| Will and Jada |
The Hollywood power couple that met on the set of the Fresh Prince are the epitome of glamour and success. He is a box office powerhouse and she a renaissance woman that compliments him perfectly. Recent rumors of their separation haven't been proven but their timeless passion is undeniable.

| Nelson and Winnie Mandela |
Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison in South Africa for his opposition to the cruel injustice of apartheid. Who stood by his side throughout it all, Winnie Mandela. She the strong unbending woman never gave up the fight to see her husband released. Their divorce was one of the few break-ups that surprised me. Yet nothing can outshine the significant political changes they made that changed the world forever.

| Barrack and Michelle Obama |
The ultimate couple. They changed the world with the historical presidential win but what they represent as a black couple is astronomical. They rebut and dispute every myth about a relationship between a black man and a black woman.
