Shenseea, the celebrated Jamaican dancehall artist, recently opened up about the unraveling of her relationship with her ex-partner, Rob, after the birth of their son. In a candid interview, she shared her perspective on the challenges that come with becoming parents and how it affected her once strong bond with Rob. The 28-year-old singer reflected on the deep connection they shared before their son, Rajeiro Lee, was born, describing it as the kind of love that made them inseparable, constantly texting each other even when they were in the same room.
However, after the arrival of their child, things began to change. Shenseea expressed her belief that parenthood often brings about a shift in relationships, stating that the idea of finding the “perfect partner” to start a family with is more of a fairy tale. According to her, people naturally change after having children, which can lead to a distancing between partners. She admitted that the relationship with Rob eventually deteriorated, and they eventually stopped communicating altogether.
Her honest account sheds light on a conversation that many people, especially women, have long been reluctant to discuss: how the pressures of fatherhood can alter the dynamics of a relationship. Shenseea didn’t blame all men, but she noted how some men seem to change after the birth of a child, sometimes not for the better. This shift in relationships, she explained, can be silent and gradual, not necessarily caused by scandal or betrayal, but by the strain of adjusting to parenthood.
Despite the breakdown of her relationship with Rob, Shenseea continues to focus on her career and her son. Her 9-year-old son, Rajeiro, has a strong male role model in the form of Romeich Major, her manager and longtime friend. Shenseea has expressed her commitment to providing a stable and loving environment for her son, even as she navigates the complexities of single motherhood.
In addition to reflecting on her past relationship, Shenseea also discussed the challenges of dating in the public eye. As a successful artist with fame and financial independence, she admitted that it can be difficult to know if a regular guy is genuinely interested in her or her success. However, she remains focused on her music and personal growth, not letting her past experiences cloud her outlook on the future.
Though she has faced setbacks in her personal life, Shenseea remains optimistic. Recently, she shared that she has “baby fever” and expressed a desire to expand her family. Despite her longing for another child, she acknowledged that timing and readiness are key, especially with her son, Rajeiro, already being a handful. Her focus remains on building her career, taking care of her son, and navigating life’s challenges with resilience.
