Honoring Black Love

February is the month where we celebrate black history and love. So I decided to combine the two and make my own list of celebrity couples that I admire and respect. Here's my top 15. Who will be number one? Surely you already know that answer.

First- Honorable Mentions:

Shanice and Flex




Alexis and Kanye



Holly and Rodney





On with the countdown.


15. Kimora and Djimon




I love them together. This couple makes far more sense than Kimora and Russell together. Sorry Kiki, one day your African prince will come.

14. Kelis and Nas



Nas complements Kelis' quirky while she simmers down his gangsta. Whether or not you agree with his new project, you have to admit that they are bringing commitment back to the forefront.

13. Alicia and Kerry



Although she hasn't admitted it, Kerry Brothers is always at Alicia's side. In the studio, on the red carpet, or a charity event. They glow when they're around one another.


12. Mary and Kendu



Yes, I'm still bitter that we will never have another angry Mary cd, but I wouldn't trade seeing Mary J. Blige happy for a cd.

11. Keisha and Omar



What About Us? Keisha Spivey from Total doesn't have to ask that question anymore. She found her happily ever after as Mrs. Omar Epps.

10. Don Cheadle and Brigid Coulter



They've been together for over ten years and share two children. Although they are not officially married, they share a spiritual bond that does not appear to be breaking anytime soon.

9. Keisha and Forrest Whitaker




Class and sophistication comes to mind when I see this couple.

8. Larry and Gina



This marriage broke my mother's heart. However, they make a beautiful couple.


7. Janet and Jermaine



Say what you will. Make all the short jokes you like. Janet and Jermaine are truly happy.


6. Beyonce and Jay-Z



I have to echo the same note for Beyonce and Jay-Z, they are making commitment back.

5. Angela and Courtney



A modern day Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis. They are a perfect example for couples to mirror.

4. Cookie and Magic



I admire their perseverance, in spite of, HIV, this couple has managed to stay together for better or worse.

3. Pauletta and Denzel



He's Denzel. She hooked Denzel. I stand in awe.

2. Jada and Will



They ooze love. They beam with the love they feel for one another.

1. Michele and Barack



Come on now, you know our future President and First Lady would make the list.


Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
