    Donnie & Pamela Simpson

    By: Cece Hymes

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Donnie & Pamela Simpson.  They have been together 47 years or more. That is a long time, but they still seem very happy. Donnie Simpson always talks about his wife on the radio and in interviews. I like that he includes her in everything.

    I had a chance to interview him and have him on the Cover of one of my Magazines. That was a happy moment for me because I am from D.C. I read on one of Donnie post on IG where he stated on their anniversary:

    “Today is a very special day in my life. It was 50 years ago today that I asked Pam to “Go with me.” I didn’t know where we were going and I’m not sure we’re there yet, but I do know that I’ve loved the journey”

    I love to see relationships that’s been together for a long time. This day and time don’t last long. Couple Goals for real. Every relationship has its ups and downs, but they managed for 5 decades. I always say that your soulmate is your best friend. I know being in the music industry can be hard but this couple made it work and for that I want to give them their roses.

    Day 3

    Q. Tell us about a Moment from childhood that helped shape who you are.

    A. I would say watching my parents when they were young. They would argue and drink. I always told myself that I did not want those habits or to be like that. So today I barely drink and I do not smoke. Any relationship that I have we have to communicate. I am not big on arguing but to work it out.

    Q. Do you feel a relationship will work long term if he/she initially cheated on their significant other to be with you?

    A. First I would say that’s not a way to start a relationship off. You would always have in your head will he do the same to you. It can work. I have seen work in others. Especially if he/she was honest with you from the get-go. So that means they started off with honesty, which is good. It would be hard, but it could work.
