he’s from, i think here and atl are probably the most normalcy they could feel!

  • im 18 born jan 30 1991
    im ginuwine son.
    be on the lookout for me on ur tv screens in movie screens in the future.

  • Aleasha says:

    God!!i’ve been in love with G since i 1st saw him.i must have been something like 8 or 9.since his album ‘the senior’ i stopped tryin to find out what he does coz i thought what would it bring me?i was so shocked to find out he got married&got kidz!
