Interracial Celebrity Couples in the News
- Recent items in 'Chronicle' show that old ideas persist in New SouthThe Augusta Chronicle27 hours ago
wo items in The Augusta Chronicle recently upset my stomach worse than sour milk, and I feel I need to say something.
- Getting mixed hair rightLos Angeles Times2 days ago
People of multiple ethnicities know that their manes can be easily mangled. But salons and hair-care products are improving. You've seen the great hair divide in the movies: "Steel Magnolias" was centered in Truvy's beauty salon, which catered to white women; Queen Latifah's "Beauty Shop," on the other hand, had a clientele that was almost exclusively black.

MM - There were a great deal more that I found too but some had recently broke up so I had to leave them off. I was amazed by the numbers of couples. I was a little shocked by Roger Ebert and George Lucas, although I remember hearing that Roger Ebert dated Oprah Winfrey so.... I will have to talk to Mr. Noth about that two timing thing. Lol.
I'm surprised by George Lucas - not because he is one half of an interracial couple but because he is in a relationship at all! It doesn't seem too long ago that I watched a biographical TV show in which the devoted single dad emphatically stated that he was'nt interested in pursuing any more romantic relationships. I guess she must have changed his mind for him!
interesting but not entirely surprising. I grew up the same way but also traveled abroad and for couples abroad is not even really a topic. It is more about status or class. Although, there are still a few who feel differently.
Well put together hub. I've always like the NYC couple Grace Hightower and Robert DeNiro. They've been together so long and then married but yet when they are out and about folks still don't know they are an old married couple.
Right now NYC seems to be the interracial capital of the US.
This was fun to go through.
Thanks!
Nemingha - I think I saw the same show and remember him saying that. Love usually happens when you are not looking for it!!
ocbill - I am hoping that the stigma attached to interracial relationships is changing. Its just really nice seeing couples that have been together for a long period of time.
BkCreative - Thank you very much. I have heard that about NYC. I see a great deal of interracial couples here in the NW as well.
I really loved this hub.
Most of the people I knew about.
I am happy for Halley Berry the most. She needs some happiness in her life finally.
George Lucus really did shock me though. I do remember a program about his wanting to just raise his children, and I thought wow, just like most of us woman. You just do not want to take any chances. Still, I must admit when I saw him with Ms. Hobson I was stunned.
Thanks for the post.
N.E. - Thanks for your comments. I knew about most of them but was surprised by some. It is nice to see such a representatives.
coco and ice r my fav..i luv coco's body!
Jaypooh - I have heard that a lot. Glad you like!!

Hi TM, This hub surprised me! I had no idea there were so many interracial celebrity couples. Tiger Woods and Heidi Klum and Eva Longoria Parker I knew about. Who knew about people like Roger Ebert?
I think it's great to have well known and well respected people setting such a positive example.
Bummer about Chris Noth, tho. How does he justify two-timing Sarah Jessica Parker, LOL?
