The Shocking Truth Behind Chanté Moore’s Divorce Drama—What Really Happened Behind Closed Doors
Chanté Moore’s love life has been just as captivating and dramatic as her music career. With three marriages, three divorces, and plenty of rumors along the way, fans have often wondered whether she was simply unlucky in love—or if there’s a deeper story that’s never been fully told.
Now, the truth behind her romantic ups and downs is coming to light, and it’s more revealing than anyone expected.
Before the headline-making breakups, Moore was just a girl with an angelic voice raised in a religious household in San Francisco. In 1992, her debut album Precious introduced the world to her powerhouse vocals, but it was her 1999 anthem “Chanté’s Got a Man” that solidified her place in R&B history.
Ironically, as she sang about having the perfect man, her own relationships were unraveling behind the scenes.
Her first marriage was to childhood sweetheart Tony Guen, a relationship that sounded like a fairy tale but quickly ended in divorce by 1993. Moore later admitted she married out of comfort rather than love.
Just a few years later, she moved on to a high-profile romance with actor Kadeem Hardison. The two kept their relationship under wraps and eventually tied the knot in secret in 1997 after welcoming their daughter, Sophia Milan. Despite a quiet start, the marriage didn’t last, and Kadeem filed for divorce in 2000.
Unlike many celebrity splits, Moore and Hardison remained amicable. She even confessed in an interview that she still saw him as “her baby” and cherished the bond they had. But that rare peaceful divorce wasn’t the norm for Moore’s love life. Her third marriage would become the most public—and most complicated—yet.
In 2001, Moore fell for fellow R&B singer Kenny Lattimore. Their chemistry was undeniable, both in love and in music. They released a duet album, Things That Lovers Do, and had a son together in 2003. By all accounts, they were R&B’s power couple—until their seemingly perfect relationship suddenly ended. Moore shocked fans by announcing their divorce on Facebook in 2011 without any prior indication of trouble.
Things took a turn when Lattimore later filed for full custody of their son. Moore aired their dirty laundry on reality TV, appearing on R&B Divas: L.A. and calling Lattimore’s legal move “appalling.”
Lattimore criticized her for making their personal issues public and claimed it negatively impacted their child. Their co-parenting relationship remains strained, with Moore barely acknowledging Lattimore in interviews and directing fans to her music for clues about their breakup.
Adding to the mystery, Moore once published a tell-all book titled Will I Marry Me? in which she explored her failed marriages and questioned her own patterns in relationships. But after initial promotion, the book disappeared without a trace—no listings, no interviews, no mentions. Was it pulled for being too revealing?
Whispers also circulated about Lattimore’s personal life, including rumors about his sexuality. Moore never confirmed anything, but her cryptic responses in interviews only fueled speculation. Lattimore denied the rumors, calling them baseless, but the tension between him and Moore was unmistakable.
These days, Chanté Moore is focused on her music, her children, and herself. She’s not currently dating and seems content with where she is in life. With a net worth of $1.5 million and decades in the music industry under her belt, she’s proven she’s a survivor. Her romantic history might be messy, but her voice and her legacy remain untouched.
Will Chanté ever find lasting love again? Maybe. But one thing’s for sure—she’s not waiting around. She’s still standing, still singing, and still thriving, with or without a man by her side.
