Brian McKnight weds longtime girlfriend

(January 2, 2018) Congratulations to soul crooner Brian McKnight on his announced marriage to longtime girlfriend Leilani Mendoza.

In a tweet last May, McKnight announced his engagement, and yesterday made it official with a moving wedding picture and another tweet.

The wedding follows a good 2017 for McKnight, who issued his latest album Genesys (see our review) and also had the hit “I Want U,” the video for which had him sporting a tuxedo, which now appears more fitting than ever.

Congratulation to Mr. and Mrs. McKnight!
