Who is Victoria Monét’s baby daddy John Gaines? The personal trainer began his relationship with the Grammy-winning singer amid rumours of infidelity and they share a daughter – but split last year
Victoria Monét has been making headlines recently for her rumoured romance with Stormzy – and for matching outfits with her daughter on the Wicked red carpet last week
Grammy-winning singer Victoria Monét may be best known for her slick RnB tunes, but recently she’s been making headlines for another reason – her rumoured relationship with British rapper Stormzy.
On November 9, Monét took to the red carpet looking elegant in a pink two-piece outfit by Kim Shui at the Los Angeles premiere of Wicked. But it was her daughter Hazel who stole the show in a blush pink Elisabetta Franchi dress that matched her mum’s look.
Fans were understandably captivated by the mother-daughter duo, though some were left wondering who Hazel’s father is. While Monét often shares photos of her baby girl on Instagram, her social media profiles don’t offer many clues about her baby daddy. That’s likely because she reportedly split from him very quietly last year, according to People magazine.
The man in question is fitness guru John Gaines. Here’s what you need to know about him.
He’s a personal trainer
John Gaines is a fitness model and personal trainer. He made a name for himself in the fitness industry with Gains by Gaines, an app offering personalised training programmes. Described as “the ultimate transformation programme”, the app builds bespoke meal plans, workouts, advice and support based on each user’s individual goals and lifestyle.
Gaines’ fitness mantra? “The only bad workout is the one you didn’t do.” Gaines found his passion for wellness early on as an athlete who competed in multiple sports.
He and Monét first appeared together in a music video
Gaines and Monét first appeared together on screen when he starred in the music video for Monét’s song “Moment” in February 2020. The steamy video made the pair’s chemistry obvious and had fans wondering about whether they’d become a couple off-screen, too.
