There was so much happening when it came to public displays of affection this week as a number of stars celebrated birthdays with their partners, hit the friendly skies and the wavy waters for lavish trips together, matched in attire for date night and showered each other with love (which for some can be shared and happily received in the form of a pricey gift). See what a few of your favorite couples were up to this week in Black love.

Another big birthday was celebrated as our forever First Lady turned 58 this week and her beloved husband took to social media to celebrate her and plant a smooch on our fave (again, that is the best gift, right?).

Find yourself a partner who will agree that date night only works if you coordinate attire. The greatest gymnast of all time and her NFL baller beau certainly understood the assignment.

Another birthday! For Steve Harvey’s 65th celebration, the Harvey family took a trip to the Bahamas where they lived the yacht life. In a beautiful image, Steve and Marjorie took in the sun and incredible views of the water while on their luxury vessel.

Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia

In addition to jetting off in what looks to be a private plane to their next “blissful” destination, Simon brought some bliss home to Atlanta by gifting Williams a very fancy new ride:

The author and reality TV star was given a gray Rolls-Royce Ghost from her fiancé to match his silver one. As you can tell from the photos, sis couldn’t be happier.

Who wouldn’t be?
