I loved the piece on Diddy and Kim Porter. It gave hope to us women who are in love with guys whom others see as less than perfect. The way he chose to end the interview was also superb. They make an amazing couple.

I enjoyed reading the story about Sean and Kim. It is very apparent that she loves Sean very much and realizes that he is not really ready for her because he still has a lot of growing up and maturing to do. So many men are going through the same thingonly they do not carry his wallet. (ha ha ha) It appears that he loves her because she is the type that do not jump hoops for him. That is the attraction for him. She is very pretty, mature and confident. Now that the twin girls have arrived. Sean willlearn what it is lik

If Diddy and Kim are Happy.. that's all that really matters. Marraige is overrated especially in today's society...so all haters out there.. live them alone.. stop being judgemental and let them enjoy their lives together. Peace!

Kim spoke about men maturing slower than women & when diddy is ready he'll let her know. What the hell is she thinking, if he's not mature & ready after almost 10 years of dating and 3 kids when will he be ready? She's tagging alone bind and stupid waiting on him to pop the question. Why does it has to be about when's he's ready to get married! And why do women compromise their morals for a man with money.

It would be the perfect ending to a fairytale if they got married. But "Diddy" should only do it if he is ready to commit fully to Kim and should be ashamed to be setting such a poor example for their children. How would he feel if some punk played his girls the way he played Kim. Thats what they world is missing today solid family values. Diddy should aim to do right take a page from Will & Jada Smiths' book.

I hope they get married, because that's a terrible example they're setting for their kids, especially the girls. He wouldn't want his girls to meet men that will treat them the same way he treated Kim.

Congrats on the Twins!!! What a way to end the year and bring the new year in with a bang. I wish you both the best. My daughter was born in December,and if you feel anything like my husband and I felt, which I'm more than positive that you do, It's the best Christmas gift ever. May your holiday be blessed and filled with happiest. May God Bless!!!!

We need to stop supporting people simply because they are black. Kim Porter is the sorriest black woman alive. For those of you who feel she's getting paid. First of all, if she took Sean to a court of law, I guarantee that she is not getting a quarter of what's coming to her and the children. That sort of mentality, at least she's getting something is the reason why black women get screwed by the men in their lives. Furthermore, J. Lo left him after he got involved with an incident at a nightclub, and like the village

Congratulations to Diddy and Kim on their new little angels. Children are a gift from God and regardless if they are married or not it is still a blessing. Yes it would be nice for them to be married but two people should not get married just because they have kids. Kids will not make a marriage work. Diddy and Kim do what works for you. People will judge you all day long and set expectations for others that they do not necessarily follow themselves. Let God be your guide and enjoy those babies.

there is no need for either to consider marriage for that should have been the driving factor before all the children if this was truly 'black love' please stop referring to this as 'black love'-they are not an example for our relationships - essence has once again disappointed...

It's very sad that this is what is considered to be "black love"! Remember he left Kim for Jennifer Lopez's, got dumped by Jennifer and is now back with Kim...making more babies. Sisters please wake up and realize that we deserve much better treatment!!!

Congratulations to the new additions to your family Diddy. Although I do not condone such behavior as having children out of wedlock, I do not think that two people should marry just because they have children. They should get marry if they feel that they love each other enough to. I also feel that if it is okay for half of the white celebrities to be prancing around on magazines celebrating their children born out of wedlock, why can't he. But for once it would be good for a black celebrity of Diddy statue to set an example

Congratulations Kim Porter & Sean Combs on your bundles of joy. Sean Combs, if u truly love your family & to set an example for your sons, u should make it right in the eyes of God.

It's very interesting that Tom Cruise thinks enough of Katey (the mother of 1 child) to marry her and Sean doesn't think enough of Kim (the mother of 3 of his children) to marry her. Sean, should show respect and love for Kim and the children and marry her. At the same time, Kim should have enough respect for herself and not allow this to go on.

Sorry ! Have to agree with those who believe that they should be married. Too many black children being born out of wedlock today... just because Diddy has money doesn't make it right that he can add to this negative statistic! Be a man! Do the right thing and make these children legitimate!!

Congratulations to Diddy and kim on the sfae arrival of the double blessing of having girls and twins. people are too eager to pass judgement on whether or not they should get married. whats more important is that Diddy is there for his families...and heis a role model to many men afraid of living a committed life.

Well I do agree that they should consider marriage but I am glad that they are together as oppose to him being with JLo or any other woman who is not african american. If she is in it for the money which I doubt then she should get paid better her than some blonde-blue eyes. But I think they ae both older and more responsible and that is what makes a better relationship.

I love my Essence reads, but I must say that it is time for us as a community to start focusing on actual role models that allow our youth and educated equals to discuss and embrace the morals and teachings that were once encouraged. There is absolutly nothing glamorous about reading on Kim Porter the baby making machine which openly chooses to stand around and try to justify her staying with Mr."Puffy" Combs. My goodness he doesn't feel that she is worth marrying. To me it's a joke. He is just trying tofind a way to have h

Essence has hit an all time low. These two are terrible role models for our children. I do not want my kids looking up to these two losers. Here you got Kim who just sticks with Diddy to pop out babies to keep a steady check rolling. This is a disgrace and I wouldn't waste my money reading about an unwedded couple. Its disrespecful to those of us who do believe in the union of marriage. God bless the children, hopefully they will learn some morals somewhere. Essence, please stick to strong black couple like Jada and W

I don't know why everyone is tripping...he left her for J.Lo, Kim was taking him to the cleaners. I know all of yall have heard "it was cheaper to keep her"....But, yes, he could marry her but that will cost him MORE money if they split and he is already in waist deep!

Essence continues to reach new lows as they glorify hoochies and baby mama drama, two things that are destroying the very fabric of the black community. It is SOOOOO funny to me how he was ready to marry J-Lo, but Kim, now that's literally a horse of a different color. We as black women need to return to the strength of our mothers and stop accepting foolishness and giving it the seal of approval.

Come on now, she had 1 child already and so did he-now they have 3 children together which brings the total to 5. At first I thought Kim just didn't mind not being married, but after twelve years (or more) and 5 children combined I believe she would like to be married. I understand that Sean needs to mature more for that kind of commitment, so what makes it so sad is that your bringing children into the world but you're not ready to become one in marriage. NONSENSE!

This is all the world needs, another black baby born outside of marriage. What a wonderful example these two people have made for other blacks. At least Kim knows who the daddy is and he has the money to raise them. Damn shame that Kim has settled for a man who won't marry her. She's a cow and Diddy's getting the milk for free. Black women need to make better choices about the men they lay down with. Stop having babies with men who won't marry or support you. Stop the cycle. Make a change. Take a stand. K

When two people marry, they vow to love, cherish and be faithful to one another for the rest of their lives. I'd like to believe that most people mean that despite the high rate of divorce and infidelity. Diddy has stated that he is not ready for marriage. Will he ever be? Maybe. Maybe not, but Kim is the only one who has to deal with the consequences of his decision personally, socially, etc. and based on the recent Essence interview, she seems prepared/resigned to doing just that. For those of you who are having

I'm happy for he an Kim and I wish them the best of luck with their family. I believe we as Blacks need to get back to basics and give our children 2 parents who are legally and spiritually bonded under God as husband and wife. BUT, it's better not to jump in if you're not ready, then let a otherwise solid relationship end in divorse

I'm sure the little girls are beautiful and that they will be well cared for by loving parents. Should Kim and Diddy marry? Who knows? Perhaps they will be like Brangelina and commit primarily to the children. That doesn't mean that they don't love one another. I'm old school and believe firmly in the institution of marriage if two people are living together. However, I realize and can appreciate the fact that what works for one may not work for another. Lastly, it is the quality of the marriage that matters most

Congrads to the proud parents. I enjoyed reading the article in Essence about Kim and Diddy's relationship. It definitely shine a different light on the matter. Kim you're a unique woman. I think Diddy is afraid to committ that's why he's not gettingmarried yet. Marriage is a contract and he doesn't want to sign another that he 'might' break.
