Us Weekly previously confirmed that the couple obtained their marriage license on July 29, more than a month after Minaj’s initial claims that they got the paperwork.

“We did get our marriage license,” the “Super Bass” singer, 36, said on her Queen Radio show on June 21. “I think I have what I was striving for, just happiness. It was so hard to get to a happy place. Now that I’m there, I don’t want to compromise that for anyone or anything.”

She added that having a child is her “end goal.”
