Tiny helped raise T.I.’s three children from previous relationships alongside her own four children. Messiah, Domani and Deyjah became her stepchildren. She was already a mother to Zonnique, and she and T.I. later welcomed King, Major and Heiress. In a 2020 Father’s Day tribute, Tiny named the children from both of their earlier relationships alongside the children they shared. She called them “our Amazing blended family” and thanked T.I. for loving and caring for Zonnique as his own. “The best parts of my life!!” she wrote.
