Rapper T.I. and longtime love Tiny Cottle have wed, reports US.

The couple, who have been together since 2001, reportedly married in a court in Miami Beach, Fla., and are planning three separate ceremonies. The first will take place off the coast of Miami on a small island which will include close friends and family, and the others will take place in Atlanta, followed by Las Vegas.

Cottle recently sat down with Celebrity Baby Scoop and revealed the secret to their happiness,

We do have plans to marry soon! We have a great friendship first, and a lot of respect for one another."

The couple are parents to two children together, sons Clifford, and Major, while Cottle has a daughter, Zonnique, and T.I. has three children, Domani Uriah, Messiah Ya'Majesty, and Deyjah from previous relationships. The two also tragically lost a daughter in 2007 who was stillborn six months into Cottle's complicated pregnancy.
