So, who did Tupac date? Let's dive into the artist's relationship history, an account that includes a fellow music icon, an actress, and another legend who left us far too soon.
Tupac's relationship history included one marriage.
Tupac was married once but the circumstances surrounding the union weren't exactly ideal. When the rapper said "I do" to Keisha Morris in 1995, he was incarcerated.
The pair reportedly also started dating while he was in a relationship with a very high-profile singer: Madonna! Tupac's marriage to Keisha was annulled just 10 months after they wed.

Tupac requested that his then-wife visit him every day while he was behind bars, but after his release, according to Keisha, the relationship changed.
Keisha told The Sun, "Things were getting very different once he got bail, and I felt like I wasn’t needed anymore," she revealed. "It wasn’t a good feeling. I just felt like, wow, okay, it was over. Like, Okay, I don’t need you anymore. I’m getting out. That’s it."
