According to People magazine, the couple tied the knot in 1995, but after doing some digging, well, the math ain’t matching.

And unwilling to fully understand the Extent of his son's condition he said I Didn't really want to hear it it was so Traumatic for me years later his son Joey was also diagnosed with autism Joe Was still young and he wasn't prepared To be a single father so his parents Stepped in to help him raise his son Full time as of this video Joey still Lives with Joe's parents Joe is Financially able to give Joey the care And love he deserves but his parents Still refused to allow Joey to live Anywhere other than under their roof Under the moniker Fat Joe The Gangsta he Released the song flojo to promote the Single he and his crew including Raul Konde and his manager Steve took a trip To Miami now in his Memoir Joe doesn't Get specific he only refers to the time As the early 90s but since flojo was Released in 1993 and he went to Miami to Specifically promote the song after it Was released then it only makes sense That the trip took place in 1993 right So anyway while there Steve mentioned That some friends from New York had Moved to Miami and they were all going To meet up they arrived at a parking lot Outside a club and a car pulled up a Girl stepped out of the car and in his Memoir Joe wrote that as she stood in Front of the headlights she looked like A superstar standing on stage she was
Wearing a pair of blue jeans and Joe Couldn't stop staring at her fatty He had never seen a Colombian woman Before and he had never seen a woman With such a big dunk he was fantasizing About her when he accidentally blurted Out oh my God she is beautiful when you Meet the person you love a switch goes Off where you say this is it 19 year old Lorena introduced herself to 22 year old Joe Steve who considered Lorena as his Little sister immediately told Joe to Back off in an episode of unsung Lorena Said she fell in love at first sight and Steve couldn't do anything to keep them Away from each other as they chatted Joe Said he was blown away by their Conversation he thought everything that Came out of her mouth was simply amazing After their night out they went back to His hotel to hang out and they passed by Two other women in the lobby whom Joe Had planned to spend time with before he Met Lorena Lorena thought he was a player and Joe Said he was thinking I wish I could Trade them for you right now Lorena made it clear from the jump that She didn't like men with big mouths and If she found out that Joe told anyone About anything that went down between Them she would never talk to him again Joe played it off like he didn't Understand what she was trying to say
Nothing happened that night but they met Up again while he was in Miami and he Took her to the movies they shared their First kiss and Lorena told him again That she didn't like guys with big Mouths and if he told their business to Anyone she would never speak to him Again when the date ended Joe ran back To his friends and bragged about how he Slobbed her down The next day he tried calling her and She didn't pick up apparently word had Gotten back to Lorena that Joe was Telling their business and she was done With him when he ran into her on the Streets of Miami he apologized he told Her she was so beautiful he had no Choice but to brag about her to his Friends he convinced her to give him Another chance and she agreed his Extended trip to Miami was coming to an End and after two weeks of hanging out With Lorena he was getting frustrated That she wasn't giving up the draws He told himself that if he didn't hit it Soon she was just wasting his time and He would move on after another night out He took her back to his hotel and in his Memoir he wrote that they stayed in the Room for three days and passionately Destroyed it he and his crew headed back To New York and he tried to play it cool By not calling her for two weeks when Lorena finally got a hold of him she
Said are you trying to play me you think You're just going to hit it and not call Me ever again I'm coming up to New York And you better come get me at the Airport now in his Memoir Joe revealed That he had just broken up with the Mother of his second child named Ryan And this is where things start to get a Little confusing in his Memoir Joe Doesn't confirm Ryan's birthday and we Think we know why From our online investigation we've Concluded that Ryan was most likely born In 1995 and People magazine even Published an article that verifies that Ryan is six years younger than Joe's Eldest son Joey so if Joey was born in 89 then that confirms that Ryan was born In 95. but wait Joe met Lorena in Miami In 1993. so did he cheat on Lorena and Get another woman pregnant was he Two-timing both women were he and Lorena On a breakup at the time Ryan was Conceived we may never know the truth Joe did confirm that he was very wild Around the time Ryan was born he had Become even more successful in the music Industry and women were throwing Themselves at him he would come home With dozens of phone numbers in his Pockets which angered Ryan's mother in His Memoir he wrote I was driving girls Crazy out in the Bronx and throughout New York
[Music] But either way Lorena treats both of Joe's children like her own and she Eventually moved in with him Joe said They were madly in love and he described Her as his soul mate the feds were going After people in Joe's crew at one point And many of his friends got sentenced to More than 65 years behind bars on Rico Charges even though he left the streets Behind a few years prior he heard rumors That the feds were coming for him next Naturally this made him extremely Paranoid that his freedom would be Ripped away from him Lorena was visiting Some family in New York when Joe stopped By and walked in on 20 women cutting up Substances on a table He later discovered that Lorena's dad Was a big time substance dealer in Colombia Lorena had grown up around it And wasn't phased by it at all in his Memoir Joe implied that Lorena was Involved in that lifestyle to some Capacity as well Knowing that the feds were rounding up Everyone around him Joe pleaded with Lorena to get out of the game and she Eventually did it was too late for her Dad though her dad got locked up for 10 Years upon his release he was deported Back to Colombia Joe was still hearing Rumors that he was next to get locked up And he knew that if it happened a woman
