The classic adage "Behind every strong man, there's an even stronger woman" is applicable to the case of Fabolous and his girlfriend, Emily Bustamante. For over a decade-plus, Fabolous has garnered massive success because of his radio-friendly tunes, and impeccable style. While he's been aggressively making sure that his family is well taken care of on the financial front, his girlfriend, Emily B has the arduous task of balancing playing mommy and maintaining her business ventures.
The 35-year-old part-Puerto Rican and part-Dominican bombshell isn't just your everyday woman. While boasting over 2 million followers on Instagram, Emily B. has transcended her time on reality TV to become a formidable threat in the realm of fashion. In case you need some more help in trying to figure out who Emily Bustamante is, take a look here.
1. In 2011, she joined the cast of VH1's Love & Hip-Hop: New York.
2. She was born in New York and raised in Virginia.
3. She has three children, two with Fabolous. She has an 18-year-old daughter in Taina Williams, and two sons in Johan Jackson, 8, and Jonas, 1.
4. She has two million followers on Instagram.
5. She's a celebrity fashion stylist and shoemaker.
6. She's been dating Fabolous for on-and-off 13 years.
7. She got on Love and Hip Hop through her friend and stylist, Misa Taylor, she revealed in a 2011 interview with VIBE Vixen. "Misa Hilton had reached out to me. She was originally apart of the cast, and she told me about the show. She knew Mona [Scott-Young] and told me that I should take a meeting with them to see what it was about. You know, I look up to Misa. She’s been a stylist in the game for many years and we’re kind of in the same position. She used to be with Puff and created her own image from that, and when she moved on, she still continued to be a stylist and do what she had to do. It turned that she had got another offer and she decided not to do the show, but I had already signed on. I had met Mona, and I trusted it. And that’s how I came on. I didn’t know coming in that so much would be about Fab. I really thought it would be more about lifestyle and my career and living in the city…"
8. She considers her mother her best friend. “My mother always told me to put God first in my relationships. I realized that in order to put God first, then that means I had to go out on my own,” Emily B said in a 2011 interview with Latina. “Because my situation wasn’t in line with that and when I sought God and asked him to lead my path, I’m in just a different place emotionally.”
9. She met Fabolous in 2002 and explained how the two met in an interview with VIBE.
He asked where I was from, and said that I should visit him next time I’m in New York. I gave him my number and watched him store it in his sidekick as “Emily VA”. I felt like, Wow, he’s only going to know me for my state. I never asked for his number, I felt if it was meant to be, he would call me. We stayed in touch on the phone and when he finally came back to VA to do a show, he called and invited me. We spoke everyday from then on and saw each other often.
