Snoop Dogg’s journey as an artist is matched by his heartfelt role as a devoted family man. Married to Shante Broadus since 1997, Snoop, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., has four children: Corde, Cordell, Cori, and Julian. His family has since expanded, as he embraces the role of “Papa Snoop” to his growing number of grandchildren.
One of the most defining moments in Snoop’s life was the loss of his grandson, Kai Love, who passed away in 2019 at just 10 days old. The experience deeply affected Snoop and his family, spurring Kai’s parents, Corde Broadus and Soraya Love, to create the Kai Heart Foundation, which promotes wellness, spirituality, and family connection in Kai’s honor.
Snoop’s journey into grandparenthood began with the birth of his first grandchild, Zion Kalvin Broadus, in 2015. He is now grandfather to six others: Elleven, Cordoba, Sky, Chateau, Symphony Sol, and Kai. Each holds a unique place in his life, and he openly shares how he treasures his grandkids, embracing the “get-away-with-everything” grandpa persona.
Through the highs and lows of family life, Snoop remains grounded, cherishing his family’s bond. His devotion to being a father, grandfather, and mentor demonstrates how family is central to his legacy, grounding him in his roots and connecting him with his loved ones across generations.
98-year-old Kentucky woman with over 230 great-great-grandchildren meets her great-great-great-grandchild for the first time in amazing photo with 6 generations in it
An incredibly heartwarming photo showing six generations of women from the same family has gone viral recently as it captured the attention of a large number of people.
At the top end of the age scale is 99-year-old MaeDell Taylor Hawkins who is holding her seven-month-old great-great-great-granddaughter Zhavia Whitaker in her arms while the rest of the women, including MaeDell’s daughter, Frances Snow, 77, granddaughter Gracie Snow Howell, great-granddaughter Jacqueline Ledford, 29, and great-great-granddaughter Jaisline Wilson, 19, are posing behind them. Today, MaeDell has more than 620 grandchildren from her own daughters and their children’s children.
“I know it’s rare for six generations … it’s even rarer for all of them to be the same gender,” MaeDell’s granddaughter Howell, 58, told Good Morning America. “We’re all girls — girl power, as well.”
When they snapped the photo and shared it on the social media, none of them knew it would attract that much attention.
“We just kind of planned a day, and we just all met and grandma knew we were coming,” Howell, who now lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, said.
MaeDell got married back in 1940 when she was just 16 years old. Her husband was 50-year-old rail worker Bill Taylor who at the time had 10 children and needed someone to take care of them while he was at work. MaeDell took the role of a mother and went on to have 13 children on her own.

The family lived a very simple life as they lacked electricity, running water, and a stove, among the rest.
Getting married young was normal back in the day. Speaking of it, Howell said, “Now we don’t. We have children later in our life, so families are not that big. Having six generations is very, very rare to start with.”
The Kentucky matriarch now boasts a whopping 623 descendants, according to a family chart shared by her daughter-in-law, Janice Taylor. They include 106 grandchildren, 222 great-grandchildren, 234 great-great-grandchildren and 37 great-great-great-grandchildren.
“If everything goes well, the baby’s doing well, Grandma’s doing well – we’re all going to meet back in June and get another picture,” the family shared.
