Anniversaries, Engagements, And Tropical Escapes: The Best Of Black Love In August

How is the summer already almost over? Although we’re still savoring the best summer moments, we’re looking forward to the fall, when our couples will be cozied up and enjoying family time soon enough. 

This summer was huge for our legacy couples, with them enjoying marriage and wedding anniversaries like the Wades and Westbrooks and escaping to tropical locations like Greece and Jamaica. 

Our newer couples, like Jennifer Williams and Christan Gold, celebrated heartwarming engagements. Also, couples celebrated their significant others, as it was Leo season. We also can’t forget the star couples at Beyonce’s epic Renaissance concerts. See where some big names traveled, dined, and celebrated throughout the past month, and get some inspiration for your next date night. 

Gabrielle Union-Wade and Dwyane Wade

The Wades may still be on their #WadeWorldTour2023, but Gabrielle took some time to shout out her husband of nine years as they recently celebrated their wedding anniversary.
