Part 3 of Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne's Story airs Thursday, Dec. 19, at 10 P.M. on E!. Episodes will be available to stream on Peacock.

Last January, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, Cori Broadus, was busy planning her wedding to fiancé Wayne Duece when the unthinkable happened: At just 24 years old, she suffered a severe stroke. “I was celebrating at a party, and then the next day, I’m in the hospital,” she recalls to Us. Family members, including her music legend dad and his wife of 27 years, her mom Shante, 53, rushed to her side. “It’s hard for me to revisit that day,” says Snoop, also 53. “Anyone who knows me knows my daughter is my kryptonite.”

It wasn’t Broadus’ first health crisis. At 6, she was diagnosed with lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease. And in 2021, she revealed in an Instagram post that she had tried to take her own life while battling depression. The stroke was an especially powerful wake-up call for her and her loved ones. “I think it really scared everyone,” the 25-year-old singer and founder of Choc Factory cosmetics says. “You know, a stroke is no joke. It brought me and my family closer, [seeing] that anything can happen in a snap of a finger.”

Duece and Broadus dated for five years before he proposed in November 2022.
