Back in the day, Aaron Hall, along fellow Guy group members, Teddy Riley and Damion Hall, had women everywhere swoonin’ over them and their classic joints, like “Groove Me,” Piece Of My Love,” and even Aaron’s single, “I Miss You.” Fast forward to today – the females now want a ‘piece of’ Aaron’s 23 year old son and are leaving all types of ‘Hey Zaddy’ comments for him online.
Before we show y’all just how fast time has flown by with Aaron Hall’s sex-symbol son, let us give a lil’ insight into the oftentimes patchy past between Aaron and his son’s Moms. By the way, many of us Old Schoolers may remember Aaron’s ex as the principle video model in hit rap videos, such as Jay Z and UGK’s “Big Pimpin,'” for example.
In 2014, Aaron Hall made the relationship between himself, his son, and the mother of his child, Gloria Velez, VERY public in an interview with Vlad TV. He said he’d met Gloria in a club around 1995, and that three days later she had his name tattooed right above her bikini line (if y’all catch my drift).
During that same interview, Aaron Hall also disclosed that he loves his son very much, but unfortunately he hadn’t seen him in 15 years. The good news is that now, they have reconnected and appear to have a cool father/son relationship…
Meet Their Adult Son
In the mid 90’s, Aaron Hall and Gloria Velez’s son, Aaron IV, looked like this…

Geesh! ‘Father Time’ has straight up pressed the fast forward button on us, right? Aaron IV is no longer the youngin’ we remember him as, he’s a grown man out here doing big things in this world…
Aaron Hall IV
With his Moms being a a former video model and his Pops being an R&B legend, it was only natural for Aaron IV to follow in his parents entertainment footsteps somehow. He is now a rapper, who goes by the name King Swazey, and he’s also a personal trainer.
Aaron Hall IV
Like we mentioned earlier, the rocky past Aaron IV had with his pops, Aaron Hall, has clearly mended. What’s even cooler about their reunion, is that Aaron Hall has opened up an avenue for his son to gain musical knowledge, by allowing him to tour with Guy on the road…

That was evident by 2015, because Aaron IV was already on tour with his dad and his group, Guy.

What’s Up With Gloria Velez These Days…
Although the clock sped up for Aaron IV’s massive growth spurt into manhood, for his moms, Gloria Velez, it seemed to have stalled.
Gloria Velez now
Gloria Velez is still a banger, and damn near looks the exact same as she did in ’99 when she was rockin’ the string bikinis in Ja Rule’s “Holla Holla” video…
Not sure what she does for a living at the moment, but in her spare time she lets it be know that she loves to work out to keep her 42 and fabulous sexy swag on point…
Glad to see that the three of them have forgiven and moved forward.
