DMX's first known relationship was with his childhood sweetheart and ex-wife, Tashera Simmons. The pair wed in 1999 and enjoyed their married life for 11 years with their four children: Xavier, Tacoma, Sean and Praise Mary Ella.

Although they called it quits, DMX and Simmons remained friends.

"Now I also celebrate my ex-husband, my best friend, my spiritual partner, my mentor," she wrote in a birthday message a day after his death. "I also thank God for his life and his peace and his journey, and his life lessons that was passed on and that will live on for generations to come."

"Dearest, sweet Aaliyah, I have trouble accepting the fact that you're gone," DMX said in the first part of his "Miss You" music video. "So, I won't. It'll be like we went for a while without seeing each other. But I can understand why God would have wanted you close to him. 'Cause you truly were an angel on earth. In my own special way, I love you and miss you."
