Former NBA star Grant Hill and his wife, Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Tamia have one of the most inspiring Black love stories of our time. Together they have been through it all and still came out on top and madly in love.
This week, the couple celebrated their 20-year wedding anniversary, proving the love is still as strong as the day they said, “I do.” In a post celebrating their milestone anniversary on Instagram, Tamia writes, “Happy 20th Anniversary my love. ❤️ Cheers to the next 20”
Hill’s post reflected on their years together. Posting a series of their favorite photos together, he writes, “Seriously, I’m truly amazed and inspired by how far we’ve come; humbled by how far we have left to go; and beyond grateful to be on this journey with you…Thankful is an understatement!!”
When ESSENCE asked the couple last year about what keeps the longevity in their relationship, Tamia said the answer is simple. “Every day you are just saying to each other, ‘we are going to work it out, we are going get through it together,’ [because] it’s not about looking into each other’s eyes, it’s about looking in the same direction. So, there’s no secret.”
Here’s a look back at Tamia and Grant Hill’s relationship throughout the years.
