Hughley and wife LaDonna, former NFL-running back Eddie George and wife Taj of SWV, Hip-Hop artist Styles P and wife Adjua, Actors Alano Miller and Dewanda Wise, NFL Linebacker Bart Scott and wife Starr, and more. The couples talk about how their relationships began, the road to the altar, life after children and all of the other obstacles they may have faced to make their marriages stronger than ever.
In addition, OWN will celebrate Mother’s Day with a “Black Love” special Motherly Love on Tuesday, May 8 at 10 p.m. celebrating the love and the bond that is shared between mothers and their children.
