Is This The Tracklist To Kanye's 'Yeezus'?
Music producer Stevie J. (real name Steven Jordan) is getting married to Alexandria Martin (affectionately known as Alex), the daughter of 'The View' moderator Whoopi Goldberg.
The couple, who has dated on and off for the last six years, got engaged in December 2007 after he presented her with a diamond engagement ring and matching bracelet.
"I'm to the place right now in my life where I am fully happy with the man I have become. I know none of this would be possible without God first and a beautiful partner like Alex. I am looking forward to planning out a great life for us," said the groom-to-be, before adding: "And she can cook a mean f----g steak!"
Martin, who has been married twice before, is hoping the third time will be the charm.
"I just think that he is such an amazing person! I feel really blessed and I am very, very excited. Can't wait to see what the future holds for us. He makes me feel like a queen," said the mother of three.
Stevie J. got two portraits of Martin tattooed on his arm after she agreed to be his bride.
The pair will have an engagement party on Feb. 23 in Los Angeles.
A one-time Bad Boy Entertainment producer, Stevie J. has produced hits for the Notorious B.I.G., Mariah Carey, R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin and SWV.
The Rochester, New York-native was also once signed as a solo artist to Loud Records.
The self-contained talent – he's a singer, songwriter, producer and plays multiple instruments – was previously engaged to rapper Eve.
It was Stevie J. who was also rumored to be the male in the controversial sex tape of Eve that ended up surfacing online.

It always crack me up when I read these blogs. There is always someone saying " we care because???" or " you people are always hating, get a life". My response is always if you are not interest in the topic why respond, better yet, why read and then respond. Secondly, the topic was written to get EVERYONE'S response, idea, opinion. Whatever it is..it's someone's opinion -the purpose of the blog in the first place..so no matter if its in agreement with you or not..its the objective to get an exchange of ideas going- recognize the purpose of this thing and allow people voice their opinions..damn !!!
In my opinion, I wish the couple well, if the two are really committed to doing it then by all means make it happen. However I am a bit concerned about the on and off thing, getting married is a whole other game.."off" could be costly.

Listen, anything is possible.Just because it's her third marriage doesn't mean the 4th (ouch) won't work...Yeah, now that I'm saying it...it doesn't sound so hot. But you never know, but yeah..oooh I don't know. And if he's the one in the Eve tape.....OOOOh, EEEK!!!!....not a good look, he didn't use his own equipment and he's toooo young for that. I hope it works out though, I'm always one for a happy ending. Good luck. By the way her 1st daughter should be about 17 now right?
