mixtape for $100 each. After an exchange of direct messages on Instagram, the rest was history for the often-idolized couple, who would later become parents to their now-4-year-old son Kross.\u00a0 London continued, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI felt that material-wise, I had kind of just lost everything. I lost what I would say is the love of my life.&#8221; Although she has long found spirituality to be paramount in her life, her yearning to uncover herself in a new light intensified when sorrow blindsided her. She added: &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was so in a dark space and it was just like, \u2018What is this? Who am I? God, please show me.\u2019 \u2026 When you\u2019re facing God face-on, you\u2019re asking real questions and you want real answers. It wasn\u2019t for play. I really wanted to know what was going on. So, I think it just has expanded because of my quest for peace.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After Hussle\u2019s death, London reshuffled her priorities, placing acting to the side to focus on parenting. In her recent return to the silver screen, she starred opposite Michael B. Jordan in <em>Without Remorse<\/em> as Jordan&#8217;s wife, Pam Kelly, who is killed by Russian agents. The role was a venture from her typical supa&#8217; fly girl-next-door persona, but also one she felt familiar with. London said,<\/span> \u201cI really related with [Jordan], his character, his pain and his sadness. I was like, \u2018Wow, here I am in the depths of my grief, and there\u2019s a project that I can actually give something to. Maybe I can give him insight on what that really feels like.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29094,"featured_media":24727,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO
