He resides in Charlotte, North Carolina. Rodney lives a very private life. He came into the highlight at the end of January 2022 after he came in front to talk about his daughter's ultimate death.

He believes family dysfunction to be the cause of his daughter's death

His beloved daughter Cheslie committed suicide on the 30th of January, 2022 jumping from a 60-story high-rise apartment building in Midtown Manhattan. 

She was 30. Rodney believes the family dysfunction may have caused his daughter Cheslie to take such a big step. 

During a phone call conversation with the reporter, he said that his daughter was pure and neither took any d*ugs or prescribed medication nor had any substance abuse problem. 

He added that it had a lot to do with family dysfunction, but it would be a while before they could talk more. He confessed she was sad.

His marriage to his first wife fell apart when Cheslie was young 

Rodney was married to an African-American wife, April Simpkins, a former Mrs. North Carolina US 2002. She was crowned Mrs. North Carolina when Cheslie was 11 years old. 

However, the couple's marriage could not last long, and they ended up splitting when Cheslie was young. 

April is currently the chief human resources officer of Totalhr. Before leaving the world, Cheslie left a note leaving everything to her mother, April, who was a role model.

He shared four children with his ex-wife

Rodney and his ex-wife together shared four children, and since their beloved daughter is no more in this world, they now have three children together, two sons, Asa and Chandler, and a daughter Paige. 

His son Asa Kryst is an athlete. He is a professional soccer player, and his daughter Paige is a hairstylist who runs a hair salon for natural hair in Charlotte. 

Chelsie had two more brothers, Jet and Brooklyn, born to her mother with her now-husband David Simpkins.

Cheslie's shared a beautiful father's day message dedicated to him and her stepfather

Cheslie shared a beautiful father's day message in 2020, wishing her father and stepfather a happy father's day. 

In her video, she said her father introduced her and her siblings to athletics taking them to the track every weekend when they were young. 

Cheslie and her siblings spent their childhood listening to the endless stories of their father's body-building days. 

At the same time, she got inspiration from her stepdad to do pro bono work. Her stepfather held the Bible for her when she was sworn in as an attorney in North Carolina. 

She credited both her fathers for believing her and shaping her into who she was.

Cheslie had been trying to maintain her mental health for a very long time

Since being crowned with the Miss USA title 2019, Cheslie has been enduring body shaming, online bullies, and trolls. 

She was frequently taunted for being too old. She had talked about being body-shamed and being compared to other beauty queens. 

Due to the constant trolling and age shaming, Cheslie was bound to delete comments on her social media pages. 

The comments would include vomiting emojis and insults telling her she was not beautiful enough to be Miss USA and that her body was a man's body. 

Such kind of comments was affecting her mental health. 

In her previous interview, she had confessed to doing a lot of things to maintain her mental health, and talking to the counselor was the most important thing she had done.

On her turning 30 last year, she had written that turning 30 felt like a cold reminder that she was running out of the time to matter in society's eyes which was infuriating.
