Shortly after ending her two-year relationship with Kanye West in 2010, Amber Rose was ready to start dating again, and she would soon fall head over heels in love with Wiz Khalifa. The two kept their romance under wraps for the first couple of months before deciding to be a little more open about their romance, as they made their first major public appearance at the 2011 Video Music Awards together.
A year later and Amber would find herself not only pregnant with her first child, Sebastian, but she also got engaged to the Black & Yellow chart-topper, and it seemed as if things couldn't have been going any better for her at that time.
