It's a beautiful thing when two people can come together and TRULY love one another. To SugahKissez, i'm sure she found plenty of guys when she was not online but as you can see this is the guy for her. I met my fiance' while casually visiting Black Planet.com so don't be so quick to judge honey, Just be happy for her.

@REALROXANNE just because a person is mixed does not mean they are attractive look at richard pryor daughter and tiny (T.I. wife) they mixed and not all that attractive. black women claimed black men date outside they race so they can have mixed babies with good hair . yet its the black women who praises biracial babies

Love is Love! Race *** be the factor and if it is then you have a problem within yourself!! LOVE THY NEIGHBOR, is what it says. There is no stipulations or limitations unless you do that to yourself! People are so judgemental but you will have your time with HIM and HE will judge yall like yall doin them. Hating on they love its a shame!!


the_disputed_truth

Some of you really have issues. How does her husband's race affect you? I mean really! Seek psychotherapy ASAP.


IwllAlwysluvU

Awe what a cute couple


ChocolateMama

What the hell is good hair? If your hair isn't straight, long and flowy then you have bad hair?! WTF! Good hair is kinky locks with natural twist. Good hair is a throwback fro evened out or not. Who is to judge what "Good Hair" is White America? I mean come on!!!!!!!


Juicy_Dee

If she luv him then it's all good with me....congrats!


KayJay508

Congrats, good for her especially if it is indeed TRUE LOVE. Cuz we all know that *** is rare nowadays.

LuckyS

Match.Com??? Well if she loves it/him, than am happy for her. Congrats.

Tastysis

Danielboon

LOL...I hear u and u r right on soooo many levels however Essence is Bi-racial which means that one of her parents r white so its only natural to her to be attracted to and fall in love with her husband!


Tastysis

Emmetmaya85

U need to stfu! Every black man isn't like your old uncle tom azz! Some black men actually respect, love, and marry their ladies! I should know.... I have one!!!! Don't hate black on black love! Lol


RhoyaleGold

Beans206

Congrats!!!!


Beans206

Yes, Beans says Congrats


EliteSista

MATCH.COM?!?!?!?!?!

I refuse! Some of you guys have issues. If you can't find someone within your race, maybe it's how you are treating others or how you carry yourself. Geez, finding a Black man/woman is not that hard.


sicilatina

Congrats! She looks beautiful! I can't believe she's 37, she looks like she's in her early 20's! Thats whats up, got her some Boriqua!! People mag said they had Pernil & Mac&chesse at the wedding! Yum lol


Bulletproof_Loafers

Im not mad she's with a hispanic dude. It makes no sense to be salty about something as trivial as that. I could never be that bitter of a person. Some people are just pathetic and miserable.


chiefrunninwater

Its really a shame..... most black guys seem to be easily influenced and are followers.... really the same type of personalities over and over... thug,joker,playboy,hater,wannabe lawyer,ill mannered,dope dealer, rapper, use black women for a place to eat and stay, dont use condoms..... Aaaaaauuuuuuggghhhhh h!!! very few decent black men.... but the women are just as stupid.... i try to talk to people about this at work... i do my part to help my people but i am 1 person....


sesspool

Congratulations Honey!! Gorgeous!!


Empress8

Congrats. He's cute. @daniel boon, ur right, blck marriages on the rise. I still believe in blck love. :)


xiaolajiao

I found a great dating site___sugarscupid. c O m____. The best dating club for seeking the rich singles, sexy beauties and even hot celebs.. what's the most important is that you dont have to be a millionaire.but you can meet one. I think everyone need to meet some miracle after all the terrible stuff in the news and the economy. What's kind of relationship do you want?


chi-hop

LATIN IS NOT A RACE FOOLS!!


Trulee

@clarkthink Lemme find out your sn should be 'carlos'think! lol


lilbuddhameditation

Love is love no matter what race it is. Statistics say that 50 percent of black women will never be married. Which is sad. We need to demand to be more than babys mamas. So by all means if black men continue to stall then replace them.


Trulee

@'carlito'think Ayyyy, yo no se, Ju spee sponeesh a leedu too goo mang!! LOL!

Ransomed

Black women do what you must. I'm married to a black man but the one's like him are few and far. They don't appreciate us so I suggest you give others the opportunity to wine, dine and LOVE you! Go Essence, beautiful couple!

MANSEMINOLE

Well her mother is afro-dominican and her father is Italian. That guy looks like he is afro-hispanic, but he is definately afro-mixed something, or looks it.


dallasgurl04

um...is it me or does he look like rick fox


SexxyT

CONGRATS, hope it last. Me personally, don't believe in internet dating. Can't trust the men you've known since pre-school. What does the husband do, I know he does something. Times too hard to marry a broke man.


AdorableAnthony

Go girl lmao


smileygirl

@danielboon300: I BET YOU ARE WHITER THAN WHITE. LMAO. Go ahead and spill your racists garbage and antics because you think it's going to make BW wanna converse with u. HAHAHA. Stupid

moneyhungry

He is fine, congratulations

MTO you all are no better than Fox News

Racist basterds...


ssljc

can you believe she met her husband on one of those dating internet sites


BlackIsis

Met mine online 7 years ago and were still together...online dating is what they call it but we both lived in the Same city so once we met online it continued in person as a regular courtship....its not so far fetched...we met on blackplanet which is free and I think you have to pay a fee for match.com...ill be damned if I shell out some money to meet a n*gga! Lol


Maria7532

Who the hell are black women supposed to marry? if black men marry none black women, they have no other choice, but to marry out side their race. Essence looks like she has Latin blood.


mamidee

Now if it was the other way around a *** with a banging *** spanish chick ninety percent of the blw up here would be hatin hard. However as a latina I always give credit to where it's do, and she by far is a pretty blw. So if she likes em hot and spicy do your thang mama, ne ways can't nobody give u loving like a latino. Get it girl!


pinkdiamondprincezz

good for her


Dimndnthruff

He's as black as she is. Congrats!


PrincessRiri4Life-UK

Y'all really need to get off of this mixed people BS. ***, y'all are like a dog with a bone. Not everybody who says a mix baby is cute, is saying it simply because they are mix. Maybe,-GASP-they just think the baby is cute. If these were two attractive black people and somebody said, 'They will have cute babies,' would you assume they're saying it b/c they are black? Why ASSume a person is saying these two will have cute babies simply b/c they are a mix couple? I really can't figure out for the life of me why blacks hate on mix people.


sweetpea1

Congrats! He is muy calente!


The_Shoparazzi

he looks like a con man. i dont trust him.


kees

awww, congratulations!



PrincessRiri4Life-UK

Please. 'You can't trust people you meet online?' Hell, you can't trust the fools you meet in person. Just look at that basketball player that was killed by his HO. I bet he never thought in a millions years she would be capable of something like that. Everytime I turn on the news, somebody is killing or robbing somebody. Everyday people 'pay' for the fools they let into their lives. Also, Eharmony is by far the best place to meet mates. Most people who go on those things are looking for serious relationships and they weed out the losers for you.


DMoorz

HELL 2 DA NAW! NOT MATCH.COM!


sxylitenig

ya'll sure that's her husband and not her father


emmettmays85

@ Ransomed if black men dont dont appreciat ya'll why u married one? i have nothing against women who date interracially just dont blame us *** for your problems


CWpiggy

Match.com? R U Serious? We all strive for happiness so congrats to both of them...wow, Match.com. OK.

@Mamidee..*** stop lying to yourself and trying to act like you cool with it cuz everybody knows you Spanish hoes are the most jealous threatened *** on the planet when your dudes go out of your race..BW don't have to hate on you tramp everything you think you got we got triple so don't let a few videos blow your head up HOE!


HotChocolate49

How do you say congratulations in Spanish


adoreangel

@emmettmays85 u need to stop bashin every1 on here & get some self esteem. plenty of white men loooove some black women!! maybe if u luvd urself, som1 else wud 2!!


emmettmays85

@adoreangel keep dreamin i know plenty of white guys that dont find black women attractive at all . also im not bashin nobody i dont see u gettin on these women bashin black men


smileygirl

@EMMETT: LMAO, Yes Indeed


smileygirl

@ Emmitt: I've known a few white guys that like black women, sad part is they were drug addicted, alcoholic, thieves that the ladies could've done much better than. Women tend to like train wrecks. Thinking that if the guy changes for the better she can claim a prize?! No one changes that doesn't want to change. Why do people act like all the good educated black men are gone? Do you not know how many black universities there are? Students are attending at record numbers from the past 15 years. There's more BM in college than prison.


smileygirl

Also, the people bashing BM for dating outside their race saying that they hate themselves, y aren't you bashing the men tht didn't love themselves enough to stay out of prison? People make mistakes, and sometimes prison gets people's act right, but they didn't show enough love for themselves to go get an education. I'm just saying, stop saying their aren't enough men out there because they're not chasing after you. Maybe the "bashers" can't get a man is b/c of the common denominator, you.And I am strictly speaking to the bashers. Most open-minded, self-respecting ladies can keep a man.


AroundTheWayGirl

She look like she could be a daughter of Ms. Ross.



Honeyluv88

Congrats!! Hope it's a long lasting, loving union.


VicSage

She is so *** sexy...True Talk.


bajanbaby_995

HAUTECOCO

Honestly, how many of you would have even known he wasn't "African-American" if his name wasn't Spanish? STFU! Dude is Black as far as I'm concerned. Quit ***.
