Word is that 40 something year-old Raphael Saadiq and 19 year-old Joss Stone are an item. Various blogs are reporting this rumor. I also heard that the two posed naked for a recent photo shoot. Joss has a thing for the brothers; we posted pics and her ex, British R&B star Lemar, last year.
Raphael worked on Joss’ newest release, “Introducing Joss Stone” out March 20th. Watch the two in Joss’ latest video “Tell Me ‘Bout It” after the cut.
Cute
lol! Joss Stone CANNOT be 19! she looks much older. & what the hell is she wearing in that pic? smh @ Raphael Saadiq being with her if she’s really 19.
Come on Raphael! Is it that hard to find a good SISTA? Preferably, one your own age…
Wow. Doesn’t surprise me AT ALL. Joss is gettin her Teena Marie on, I see. And Mr. Sadiq likes that psychedelic isht.
Whatever.
Nice
They both look out of place.
Hey Angel !!!
What Up with the crack about 40 Something Raphael Saadiq !
Us brothers that are over 40 need Love too !!!
I wonder If he has a daughter that age…
That would be VERY awkward, having a girlfriend around your daughters age…..

Bill Said:
IF I was single, I would look for a girl between the ages of 23 – 30….
My Oldest daughter’s 23, though…So
on second thought
Maybe 26 -35….
LMAO @ Juicy
“Gettin’ her Teena Marie on”
Gonna use that one!
Wow, I guess love really is blind because here lately none of these couples have made any sense to me… And that is quite the age difference… I personally don’t see what a 40 year old can have in comon with a 19 year old… But hey, they both are kind of strange and eclectic so I guess in some sort of weird/creepy way they are a match… I think???
IM IN MY LATE 30′S AND I ATTRACT A LOT WOMEN IN THEIR EARLY TO MID 20′S. MOST SAY THAT MEN THEIR AGE AREN’T MATURE ENOUGH FOR THEM AND CAN’T TEACH THEM ANYTHING SO MAYBE THATS WHAT SHE SEES IN HIM EVEN THOUGH 19 IS A BIT OF A REACH THAT’D BE LIKE DATING A GIRL IN HIGH SCHOOL. THINK ABOUT IT LETS GO TO CLUB ETC. OH WAIT YOUR’E NOT OLD ENOUGH. THAT’S OK I’VE GOT A FAKE I.D.
he is way to old for her
whatever! I guess us sisters will have to get white men. maybe we’ll catch up with them one day.
I LIKE TO DATE OLDER MEN BECAUSE “MOST” GUYS AROUND MY AGE (19-22) ARE ABOUT DUMB -ISH. HOWEVER, I WOULDN’T DATE ANYONE THAT OLD!!!!
Damn, that hurts my heart if it’s true. And I didn’t know she dated Lemar…double damn.
Her voice isn’t impressive, I don’t get the hype. It seems that people go all up in arms when White people do too many runs and add a little vibrato to their voice. She’s very wack.
just heard joss’ album and it’s hot!! raphael did a good job with this one b/c this is joss’ best album. they look cute together. they have about the same style so it’s a good match. who cares what their race is.
@ 16 her voice might not be amazing but it’s a hell of a lot better than most minstream artists out right now. cassie, ciara, britney, milian, and the rest would not survive in a song with this chick
i think they have the music thang in common…that brings alot of folks together (i.e deangelo & angie stone). It seems that relationships build after spending months and months together making an album. You become really close in that studio, day after day night after night…then folks start lookin good to ya!! lol
@18 you’re comparing her to artists that aren’t in her genre. She wants to be a soul artist, so let’s compare her to Jill Scott, India.Arie, etc….she’s wack.
Eww that age difference is too much for me. I don’t want no man on the brink of needing Viagra to get it up. I’m just playing. I know he not THAT old but still, that’s too old to me. To each his/her own I guess.
HOT DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh god. Yall still on that “whats wrong with us sistas” thing? Im soo sick of hearing that BS. If he happens to like a white woman, oh well. If he’s 40 and shes 19. OH WELL. Thats their life, and if its love its love. She’s a damn adult and so is he. They’re doing grown people things. Let it go. Im half black but I consider myself a black woman and I love my black men, but aint a damn thing wrong with races mixing. Some of you really need to get past this color thing. What makes you think their love for one another is any less than TRUE because she’s white? Love has no color. TRUE LOVE has no color. Don’t think soo negatively because not all black men like black women. And just because hes dating a white woman now, if its true, doesnt mean he doesnt love black women. Ever heard of someone dating more than one race.
GOOOOOOOOOD LORD.
either way. WTF is up with Joss’ outfit? thats horrid. But I still love her style nonetheless. Do ya thing Joss, mami.
Am I the only person who ses the obvious. I’m Raphael’s biggest fan, and Joss Stone. Ladies don’t trip. These two can take all the pictures in the world; that man ain’t no where near straight. This is what you call a photo opp. Some women like bisexual men. Hey, whatever rocks your freaky little boat… both of them are still the shyt to me. Bring back the original Lucy Pearl!
@ 20 i understand where you’re coming from but she’s still young and has a long way to go.
^^ Yeah, that is what I was about to ask. So, is he really bi? I heard some people talking about it on the Perez blog, that was my first time ever hearing about it, though.
Hate to say it, but he’s gay too.
She can do better.
agree with #1 they are adorable together.. awww Hey if its true im for it and im HAPPY Joss is a beautful person with an amazing voice ..oops and Raphal has some bad love making songs
… one more thing for some odd reason im feeling the hair color
Good for them But wtf is she wearing…
You can say what you want about Saadiq-y, but bruh can throw down some tracks. Much better than the usual cookie-cutter rnb (jams?) you hear on the radio nowadays.
@24
And yeah, I wants me some Lucy Pearl, too.
Well thats her business.Im not feeling the outfit shes rocking but then again Joss Stone is a free spirit, sort of like a Flowerchild. Hes into the same type of music .Maybe they are seeing oneanother .If so than he is much older than her but at least shes over 18 and grown. He doesnt look that old but Im in my 30s and I know hes older than me!I remeber him from them Tony Toni Tonee Days!
Maybe hes just working on her new album.Pics dont always tell the whole picture.
hes still stinky lookin to me and now she looks stinky to lolololo
Is she really 19? damn! I thought she was atleast 23 or 24. But hey its cool, wherever u can find love do ya thing. But her outfit has got to go
What is up with her FUCKING outfit? New couple? EEWw!
Joss Stone looks just that Stoned….
white women need to back off!!
These two were rumored to be together last year …I think early last year…
& I read that her and Lemar never dated …they worked on a song together that was about it.
Saadiq has always been her main man.
Raphael is not gay… I lived in Sacramento when he did, and he AGGRESIVELY went after women… I saw him and Tupac hanging out many a time, once at a step show in Arco Arena… as far as him being bi, I don’t know… he has a history of getting after white women, at least while he lived in Sac… I ain’t mad at him though…
lmao @ #36 and 38
Awwwww they look so adorable together.
in every western country that ive been 2,ive noticed that white women want black men and vice versa….i jus wonder why its like that…can someone gimme an explanation…i don wanna hear the love has no colour bullshit,cos its a fact i see black and white.can some1 answer mi please
I have always loved Raphael. He is very talented. Whatever you want….Raphael…
hopefully i don’t see any racial comments. it’s 2007.
JS+RS= WTF? Joss stone is not 19. She looks more like she’s 59 lol….Raphael, date who ever u want but DAMN!!! not the crypt keepers daughter lol.
great for them.
I could care less about their age or the color of their skin….what confuses me is the outfit she’s wearing,
all those damn colors girl you look straight up like a clown….does it seem like she’s trying to hard to be like Janice Joplin?
Nice, they look good together.
#46 – scroll up…only three comments in and there was a comment about him not dating a black woman. people need to give it up and get over it.
The hippie/bohemian look didnt work? I see shes going through XTINA PHASE.
Dear People,
Get lives!!!! What difference does it make that she’s half his age if he ain’t fukkin YOU? Ronald Isley married a BLACK woman who is 40 years his junior, but of course NOBODY called HER a gold digger or any of the shit they would have called her had she been a WHITE woman.
And for the record, it’s 2007 not 1907, so that black white shit is old and played. If so many ignorant azzed black women didn’t pride themselves on the “cuteness” (or lack thereof) of neck rollin and that, “I don’t take no shit” BS, ya might be able to find and keep a man, but since ya always on that bad attitude shit, ya forced to sit at home and talk about how “pitiful” black men are, how “pathetic” white women are who GET your black men with OTHER neck rollin, shit talkin, manless wanches such as yourself.
PS: If Kelis had on that ugly shit, y’all would be sayin that she’s “fierce” (whatever da fukk THAT word means).
Is it ugly, to some (including me)? Yep. But big deal, y’all act like y’all walk out of the house dressed from head to toe in Cavalli, Wang, Versace or Gucci.
when you ask why a black man would choose a white woman over a black woman, and “whats wrong with a sista”, you are only showing yourself up as having an inferiority complex – lookin at it like white women are in some way “better”. why dont you liberate yourself, if it really weighs that heavy on your mind, and tell yourself that he couldnt get a beautiful black woman, because he himself is not worthy of one.
or just have a coke and a smile and be glad that in this world of so many hate filled people, that love is still being found, whatever the color.
I think they’re not an item. He produced a lot of her songs, it’s the first time we see them together and at an event , how do we know for sure they’re dating? Wasn’t Aaliyah like that with Jet-Li once for their movie? Were they dating? No they knew each other, worked on the same project, went to the event together. If they really date I think she’s too young for him, this chick is still a teen. This fucker is 40, WTF?
On another note, love is colorblind, and I have no problem with IR-Relationships long as you don’t choose someone because they’re NOT black. And some of yall stereotyping your damn selves and your black women or men might take a look at the mirror before blaming “the man” for the black community’s downfall. It’s hard enough to have others stereotype you, but to have your own doing this is far more destructive.
Put it that way : If a black person dates ONLY non-black people BECAUSE they’re not black, that means they have an inferiority complex and are color stuck, right? SO DO YOU WANNA LIVE AND DEAL AND DATE SOMEONE LIKE THAT? Ponder on that one for a minute.
If the answer is “NO”, then stop wondering why he or she prefers white or asian over black, because at the end of the day THEY DID YOU A FAVOR BY NOT CHOOSING YOU, WITH THEIR SICK INFERIORITY COMPLEXED ASSES. Less bullshit to worry about in your life.
So enjoy life, and leave people alone with their crappy mentalities, prejudice and inferiority complexes. They’re ADULTS, there’s no way you can change them, ONLY THEY CAN CHANGE THEMSELVES IF THEY ARE WILLING TO.
Their problem, NOT YOURS.
LAME ass couple
Alot of Black Women are so insecure….
Cant hate on Rapheal cuz he come from the Town where it go down.
Let them do their thing. Ray Ray’s career really hasn’t been poppin off lately anyway. Listen up sistas there’s enough men to go around…that’s if you’re up to dating men outside of your race. Believe me, Black men are NOT the Second Coming, Lol
It does make you question it when he is MORE than 2wice her age!
