Kelis has left the glam of Hollywood for a quiet life on a remote farm.
She reportedly "hated living in LA" and ditched Beverly Hills in 2020 for a 24-acre plot of land which she cultivated into a farm with her late husband Mike Mora and her three kids.
Mike sadly passed from stomach cancer aged 37 last year.
Kelis had found happiness again with Mike after leaving her troubled past with ex-partner Nas behind her. She shares her son Knight with the rapper who she has previously claimed that he was "abusive" towards her when she was seven months pregnant.
She told Essence that she was urged to leave Nas after seeing the pictures of Rihanna after her infamous domestic dispute with ex, Chris Brown.
“Something reminded me of Rihanna. I remember so clearly when the pictures came out when the Rihanna and Chris Brown pictures came out I thought about coming out because I also had bruises all over my body…I wasn’t ready to walk, I just wasn’t,” Kelis said.
"Honestly, I’m not weak but I didn’t say anything because I’m really private. I don’t like people in my business. But seeing her the way she looked and then looking at myself… I was embarrassed.
She added: "I didn’t say anything because I wanted this to work and I was delusional and I thought that I could love past this."
Nas responded to the allegations, denying them and telling Hollywood Unlocked : "I do not beat women. I did not beat up my ex wife. Stop."
"Not a single person in my life loved or could even stand you. Luckily for you our assistants all signed NDA's or you would have a list of men and women who would happily talk about how verbally abusive and evil you are," he said at the time.
Since the end of her relationship with Nas and her new life on a farm with Mike, although short-lived, Kelis has found a haven in her private dwelling.
She's since been rumoured to be dating Billy Murray after the pair were spotted attending multiple events together and sources claimed they were "getting close."
