The Way Love Goes

A Guide to Building a “Beaurtiful” and Everlasting Relationship

Read by “Da Brat” DuPart and her wife Judy DuPart

Hip-hop legend “Da Brat” DuPart and her wife Judy DuPart, stars of WEtv’s highly rated reality series Brat Loves Judy, share their journey to the altar and parenthood in this candid relationship guide and marriage memoir.

Hip-hop legend Da Brat and beauty entrepreneur Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart’s love story is as heartwarming as it is improbable. As rumors about her sexuality abounded, “Brat” believed she would remain “in the closet” until she took her last breath. But lightning struck when the rapper and the businesswoman met in 2017. Though their chemistry was instant and undeniable, the two went their separate ways.

Reconnecting at the Essence Festival a few years later, Da Brat made the bold decision to publicly come out and confirmed their relationship in March 2020. Their love blossoming into their own successful reality show Brat Loves Judy, and two years later their marriage. Within a few months of sharing vows, the couple announced that Da Brat was pregnant, and on July 6, 2023, the pair welcomed a baby boy named True Legend Harris-Dupart.

Part memoir and part relationship guide, The Way Love Goes, is laugh-out-loud funny and filled with warmth and love—just like its authors. Told in Da Brat’s signature Chicago tone, and Judy’s distinctive New Orleans patois, they each take turns detailing common relationship challenges, from sharing successful and meaningful communication to creating balance to coping with jealousy—and how they conquered them.

This is for everyone!

I love how this book can be for any type of couple. I love how they took turns reading and they were so animated in their story telling. I am so grateful they were vulnerable enough to share their life. I think this could be helpful for gay people who struggle with their faith and being accepted by God as well.

The narration

I loved the advice and stories a great read for love and relationships this can really help out a lot of people in life I will put to use alot of the things I heard and use them in it

Yes yes yes

Been a fan of both!!! Thanks for the reality show and thanks for this book!❤️

Finally a book for us!

I loved this book as I am a big fan of this couple. I’m a late bloomer like Brat in terms of coming out the closet but my temperament and lens lean more so on Judy. Finally a book for us girls and what we go through in lesbian relationships. My ex and I are over but we faced a lot of issues that Brat and Judy spoke on. It would’ve been nice if we read it before making the decision to separate.

Keeping it Real

Transparency is important in relationships and it doesn’t matter the sex of the person as long as the information that is being relayed is truthful everyone will have their opinions, but at the end of the day I took away that relationships have their ups and downs. No one is perfect, but it’s about working together, communicating and trusting your partner.
