As Kevin Hart takes center stage for the Netflix roast special The Roast of Kevin Hart, fans are once again turning their attention to the woman who has stood by his side for years. Eniko Hart is far more than the comedian’s wife. She is a model, entrepreneur, investor, and social media personality with over 3.1 million Instagram followers. In 2013, she appeared in Rip the Runway alongside Rick Ross, Meek Mill, and Omarion. She is also an ambassador and investor for Fabletics, the fitness apparel brand co-founded by Kate Hudson.
How Kevin Hart and Eniko Hart first met
Kevin Hart and Eniko met in 2009 and quickly developed a strong connection as reported by PEOPLE. Their relationship grew steadily over the next several years, largely away from the spotlight. In 2014, Kevin proposed on Eniko’s 30th birthday. He later described the proposal as the best decision he made on the best day of his life. As he knelt down to propose, Eniko said yes to the man she called the “most amazing man” in the world. The couple married in 2016 during a lavish ceremony near Santa Barbara. For the wedding, Eniko wore a custom lace mermaid gown designed by Vera Wang.
Building a beautiful family together
In 2017, the couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Kenzo Kash Hart. Their family expanded again in 2020 with the birth of their daughter, Kaori Mai Hart. Eniko regularly shares moments from her parenting journey on social media. She is also a loving stepmother to Kevin’s two children from his first marriage to Torrei Hart: daughter Heaven and son Hendrix.In 2018, Eniko posted a touching handwritten note from Heaven, “Just wanted to say that your awesome and that you’re literally the G.O.A.T. Your the best and your capable of anything don’t forget that okie dokie.”
The challenge that tested Kevin Hart’s marriage
Their marriage faced its toughest test in 2017 when Kevin publicly admitted to cheating while Eniko was pregnant with their son. Eniko later discussed the painful experience in ‘Kevin Hart: Don’t F**k This Up’.“Immediately I just lost it. I called him, I’m crying, I’m like pissed. Right then and there, I just kept saying, ‘How the f–k did you let that happen?’”“Everything’s on Instagram, everything’s on social media, so it was an ongoing fight, all the time, every single day.”“I kept questioning him, like, ‘If this is what you wanna do, I don’t want to be a part of that.'”
Why Eniko remains Kevin Hart’s strongest supporter
Kevin has repeatedly described that period as the lowest point of his life. “The toughest thing was just telling my wife,” he said in ‘Kevin Hart: Don’t F**k This Up’ episode.“There is no easy way to have that conversation.” “There’s a major effect it could have on the people that you are closest to, who you love the most.”“When I got to see that first-hand with Eniko when I got to see the effect my reckless behavior had, It was crushing, that tore me up. That really tore me up,” Kevin said.Despite the heartbreak, the couple chose to rebuild their relationship and move forward together. Today, Eniko Hart remains one of the strongest influences in Kevin Hart’s personal life and career.
