    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.

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz. They have been together for 10 plus years. They met when they were teenagers in New York City. I love this couple and the way they look at each other with smiles. I read Alicia Keys’ book and I love the woman that she became. Swizz is laid back and you can see how they both have matured and grown together as one of my favorite couples.

    I saw in an interview or video that they barely argue. They talk to each other and that’s what couples need, that great communication. They inspire a lot of couples, and I love that they are each other’s number 1 fan. They support each other and they also step out of the box and try new things. You always see them being open-minded to what each other wants to try.

    I love the song Blended families and how they blended their families together to be happy. I hope they continue to be blessed and share many more years. Keep inspiring the world with great music and showing love.

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Denzel & Paulette Washington. They have been together 39 years or more. Every relationship has its ups and downs but being able to get through it together is a plus.

    I love this couple. Did you know they first met on the set of the 1977 TV movie Wilma? Every interview I have seen they speak of each other’s greatness, and you can still see that spark between the two. Here is some of the quotes Denzel shared with us:

    ·         “The Secret To A Happy Marriage? Do Whatever Your Wife Tells You. Yes, Dear.’ And Breathe”

    ·         “A Spiritual Foundation Helps Everything, Marriage, Work, & Peace of Mind”

    This month I wanted to shout out to this couple and give them their roses and to tell them to have many many more. Thanks for showing us how a couple can manage in this industry.  It’s always good to be good friends first. They built a family and every step of the way they were each other’s number 1 fan.
