Actually before that, my brother in law is the finest hard working man, who is a treasure that no money or gold can buy. God took his time in creating my brother in law a MASTERPIECE. A man of INTEGRITY,A HEART OF GOLD, A MIND OF A GENIUS, A POWERFUL VOICE so that we he sat in the bleachers or on the sidelines his son's could hear his voice cheering them on. A Father who taught his boys and only daughter about LOVE,RESPECT &HONESTY. There are good men out there and my family has been blessed many times over the day my sister married him a Young black man into our Native American family.

While I don't know them personally, the talk of the neighborhood was that they were always a solid couple. Despite those videos, LL ALWAYS kept his reputation tight! He was very young when he started, and as he once said, he "sowed His MILD oats!" But compared to some of my other brothers in Hip Hop, he kept his business OFF of Front Street. Admirable then and now! LOVE TO ALL OF MY HIP HOP BROTHERS AND SISTERS!💜

I met LL Cool J during the Essence Festival many years ago (2001-2003?) and I had all those "Ladies Love Cool J" thoughts about meeting him. When he said hello Sis and was polite enough to hug me, I knew that this was a honorable and beautiful Man of God! He had the love of Christ for his fans and that was so clear. I have never looked at him as "that symbol" since. They are a beautiful God fearing family and an awesome example of what is possible when you put God first! Blessings to him and his wife and family! Real talk.

The love of CHRIST? He's a nice man,but that's not God's will for Anyone to place themselves in PLACE of IDOLatry like all these movie star's do.

[@chevyboy2066]

LL is always cool. His wife is beautiful and they look happy so isn't that the whole point. 25yrs man, I'm on 15 so I hope I get to that point.

[@whatnowwomandamn8055]

LL and Simone, a true beautiful couple.

[@showmethedammovie]

His look when Oprah brought up that old dirt. Classic!!

[@lionelkennedy1394]

IKR! Now that he's a mature man wants to forget about it all

[@zoomiesblacks9731]

men like him and morris chestnut. u just go with the flow and dont stress a man. u see how the relationship flow nicely and last longer. respect is the key

[@mat-4636]

One of my favorite Rap artist of all time, an old school, Icon that paved the way for a lot of rappers today, much respect to you LL and your wife for hanging in there and working through your problems, God bless you both.

LL Cool J is a legend. Salute to him and his family!

LL, keep being the example that young black men need to see in this society because you represent something that is almost non-existent these days. Salute to the G.O.A.T.

[@813blackangel]

Let guess, you're the man he slept with so YOU KNOW? SMH, some people will believe anything.

[@kenzieversace9337]

I have lots of friends who are exotic dancers in Miami who say he loves young gay dudes and is often seen at tribal parties

+Analee Constance girl u re crazy as hell. Leave the Internet pls! It's nothing for u

[@uzomah821]

Lindsay Hilton once again gossip! They may say a similar thing about you. You wouldn’t like that! I think it is ALWAYS best to not say what WE don’t know! Plus, if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say nothing! That’s a real good practice to follow! Try that! Just encouraging to treat others as you want to be treated!

I'm so glad she said this. "Picking battles" thank you.

[@sharon18334]

LL cool j was a favourite rapper of ours in the 1980s he admired girls in the hood. LL married girl from hood and has been married to same woman forever. She got cancer Andrew said he was a great husband and flew home faithfully to help take care of her. She said ladies all the nice things you think about him is true as her husband. He is real not fake.

[@niab.3600]

When she touches his face and says "That's my baby" awwww 😊💕 I believe her!

[@sonjadf47]

He’s a very mature man and his wife is beautiful. They’ve been together from high school? They are meant to be together from the time they met! Glad to hear she’s cancer free! Congratulations to you both. Keep that forever love. It’s so crucial, especially in the African American community!

[@jennibug973]

I'm glad he chose family in the end.

[@koreyterry9984]

This display of a strong grounded family paints a beautiful portrait of what God can do when you keep the faith and walk in belief of his word. Much respect, and best wishes on continual success.

[@missadug]

Aww, that's so great! I love that they put God first and not afraid to say that! I pray they continue to have a great marriage and continue to love God and each other.

[@Sweetteesc1]

I am so happy for them! I don't know them, never met them, but it does my heart good to see a man stand by and with his family. Especially a black man! I hope they're together until the end of time. God Bless them and keep them. Love it!

[@diggingdarling6256]

And a man that finds a faithful wife

[@jewels3596]

I knew I always loved LL for a reason since back in the day! No matter how 'cool, sexy', successful' he was...there has ALWAYS been a sense of humility with him. SO RELATABLE! People need to know that show biz people CAN make an AWESOME marriage work for the long haul!

[@tiffanyhollins4624]

I had never seen this. Very good to see love and marriage in such a positive manner. Thanks for sharing.

[@octaviakf]

That was cute I almost got emotional watching this at work. I just love black love beautiful not saying any other love is not beautiful but just saying with all the stereotypes out there pertaining to both black men and woman its good to see such a hansome man settle down and actually be faithful when i know its not easy. Because when you're in relationship and youre happy so many folks try and come between that. And to see them after so many years strong and in love holding eachother down like that is just beautiful. to me at least

[@motherjean2920]

octaviakf yes it IS a beautiful thing to see not just to you but to GOD. it was refreshing to watch this video. People don't want to hear it but I will say it until I die GOD IS THE KEY INGREDIENT TO A LONG AND WONDERFUL MARRIAGE. Of course u will have problems but He will help u to navigate thru them...I'm talking from experience. The devil thru EVERYTHING at our marriage (even the kitchen sink) as they say. Heck he threw a couple of sinks along with the stove and refrigerators....but to God's Word I held on. Was talked about, called stupid by my family, people at work and even the church people NOT THE SAINT but the church people but I kept holding on to His promises. Next January we will be celebrating 30 years together Glory to God! And all of those that put used their mouths against us are either asking us to pray with them or they are just speechless. He will do it if u allow Him to but u have to stand still and KNOW that HE is God. Don't try to fix things yourself cuz that's when the mess becomes messier. Let the one that holds all power and dominion handle it and He promises u will no longer be the victim but the Victor. God bless!

[@adriennecureton1392]

I love him not only bcuz I think he is the sexiest man alive (for 25 years straight), But more so bcuz of the love and respect he has for his wife, He never cheated on her and you never ever hear about them in the tabloids.

[@sandic.7948]

Relationships in general and marriages, in particular; are so very hard... It is wonderful to see a celebrity couple, making it work! I really loved the part of the interview, where they gave respect to putting God 1st in their relationship... I have often seen him and his family attend my church in New York... Wonderful!***

[@sherilkahenry3766]

:)

[@mrs.fredrick_]

I have no clue why people always say marriage is hard. Marriage was not created to be hard. Its actually a benefit in more ways than I'm willing to share. If you think marriage is hard you're married to the wrong person or shouldn't go into a marriage with that expectation.

[@johnsonke9509]

[@Whitebrowpriest]

God bless 'em! It's good to see couples where one or both are celebrities and that "celebrity" aspect doesn't ruin the marriage like it so often does. Simone said a key thing in why they have survived as a couple all these years; they "put God first"! Pow!
