While playing Chanel Simmons wasn’t the 3LW singer’s acting debut—that would be a 2001 episode of the Nickelodeon series Taina—it was the breakthrough role that led to appearances in feature films (Coach Carter, I’m in Love with a Church Girl), TV films (Lovestruck: The Musical) and two more Cheetah Girls films.
After a relationship with Rob Kardashian from 2007 to 2009 led to a handful of appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Adrienne went down the reality TV path, starring in 2012’s Empire Girls and hosting the short-lived 2014 competition series Nail’d It. In 2013, she started as a co-host of The Real, which ran until 2022. She also competed in the second season of The Masked Singer in 2019, placing third as the Flamingo and appeared on the fifth season of Raven’s Home.
After 3LW disbanded in 2007 and The Cheetah Girls parted ways in 2008, Adrienne took her time working on a solo album, eventually releasing New Tradiciones in 2017. After dating Rob, she was briefly engaged to boyfriend of six years, Roc Nation executive Lenny Santiago, in 2015. Nearly a year after calling that off, the former E! News host and musician Israel Houghton announced their engagement. They were married in November 2016 and welcomed son Ever James in August 2022. She currently details her life on her YouTube Channel, Love Always, Adrienne and started her own fashion line, LA VOÛTE, in 2020.
