Josie Harris met Floyd Mayweather when she was 16 years old and the two reportedly started dating in 1995, per Hollywood Life. During their time together, the pair had three children, two sons named Koraun and Zion, as well as a daughter named Jirah.
Although Harris told VladTV that she had tried her “best to keep her family together,” her relationship with Mayweather was volatile and apparently involved violence. The two split after 15 years together during which time “Harris says she suffered physical abuse from the boxer on ‘six occasions,'” according to USA Today Sports. During the final incident in September 2010, “[i]t was the couple’s oldest son, Koraun, who slipped out of the house to alert a security guard to summon police.” Harris then sued Mayweather in 2015 for $20 million for allegedly “lying [about her] in an interview with Katie Couric” while talking about the circumstances surrounding the incident, according to The Blast. The case was set to go to trial on Dec. 7, 2020.
While Harris was willing to stand up for herself in court, she also did her best to stay away from Mayweather following their break-up. The exes even used a jet service to transport their children between their two homes so that they wouldn’t have to see each other. Although Harris obviously wanted to keep Mayweather out of her life, she was willing to let reality TV fans get a glimpse at how she lived.
