Who Is Kendrick Lamar's Fiancée, Whitney Alford?

Everyone, gather round, I have news. If you didn’t yet know, Kendrick Lamar got engaged. No, not to a widely known personality, but to his girlfriend of nearly a decade, Whitney Alford. Now, you may not have heard much of Alford, and there’s good reason for that. Because, ironically, what she’s actually most known for is that she likes to keep things low key. Seriously, back in June of 2014, BuzzFeed even referred to Alford as Lamar’s “secret girlfriend,” and they said that she was “hiding in plain sight.” Honestly, with that type of talk, she seems more like an incognito super hero than the fiancée of a majorly talented and successful rapper. And, that’s pretty damn intriguing.

I can’t confirm whether or not she has a secret lair like all good super heroes should, but, for the sake of adding to her already high cool factor, let’s hope so. To sum things up, if this all this talk of Alford has piqued your interest in the slightest, or if you are simply just curious about the woman who has stolen and kept your favorite rapper’s heart for so long, you can check out some interesting and insightful factoids about her below.

Well for starters, if you're really in the dark about Alford, you can finally put a face to the name:
