Houston rap veteran and Trill Burgers cofounder Bun B recently sat down with Angie Martinez to share the unexpected path that led him to officiate Eve and Maximillion Cooper’s wedding. The conversation revisited the couple’s early connection, the role of the Gumball 3000 rally in their relationship, and the moment Bun B learned he would help formalize their union.
Bun B first met Eve and Cooper during the Gumball 3000, the 3,000-mile international rally that attracts celebrities and auto enthusiasts from across the globe. Eve and Bun B bonded during their early years on the rally, both navigating the high-energy event without many familiar faces. Their friendship placed Bun B in a unique position to witness the chemistry that developed between Eve and Cooper, whose relationship began during one of the rally’s early runs.
As Eve and Cooper’s connection deepened, Bun B remained a close observer, watching the pair move from friendship to partnership while navigating cultural differences, blended family dynamics, and the fast-paced environment that originally brought them together.
When the couple became engaged, they planned a legal ceremony in London but also wanted a symbolic celebration at the end of the Gumball rally in Ibiza. Both independently created a list of people they wanted to officiate the symbolic ceremony, and Bun B’s name appeared on both lists. He accepted the role, became ordained, and prepared for an intimate beachfront gathering attended by close family and Cooper’s children.
The ceremony highlighted the couple’s efforts to build a unified family across cultures and continents. Eve formed close bonds with Cooper’s children, who embraced their blended household and the new traditions created through their shared experiences.
Bun B also reflected on how the couple’s partnership has evolved, noting their commitment to supporting each other’s careers, maintaining balance across multiple homes, and raising their son within the rhythm of their international lifestyle. Their family continues to participate in the rally that sparked their relationship, marking it as a recurring part of their shared story.
Through recounting the experience, Bun B emphasized the value of partnership, personal growth, and mutual support, principles that shape both Eve and Cooper’s marriage and his own. Their story, which began on an international rally course, stands out as an example of connection formed under unlikely circumstances and strengthened through intentional effort.
