There is, arguably, no rockier love story than that of Empire‘s Lucious and Cookie Lyon.
The pair have endured murder attempts, infidelity, business deals gone wrong, and betrayal, but somehow they still always find their way back to each other. Heck, Cookie even went to jail for Lucious and they have still somehow managed to build an empire.
In this ESSENCE exclusive, take a walk down memory lane with the pair and relive their most insane, epic moments.
You won’t be alone, though. As you exlpore their love, you’ll have Kendrick Lamar’s “Love” to guide you.
Empire is set to return Wednesday, Sept. 27, picking up right where things left off.
