Macklemore’s Wife: Who Tricia Davis Is

Macklemore’s public career

Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, born in 1983, is an American rapper better known by the stage name Macklemore and formerly by Professor Macklemore. A native of Seattle, Washington, he began his career in 2000 as an independent artist. His early releases included Open Your Eyes, The Language of My World and The Unplanned Mixtape. He has received the Grammy Award for Best Rap Song and MTV Video Music Awards for Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Video with a Social Message.

He rose to international success collaborating with producer Ryan Lewis as the duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, active from 2009 to 2016. ‘Thrift Shop’ featuring Wanz became the first self-released song to top the Billboard Hot 100 in 11 years, while ‘Can’t Hold Us’ featuring Ray Dalton also peaked at number one. Their debut album The Heist reached number two on the US Billboard 200. At the 56th Grammy Awards, the duo won Best New Artist, Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song for ‘Same Love’ and Best Rap Performance for ‘Thrift Shop’.

Who Tricia Davis is

Tricia Davis is Macklemore’s wife. The pair married in 2015, and the marriage is described as continuing. Davis is the spouse named in public accounts of Macklemore’s family life. Her identification in those accounts is personal, through her marriage to the rapper Benjamin Hammond Haggerty.

Her identification is through the marriage rather than through a separate role connected with Macklemore’s music career. Davis appears in public accounts as Macklemore’s wife and as the girlfriend he had before proposing. Public descriptions of her centre on the marriage and do not develop a separate personal biography.

How the relationship was documented

Macklemore became engaged to Davis on 21 January 2013, after the couple had been together for seven years. The engagement publicly acknowledged a relationship that had already lasted for years. Accounts of the couple therefore place their connection well before the wedding and the marriage that followed later in 2015.

They married in 2015 and remain married. People referred to Davis as Macklemore’s wife in 2017, confirming how she was identified in public reporting. The precise wedding date and ceremony details have not been publicly reported. The marriage is therefore listed from 2015 onward, following the engagement announced in 2013.

Macklemore’s wider family record

The family connection documented publicly is Davis’s marriage to Macklemore. Their relationship was publicly acknowledged through the engagement in 2013 and the marriage in 2015. Davis is the spouse identified in accounts of Macklemore’s family life, while Ryan Lewis is identified through their professional partnership in music and performance.

Macklemore’s work is regularly discussed alongside Ryan Lewis, but that association concerns recording and performing rather than family. Davis is the spouse identified in connection with Macklemore’s family life. The relationship record concerns their engagement and marriage and does not describe Lewis as a relative or member of the household.

What Davis does away from Macklemore

No professional occupation for Davis has been published. Public accounts linked to Macklemore describe her as his wife and long-term partner rather than setting out a separate career. No work by her is presented as part of his music, and no independent professional project is identified under her name.

Her time before the engagement is described only through the length of the relationship: seven years. No earlier part of her life is developed in the accounts of the engagement or wedding. Her public role is consequently centred on her marriage to Macklemore rather than on work presented under her own name.

Details that have not been publicly reported

Davis’s date of birth has not been published. Her birthplace, residence and education have not been publicly reported. No account of how she and Macklemore met has appeared in print beyond the statement that they had been together for seven years before the engagement in 2013.

Her early life and family background have not been publicly documented. The precise date and location of the wedding have not been published. Details of the ceremony have not appeared in public accounts, and no separate account of Davis’s life before the relationship has been presented to the public in print.
