February is a special month characterized by double blessings–we get to celebrate Black culture and love at the same time. This month was so full of Black love that we had the honor of witnessing engagements, public displays of love from some of our favorite celebrity couples, and blooming relationships among the Black LGBTQ+ community.
Before the month ends, we had to do a recap and highlight some of our favorite Black love moments of February. Although Black History Month and Valentine’s Day are about to be in the rearview, Black love lives on!

Yes, we’re tooting our own horn. This was a special moment as actress Niecy Nash and musician Jessica Betts were the first same sex couple to cover ESSENCE magazine, and they made it a difficult cover to top. The pair had an intimate wedding amid the pandemic in 2020 and have been giving us all the feels since.
