Cue the feels! Forty years later, the childhood friends who formed New Edition together as kids then went on to become one of the biggest R&B groups of all time are still the best of friends. Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe and Ricky Bell were recently spotted vacationing together on a yacht with their wives in celebration of bandmate Bobby Brown’s 50th birthday. Of course, Brown’s wife and manager Alicia Etheridge-Brown was also on hand to host the festivities and help her man bring in a new year of life.

Quadruple dates are nothing new for these couples, who are all going strong. The Bells tied the knot in 2004 and in March 2018 released their first ever duet together. The Bivins are celebrating 13 years together.
