Scroll down for everything to know about India Royale.
Who Is India Royale?
Royale, born India Cox on March 9, 1995, in Chicago, grew up with three older siblings before attending Robert Lindblom Math and Science Academy. She began building her online presence around 2017, the same year she and Durk started dating, and quickly turned that platform into a career.
Her Rise as an Influencer
Royale built a following on YouTube through makeup tutorials and hair videos, then expanded into vlogs and lifestyle content that showcased her personal style. That early social media momentum helped her become one of the more recognizable influencers connected to the Hip-Hop world.
India Royale’s Beauty Business
Beyond content creation, Royale has built her own business ventures. She launched India Royale Beauty, a cosmetics line where she serves as chief innovation officer, guiding product development for the brand. She has also been involved in hair vending ventures, further establishing herself as an entrepreneur rather than simply a rapper’s partner.
Her Status as a Style Star
Royale’s fashion sense has earned her attention too, with red carpet looks and street-style moments that have made her a style star in her own right, as noted by People.
Her Relationship With Lil Durk
Royale and Durk’s relationship has played out publicly for years. He dedicated songs to her, including “India” and “India II,” and the couple has children together — Skylar and Willow. Skylar is India’s daughter before Durk, but he claims her as his own. Durk proposed to her on stage during his 2021 Lollapalooza set, and the two eventually married in 2024, shortly before his arrest on murder for hire charges tied to a 2022 shooting.
Supporting Durk Through His Trial
Since then, Royale has been a consistent presence at his court appearances, often seen supporting him from the gallery. As the trial unfolds and prosecutors debate whether his lyrics and videos should be admitted as evidence, Royale continues to balance her public support for her husband with her own growing brand. Her story, beyond the headlines from the courtroom, shows that she is a woman who built her own name well before the trial began.
