“We both took failing at marriage hard,” Wade explains. “The next time it’s gotta be forever.
Union, who next stars in Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds, echoes her boyfriend’s sentiments. “When it happens, it’s going to be something that only our friends and family know about,” the 39-year-old actress tells Essence. “That is, unless the E! Network comes up with the right number, of course.”

In an interview with Vogue Italia, the new aunt spoke about becoming Rimmel’s first black spokesperson.

Solange is finishing up her third album. “There are a lot of songs about sex,” she confessed to V magazine. “It’s the kind of record you put on when your man is coming over, when you’re with your girls. There are songs that make you wanna dance because we were kind of partying our way through the record, but it’s very chill.”
