Unlike some rappers, Lamar wanted to keep his relationship with Alford private - which is why she hasn't been invited to the many public appearances that he is in.
"When I asked Lamar, out of all the influential people on his speed dial, who in his life has the power to call him out," The New York Times wrote about Lamar, "his answer was immediate: 'One particular young lady,' he said, referring to Alford. 'She's been here since Day 1.'"
In 2015, the two were reportedly engaged. Lamar told Billboard he wouldn't even call Alford his "girl."
"That's my best friend. I don't even like the term that society has put in the world as far as being a companion - she's somebody I can tell my fears to," he added.
Lamar and Alford share two children - Uzi and Enoch. They were all featured on the album art of his most recent album cover, "Mr. Morale and The Big Stepper," including Alford.
