It’s funny how we think we know everything about the biggest stars on the planet. Austin Post—better known to the world as Post Malone—is the guy who feels like your best friend even if you’ve never met him. He’s the face-tattoed, Bud Light-loving, genre-bending giant who seemingly wears his heart on his sleeve. But for years, there was one part of his life he kept locked away in a vault. Then came the name Jamie Park.
Honestly, the reveal wasn't some grand PR moment. It was messy. It came through legal filings and TMZ headlines rather than a cute Instagram post. If you're looking for the typical Hollywood romance, you're in the wrong place. This is a story about a "normal" girl from South Korea, a global superstar, a surprise baby, and a legal battle that finally settled in late 2025.
The Mystery of the "No. 1 Mom"
For the longest time, fans just called her "the mystery fiancée." Posty would drop little breadcrumbs in interviews. He told Howard Stern in 2022 that he was a girl dad. He told Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy that he’d proposed in Vegas while he was absolutely hammered (she told him to ask again when he was sober—smart move).

But he never said her name. Not once.
We now know her as Hee Sung "Jamie" Park. She wasn't an influencer or a singer. She was just the woman who, in Post’s own words, "saved my f***ing life." While he was touring the world and battling his own demons with alcohol, she was the anchor. They were reportedly together since around 2020, building a quiet life in his massive Utah "bunker" home.
Then things shifted.
By early 2025, the vibes changed. Post was spotted in Rome and Paris with a new woman, Christy Lee. The internet did what it does best: it spiraled. Where was Jamie? What happened to the "No. 1 mom in the universe"?
The Legal Storm: Utah vs. California
The breakup wasn't just a quiet "we've outgrown each other" situation. It got loud in the courts. In April 2025, the world finally got a name because Jamie Park filed for primary physical custody of their daughter, known in documents only as DDP.
Here’s where it gets complicated. Jamie filed in California. Posty, being a resident of the Beehive State, filed in Utah.
Why does that matter?
- The Money: California has some of the highest child support guidelines in the U.S.
- The Lifestyle: Post Malone argued their daughter had lived her whole life in Utah. Her nanny was there. Her pediatrician was there. Even her music classes were there.
- The Jurisdiction: It was a classic "forum shopping" battle.
Post’s legal team, led by the legendary Laura Wasser (who has handled everyone from Kim Kardashian to Britney Spears), played hardball. They accused Jamie of "gamesmanship" for trying to move the case to Los Angeles. It was a tough look for a couple that seemed so solid. By July 2025, Jamie actually dropped the California case, and everything moved to the Utah courts where the records are mostly under seal.
Why Did They Break Up?
People love to speculate. Was it the fame? The drinking? The "culture vulture" labels that Posty famously took to heart?

In truth, Post Malone admitted that his lifestyle was a "turd" move early in the relationship. He’d disappear for a week at a time. He credits Jamie with helping him slow down, but maybe the damage was done. Or maybe it was just the "touring musician" curse. He spent 2024 and 2025 on the road for F-1 Trillion, and being a "girl dad" from a tour bus is a recipe for strain.
The 2025 Settlement and Where Things Stand Now
As of late 2025, the smoke has cleared. Post Malone and Jamie Park reached an official settlement regarding custody and child support. We don't know the dollar amounts—Utah likes its privacy—but we know they’re co-parenting.
Posty is still gushing about his daughter in interviews. He told GQ she’s a "hilarious little squirt" who loves Paw Patrol and George Strait. He’s obsessed with the fact that she likes steel guitar. It seems like, despite the legal drama, the two have found a rhythm that works for the sake of the kid.
Jamie has largely retreated back into her private life. She isn't chasing the spotlight. She isn't posting "tell-all" TikToks. In a world of clout-chasing exes, that’s actually pretty refreshing.
Actionable Takeaways for Fans
If you're following the Post Malone and Jamie Park saga, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Respect the Privacy: Posty was right about one thing—his daughter didn't choose this life. Avoid digging for "DDP's" full name or photos.
- Watch the Music: Post has hinted that he writes songs for his partner that he’s too shy to play. With two new albums rumored for 2026, keep an ear out for lyrics about "the light in the dark."
- Legal Precedent: This case is a textbook example of why "home state" jurisdiction matters in celebrity custody. If a child lives in one state for six months, that’s usually where the case stays.
The era of Jamie Park and Post Malone as a couple is over, but as co-parents, the story is just beginning. It’s a reminder that even for the guy who has everything, family is the one thing you can't just buy a "Congratulations" for.
