Hey Loves,
It’s that sweet time of year again, and we’re here to celebrate Black Love Day! Observed on February 13th, the day before Valentine’s Day, Black Love Day is all about uplifting Black culture, self-love, and the beauty of connection.
Real talk—we did a quick Google search, and lo and behold, this beautiful day popped up! But let’s be clear, Black love has always been worth celebrating. From resilience to joy, Black couples have stood strong through history, overcoming the deep scars of slavery that tore families apart and navigating the perils of systemic racism. Yet, love prevails.
So today, we’re shining a light on some of our favorite celebrity couples who inspire us with their love, commitment, and legacy.
For this post, we went with just 18. We know that there are more, help us out, send us more Black Love!
