ESSENCE.com Plays Celebrity Matchmaker

ESSENCE.com Plays Celebrity Matchmaker
By · April 1, 2010October 29, 2020
01
Taraji P. Henson & Terrence Howard

The Couple: Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard
Nickname: T.T.
It might be hard out there for a pimp, but this pairing is a no-brainer. Their chemistry on and off film cannot be denied.

02
Toni Braxton & Usher

The Couple: Toni Braxton and Usher
Nickname: Tusher
Both singing sensations drop new albums this year, so there’s already an established understanding of hectic schedules. Add that to the fact that they both recently went through public divorces. Aww, they can use their tender tenor voices to comfort each other.

03
Chris Brown & Naomi Campbell

The Couple: Chris Brown and Naomi Campbell
Nickname: ChrisCam
Forget these two hot heads attending anger management classes together; Naomi could teach Chris a few things about the Golden Rule: “Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.”

04
Rihanna & Tiger Woods

The Couple: Rihanna and Tiger Woods
Nickname: Rihager
Besides the fact they would have the most adorable children, they both know how to take a licking and keep on ticking.

05
Gabby Sidibe & Faizon Love

The Couple: Gabby Sidibe and Faizon Love
Nickname: Gabizon
Nevermind the age gap; both actors seem to have big, ummm – hearts? And a whole lot of laughs to share, too.

06
Estelle & Will.i.am

The Couple: Estelle and Will.i.am
Nickname: Estelle.I.Am
Both artists are a bit left-field and quirky, and know a thing or two about making good music. In her new single, “Freak,” Estelle claims she can be a freak “every day of the week,” while Will.i.am looks like he could handle all of that.

07
Drake & Melanie Fiona

The Couple: Drake and Melanie Fiona
Nickname: Drelani
Does this pairing need any explanation? Young successful Canadians should date other young successful Canadians.

08
Maxwell & Selita Ebanks

The Couple: Maxwell and Selita Ebanks
Nickname: Wellita
The salacious Victoria’s Secret model struts down the runway every year rocking a pair angel wings, and we all know Maxwell always appreciates a pair of cough “pretty wings.”

09
Eva Marcille & Lance Gross

The Couple: Eva Marcille and Lance Gross
Nickname: Evalance
We refuse to give up on this pair. We need them to get back together, pronto.
