Speaking with ‘People’ last year, Snoop said of his wife, "She understands me. She's a great mother, a tremendous grandmother, an excellent wife and a great friend”.

“She knows how to push all of my buttons to make me act a m*********** fool or to make me act cool, and I love it. Over the years she's grown with me to know what I do and how I do it and to give me the space to do it. The things that she helped me with is patience, understanding what family is, making time for family and not making excuses”, he added.

Wow, 28 years in the entertainment industry is no joke! Especially when we see so many celebrity marriages falling apart. Snoop and Shante give me hope ❤️ Their high school sweetheart story is so wholesome - reminds me of Bollywood romances!

Not gonna lie, I never expected the "Gin & Juice" guy to be such a family man! 😂 But seriously, their ability to work through their 2004 separation and come back stronger is inspiring. More power to them!

As someone who grew up listening to Snoop, this makes me so happy! In India we value long marriages so much - 28 saal is a big deal. His words about his wife's patience and understanding show real maturity. Also, grandparents now? Time flies!

While I'm happy for them, I do wonder how much of this is for public image. The entertainment industry often portrays perfect relationships that might be different behind closed doors. Still, 28 years is impressive regardless.

Their story is like a modern-day fairytale! From prom to grandkids - so beautiful. Shante seems like such a strong woman to handle Snoop's crazy lifestyle. Indian wives would totally relate to her patience 😄

The fact that they've been together since school days is amazing! In India we have arranged marriages that last decades, but love marriages with this longevity? Especially in hip-hop? That's special. Much respect to the Dogg family 🫡
