Parents

Dr. Dre (father)
Andre Romelle Young (Dr.Dre) was born on February 18th, 1965. He is an American Rapper, actor, record producer, audio engineer, and entrepreneur known as Dr.Dre.
He started his career in 1985 through World Class Wreckin’ Crue. He received fame by joining the group NWA (a group that expressed the details of violence of street life through hip hop). Dr. Dre has won 6 Grammy Awards for his music.
Michel’le Toussaint (mother)
Born on December 5, 1970, Michel’le Denise Toussaint is an American R&B singer. Michel’le first met Dr.Dre in 1987 when she was 17 years old.
She worked as a featured vocalist in World Class Wreckin’ Crue’s Turn Off the Lights. Later Michel’le and Dr.Dre started dating & ended their relationship in 1996.
Michel’le stated that one of the reasons for their split up was that he was engaged to someone else. The other was domestic violence.
Because of the above causes, Michel’le started taking prescription pills and alcohol. This worsened her condition even more.
In essence to that, it was then when Suge Knight stepped in and helped Michel’le by sending her for rehabilitation. Later, in 1999, Michel’le married Suge Knight while he was in prison.
Suge and Michel’le have a daughter together named Bailei Knight. However, after 7 years, Michel’le filed for divorce.
As the procedures for divorce took place, Michel’le realized that the marriage was not significant. Because Suge was still married to his ex-wife Sharitha.
In 2013, Michel’le appeared on R & B Divas as a cast member. She was also the subject of the Biographical film in 2016 named Surviving Compton: Dre.Dre, Suge, and Michel’le.
Marcel has 6 siblings from his father’s side and one from his mother’s.

Bailei Knight
Born on November 28th, 2002, Bailei Knight is the daughter of Michel’le Toussaint and Suge Knight. However, she hasn’t met her father that many times because of the frequent legal issues.
Bailei and Marcel are very close to each other, and in an interview, she described Marcel as a caring person. So we can assume that Marcel cares for her a lot through this.
Relationships
As of now, there is no news of Marcel Young being married or in any relationships. However, he doesn’t fancy the limelight yet.
Hopefully, if he gets married or is in a relationship, his mother will tip us off for him. Because she loves boosting her Instagram galleries with her children.
Unlike Marcel, his father, Dr. Dre, has been in numerous relationships and breakups for decades. Dr. Dre started dating Cassandra Joy Green in 1981.
Next, he dated Lisa Johnsons, and in 1988 he dated Jenita Porter. Finally, he got engaged to Michel’le in 1987, but they split up in 1996.
In 1996, Dr. Dre married Nicole Threatt (the former wife of the basketball player Sedale Threatt) and Divorced her in 2021. Besides these women, Dre has dated quite a few more women whose identities are yet not revealed.
Health Issues
As of 2022, Marcel Young has not faced any life-threatening or critical health issues. But, conversely, Dre, his father, recently met one.
On January 5th, 2021, Dre was hospitalized in the ICU of Cedars’ Sinai Medical Center for his Brain Aneurysm. A brain aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disorder where the blood vessels bulge in the brain (looking like a cherry hanging on a stem).
This condition can worsen and even cause bleeding in the brain. Dr. Dre was released in February 2021 and made an official post thanking the hospital staff for taking good care of him.
When he was in the hospital, there was an attempted robbery in his house. During his suffering, he was supported by LL Cool J, Ellen DeGeneres, LeBron James, Quincy Jones, Martin Lawrence, and many more.
Similarly, Michel’le faced many health issues when she was dating Dr. Dre. For example, in an interview, she revealed that her nose was broken because of domestic violence, and she got it fixed surgically.
Breakage of ribs, Black eyes, and beatings were a few more issues she faced.
Career
The field where Marcel works and his work has been kept private until 2022. Because Marcel doesn’t like being in the limelight.
However, as we analyzed Michel’les’ Instagram account, there were comments about not seeing Marcel in the studio these days. Therefore, it may be referred to as he works in the studios behind the cameras.
Or it may be the other way, with Marcel accompanying her mother to the studio for recordings. We can assume that he lives a smooth and normal everyday life despite his celebrity parents.
In 2016, Marcel was featured in Surviving Compton’s film: Dre, Suge, and Michel’le. It is a film that portrays his mother’s struggles and survival from the violence.
