INTERVIEW
The model exclusively tells Closer about co-parenting with the Kardashians, her cosmetic surgery past and being a born-again Christian
Sin Keeping Up With The Kardashians when she was Rob Kardashian’s then-girlfriend and mother of their daughter Dream, who was born in 2016. But Blac Chyna –real name Angela White –couldn’t be more different from the controversial, feud-loving person she was back then.
The former stripper has transformed her life, becoming a born-again Christian, ditching her OnlyFans account and quitting cosmetic surgery. She exclusively tells Closer, “For my 34th birthday, I was like, ‘I want to get baptised’. I realised that I wasn’t living my life right.”
TAKING ASTEP BACK
She continues, “I pulled back from people and parties and focused on myself and tried to pour more into myself and pour more into my kids. I just started putting myself first.”
Angela, 35, shot to fame as Nicki Minaj’s former body double in the music video for Kanye West’s 2010 song Monster. The following year, she appeared in the music video for the song Rack City by rapper Tyga. They began dating in December 2011 and had a son together, King Cairo Stevenson, in October 2012.
They split in 2014 when Tyga began a relationship with Kylie Jenner, leading to a number of social media feuds between Angela and Kylie that ended when Angela started dating Kylie’s half-brother, Rob, in 2016. The pair had daughter Dream in November of that year and starred in reality show Rob &Chyna. However, the show was cancelled after one season.
After dating on and off while raising Dream, Angela and Rob split for good in 2017. In 2020, they agreed to share custody of their daughter, alternating across a weekly schedule.
But these arrangements for Dream hit the headlines last year, when Angela claimed that she had received no child support from Rob. He hit back, “I pay £37k a year for my daughter’s school. I handle every single medical expense. I pay for all her extracurricular activities. I have my daughter from Tuesday-Saturday. Why would I pay child support LOL?”
When asked if she’s now on good terms with her exes, Angela tells us, “I don’t know what good terms is, but what I will tell you is this –I’m getting what I deserve as far as time with my kids, and that’s all that matters. Moving forward, I’m not going to keep saying something that isn’t true and I’m gonna start standing up for myself.”
She adds, “I’m not going to say co-parenting is great like I’ve been saying all these years, being the better person
