Monica Martin was born to her parents, Carrol Wilson and Willie Wilson.
Shaun and Monica were wholeheartedly committed to each other. Their immense and unwavering reciprocated love for each other is evident in their social media platforms.
Every now and then, Shaun shared a glimpse of their moment spent together. If not, he occasionally shared appreciation posts for his beloved partner, which speaks volumes about their strong bond.
After six years of marital togetherness, Shaun and Monica welcomed a son, Harlem Eugene Martin, on December 7, 2018.
Shaun shared an Instagram carousel with the first slide of Monica and Harlem’s brief video of them joking around and laughing their hearts out.
He captioned the post,
Harlem laughs like this, because he loves his mommy! I smile like this because I love his mommy! @har_mony23, you are an amazing mother, though it doesn’t surprise me… because you’re an amazing woman! Happy Mother’s Day!!!

Likewise, he would share appreciation posts on Monica Martin’s birthday on March 29 every year. In 2021, Shaun addressed her as his “Women Crush Everyday,” writing,
Ayeeeee…. Issa celebrate! Happy Birthday to my #WCE @har_mony23
So far, the details surrounding their relationship’s timeline remain concealed from the public. That said, their earliest photo together dates back to August 2012.
