Yes, Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but here at ESSENCE we celebrate Black love all year long. Usually V-Day gets all of the love, but the sweet truth is, most couples celebrate their love stories in their own unique and special ways more than just one day (or weekend) a year.

From super sweet PDA to grand “just because” vacations, date nights and gestures of love, when it comes to year-round romance, some celebrity couples never disappoint. We love watching their love stories unfold and sharing in the feel good vibes. Here are just a few of the crazy romantic celebrity couples who make us swoon on a regular basis and who love to share their love with fans.
