popoff21

She was beautiful and sexy, she look like Tia & Tamera, as if she was their cousin


confetti

He is sexy. ***. Match.com here I come! rofl just playing. And ppatton *** the fck up. "If black men wont marry us consider other options" wouldnt that make your other option your SECOND CHOICE and not what you really want. I have no respect for the black betches like you. Youll never get a man from another race with that attitude. "Im dating you because a black man doesnt want me" wtf. Im black and im with a honduran/dominican and I cant stand it when BLACKS think im dating him because I couldnt get a black. I have no problem with some sexc dark chocolate but I have one with betches like u.


quitalsalex

They got married in 2007 and this will be her first child.

migypoo

IM MARRIED TO A LATINO MEN AND HAVE ALWAYS DATED THEM AND ONE THING I CAN SAY THEY DONT HAVE A PROBLEM BEING A MAN AND THEY ARE PROUD OF THEIR WOMEN AND THEY PUT THEIR FAMILIY FIRST! BLACK MEN HATE ON U IF U MAKE TO MUCH, THEY ALWAYS ACT NEEDY FOR ATTENTION AND IF U ARE TOO BUSY (BECUZ U ARE WORKING!) WELLLL THEY WILL SHOW UUU! THEY WILL JUST CHEAT ON U WITH SOMETHING THATS AVAILABLE! TOO MUCH DRAMA AND BABY MAMA MESS WHEN IT COMES TO THE BROTHAS! BLACK MEN SHOULD JUST BE THEMSELVES AND STOP TRYING SO HARD!


migypoo

IM MARRIED TO A LATINO MAN AND HAVE ALWAYS DATED THEM AND ONE THING I CAN SAY THEY DONT HATE THEIR WOMEN! PLUS ALOT OF THEM TAKE FAMILY SERIOUSLY! BLACK MEN WANT TO HATE ON U IF U MAKE MORE, NOT BUILD ON TOP OF WHAT U HAVE THEY ACT NEEDY FOR ATTENTION AND WHINE ALL THE TIME! MORE THAN BABIES THATS WHY THEY ARE JEALOUS OF THEM! THATS WHY THEY DONT TAKE CARE OF THEM! AVAILABLE! IM OLD SCHOOL A MAN SUPPOSE TO BE A MAN! FROM 2.00 AN HR. TO 200.00 AN HR.! BLACK MEN NEED TO STOP LOOKING FOR VALIDATION FROM WOMEN!


mabeline

Finally? So you all had her on a timer MTO? #Grimy#


migypoo

BLACK MEN NEED TO ALSO STOP ACTING LIKE GOD CURSED THEM FOR MAKING THEM MALE! THATS WHY ALOT OF THEM HAVE RAGGEDY LIVES BECUZ THEY LEAD THEM IN A WAY THAT MAKES GOD LOOK LIKE HE MADE A MISTAKE! BLACK MEN NEED TO BE THEIR OWN MAN AND BE PROUD! WITH OR WITHOUT! AND STOP TRYING TO ASPIRE TO BECOME SOME DUMB *** RAPPER! U HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES AS OTHER CULTURES! STOP LOOKING FOR *** AND HOOKUPS AND DO SOME REAL WORK! GET UR SELF RESPECT BACK INSTEAD OF EXPECTING IT TO BE GIVEN TO U!

leonshae89

Her husband is cute. But i didnt know her and tia nem were related. You can sorta tell.



christie_love

In that first pic,that is not Essence holding her belly.that is the 1991 Vanity Fair cover pic of when Demi Moore was pregnant with her middle daughter,Scout.


ILOVECUPCAKES

THIS IS GOOD NEWS


say_it_loud

She looks her age to me. Just alot of people commenting on here are really young. What do you expect a 39 year old black woman to look like? Im 30 and people are shocked by it but imo I look my age and how most black women look at 30 unless they've lived hard lives. When black people take care of themselves, they tend to age very well. She looks like a healthy 39 year old black woman to me. I can clearly see around her eyes that she's not under 35.


redeyez

Great looking hubby. Good for her. Best wishes.


HONEYTIARA

I never heard of her ... but she kinda favors tia and tamera mowry... mayb its jus me... CONGRATS ON THE NEW BABY !!! I HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL AND THEYRE HAPPY

MTO Y'all ain't first People Reported this the other day and having a child at 39 isn't a new phenomenon oscar winner patricia Neal had her youngest child at 39 in 1965 after surviving a series of strokes while pregnant or so did Jeanne Crain have her youngest child just before she turned 40 a couple of months earlier if Essence was 3 months when she announced she's due in february arond her 40th birthday


LetsBeReasonable

She looks good for 39! Wouldn't have guessed that at all.

BAY650Situated

emturner10

Ms Essence had her p*ss# clank clanked all these years. Until Mr Right showed up!


calmedcooled

smh @rage171 ...dude ... it's common to see blk male celebs w/a non blk woman. most blk female celebs date blk men ... but are opening up their options because of blk men lusting after the non blk woman. to each his/her own ...but don't cry because nobody is lashing out about her man not being blk. stfu. ;-)
