Brad James’s first wife
This wasn’t the big wedding Brad James and Keshia Pulliam had originally planned. Instead, it was “intimate, quirky, filled with love, laughter, and joy… Absolutely perfect!!” Brad’s first and likely only wife later gushed about it.
Not new to the dating game, Brad dated quite a few people before deciding to choose Keshia as his wife.
He was romantically linked to TLC singer and ex-girlfriend Rozonda Chilli Thomas in 2015. Despite the age gap, his relationship with her was so strong that he even attended her son’s high school graduation. But, of course, the relationship ended in 2016 and the couple never really spoke about it.
Before Chilli, Brad had only had a sincere relationship with Jasmine Burke. But even she did not become his wife.

As for Brad, he also mentioned having four daughters. He called “Babydoll” and “Ellaboo” two of his four daughters.
