Meet Chingy’s Kids: Keilana Timms, Galaxii, Isaiah Russell, Mykael, and Alzea Bailey

Chingy, born Howard Earl Bailey Jr. on March 9, 1980, in St. Louis, Missouri, is an American rapper, actor, and record producer best known for his early 2000s chart-topping singles such as “Right Thurr,” “Holidae In,” and “One Call Away.”

Raised in the Walnut Park neighborhood, commonly referred to as the “Bad Blocks,” Chingy developed a passion for music at a young age. He began writing lyrics by age nine and recording by ten. After his parents’ divorce during his teenage years, he was raised by his mother, Vernita Crawford.

Chingy, the middle child among five siblings, attended McCluer North High School in Florissant, Missouri, where he earned the nickname “Howie” from friends. Though little is known about his religious views, his work often reflects his African-American heritage and cultural roots.

Chingy married model and actress Adrienne Anderson-Bailey in 2005 following a long-term relationship, although their current marital status remains uncertain, with some sources suggesting a possible separation.

Over the years, he has been linked to various figures, including Keshia Knight Pulliam in 2004, Sidney Starr in 2008, and a rumored encounter with Tiffany Haddish, though none of these relationships were publicly confirmed to be long-term. Since 2016, he has been in a relationship with Asha Pérez, an interior designer.

He is a father to five children from different relationships, reflecting a complex and blended family dynamic. His oldest son, Mykael Bailey, was born around 1997 or 1998 and is now in his late twenties. His daughter Alzea Bailey, born in February 2006, is likely from his marriage to Adrienne.

Actor Isaiah Russell-Bailey, born December 9, 2006, is Chingy‘s son with actress Brittany Perry-Russell and has gained recognition for his role on the Netflix series Family Reunion. Another daughter, Keilana Timms-Bailey, was born in 2012 to a different partner and is approximately thirteen years old.

His youngest, Galaxii Bailey, was born in March 2019 and is the daughter of Asha Pérez. Though Chingy’s personal life has had its complexities, he remains actively involved in his children’s lives while continuing his career in music and entertainment.

Mykael Bailey

Mykael Bailey is Chingy’s eldest son, born around 1997 or 1998 when Chingy was approximately 17 years old. His mother’s identity has not been publicly disclosed, as this relationship occurred before Chingy’s rise to fame with his 2003 debut album, Jackpot.

In a 2008 blog post on Global Grind, Chingy described Mykael as 11 years old and “all grown up,” suggesting he was already showing signs of independence or maturity for his age. By 2020, a Yahoo article about Chingy’s lifestyle changes, including his shift to a vegan diet, noted Mykael was 22 years old, confirming his birth year. Mykael is likely in his late 20s, around 27 or 28 years old.

Keilana Timms Bailey

Keilana Timms Bailey, born in 2012, is Chingy’s daughter from a relationship with an unnamed mother, distinct from his other known partners.

In a 2020 Yahoo article discussing Chingy’s health-focused lifestyle changes, Keilana was noted as being 8 years old, which aligns with her birth year. Keilana is approximately 13 years old and likely navigating her early teenage years.

Galaxii Bailey

Galaxii Bailey, born in March 2019, is Chingy’s youngest daughter, shared with his current partner, Asha Pérez, an interior designer he began dating in 2016.

Her unique name, “Galaxii,” reflects Chingy’s creative and unconventional style, possibly inspired by his artistic persona and love for distinctive expressions. In January 2020, Chingy posted a picture collage of Galaxii on Instagram, captioning it with affection and highlighting her bright personality as a baby. He described her as a blessing and a joy, offering a rare glimpse into his family life with Pérez.

Galaxii is around 6 years old, likely in early elementary school. Chingy’s relationship with Asha Pérez appears stable based on available information, and Galaxii is likely growing up in a supportive environment influenced by her mother’s design career and Chingy’s music background.

Isaiah Russell-Bailey

Isaiah Russell-Bailey, born on December 9, 2006, is Chingy’s son with actress and dancer Brittany Perry-Russell, known for her role in 13 Going on 30.

Unlike his siblings, Isaiah has a significant public presence due to his career in the entertainment industry. He is 18 years old, and has established himself as a rising actor.

Isaiah is best known for playing Shaka McKellan in Netflix’s Family Reunion (2019–2022), a family sitcom where he showcased his comedic and dramatic talents. His other acting credits include roles in Criminal Minds, We Can Be Heroes (2020), and Crater (2023), demonstrating his versatility as a young performer.

Beyond acting, Isaiah is involved in modeling and parkour, blending athleticism with his creative pursuits. His career suggests influence from both parents: Chingy’s entertainment background and Brittany’s experience as an actress and dancer.

Isaiah’s public profile is more visible than his siblings’, with potential updates available through his own social media accounts, IMDb page, or entertainment news outlets. As he enters adulthood, he may continue to expand his acting portfolio or explore other creative avenues, making him the most publicly active of Chingy’s children.

Alzea Bailey

Alzea Bailey, born in February 2006, is Chingy’s son, likely from his former marriage to Adrienne Anderson Bailey, whom he married in 2005. However, some sources suggest a blended family dynamic and the exact identity of Alzea’s mother remains unclear due to conflicting reports.

In a 2008 Global Grind blog post, Chingy mentioned Alzea as being 2 years old and described him as part of his growing family alongside Mykael. Alzea is approximately 19 years old and likely transitioning into young adulthood.

Unlike his half-brother Isaiah, Alzea has not been linked to public endeavors in entertainment or other fields. Chingy’s protective approach to his family’s privacy means Alzea’s life remains largely out of the spotlight, with no known social media presence or media coverage.

Earlier sources, such as pre-2010 reports, often cited only Mykael and Alzea as Chingy’s children, indicating Alzea was among the first of his kids to be publicly acknowledged.
