Snoop Dogg’s kids – following in footsteps, illegitimate lovechild, tragic death

Snoop Dogg is a music legend.

The Grammy-winning recording artist – whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. – was born in Long Beach, California on October 20, 1971.

Ahead of marrying his long-term partner Shante Taylor in 1997, the couple welcomed their first child Cordé together in August 1994.

Since then, the pair have welcomed a further two children – Cordell and Cori. In 1998, Snoop also welcomed son Julian with his mistress Laurie Holmond.

As Snoop turns 51 years old, Daily Star takes a look inside what the young adults are up to now.

Cori Broadus

Cori is the youngest child and only daughter of Snoop and Shante.

Born in June 1999, the 23 year old has followed in her famous father's footsteps by launching her own music career – with her songs available on streaming platforms including Spotify and YouTube.

In 2012 at the age of 13, Cori made her record debut by providing vocals on Snoop's 2012 reggae album Reincarnated.

She also featured on a documentary of the same name.

Julian Broadus

Julian is Snoop's second youngest child, with his birth causing a spot of bother for the rapper.

Born 10 months before his sister in 1998, the 24 year old is the illegitimate lovechild of Snoop and his high school lover Laurie Holmond – which hasn't prevented him from being a part of his father's life.

In 2004, Julian featured alongside his half-brothers Cordell and Corde in Snoop's Drop It Like It's Hot music video.

Once a keen basketball player, he has since established a successful real estate career – serving as an executive producer on reality show Love & Listings.

Cordell Broadus

Cordell is the second eldest child of Snoop and his wife Shante.

Born in February 1997, the 25 year old made a name for himself in college football before embarking on a modelling career.

He has since displayed an aptitude for business, recently teaming up with Golden Equator to create his own crypto fund – The Welcome To The Block Fund.

In his personal life, Cordell is the father of three children.

Last year he welcomed his second daughter Chateau with his wife Phia Barragan-Broadus. The couple previously welcomed a daughter Cordoba in 2019.

Cordell also shares a son, Champion Broadus, with his former girlfriend Marissa Hopkins.

Cordé Broadus

Cordé Broadus is the eldest child of Snoop and his wife Shante.

Also known as Kalvin Love, the 28 year old was born in August 1994.

Having dabbled in both sport and modelling in his adolescence, Cordé later launched his own hip-hip career and in 2015, welcomed his first child Zion with his ex-wife Jessica Kyzer.

Following the couple's split, Cordé formed a relationship with his partner Soraya Love and the couple welcomed a daughter Eleven together in 2018.

Months later, they announced a second pregnancy and in 2019, Soraya gave birth to son Kai.

He tragically passed away ten days later in Cordé's arms – though happier news was to follow.

In February last year, Cordé and Soraya welcomed another son named Sky.

Announcing the birth, Cordé wrote on Instagram: "Welcome my HEALTHY son Sky Love 2/20/21. Rest In Peace to those who have passed away today. Circle of life. Such is life."
