On July 27, 2012, Boogie proposed to Williams via YouTube video and was overjoyed when she said yes. When the couple married in 2013, a positive change appeared to come over Boogie. He credited Williams for his improved mental and physical health and stated that he wanted to get better for the sake of his wife as well as his own.
In April 2017, he announced his intention to have bariatric surgery as the final solution to his health issues. Boogie had become extremely obese, had type 2 diabetes, and weighed 587 pounds at his heaviest.
