Tamia & Grant Hill Just Celebrated 21 Years Of Marriage
I'm a person that loves love but for me personally, there's something about Black love that just hit different and if you feel like I do, Tamia and Grant Hill's latest anniversary video is probably the best thing you'll see all day.
Celebrating their 21st wedding anniversary, the couple posted a video dancing to Tamia's "Can't Get Enough of You", and if my husband isn't down to hit a mean two-step with me like she and Grant did, I don't want him.
After more than 21 years, two children, and a scary multiple sclerosis diagnosis, Tamia and Grant Hill are living proof that Black love is alive and well in these streets and we love to see it. In a previous interview on OWN's Black Love, the former ballplayer revealed that the moment he knew Tamia was the one was when he ate her French toast:
"One day, in the morning, she made this bomb French toast. And I was like, 'I could marry her.' I mean, she's strong, she's beautiful, she's a fighter, we're compatible, and she can cook? And so, I knew I could marry her."
The couple has had their fair share of challenges—including when Grant sustained a serious ankle injury and Tamia was diagnosed with MS—but they have managed to have each other's back despite it all. In a previous interview with ESSENCE, Tamia explained:
"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."
