COUPLED UP: EVA & LANCE IN ROLLING OUT MAGAZINE
Friday, February 13, 2009

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, newly engaged couple Lance Gross and Eva Marcille Pigford (who looked great at the NAACP awards Thursday night) grace the latest cover of Rolling Out Magazine. Peep a few snippets from their interview:
EVA ON MEETING LANCE
“When I met Lance, everything that I expected for my life just completely changed. I never thought that I was going to get married. I thought that I would adopt kids somewhere in my late 30s or early 40s and just be a workaholic. I also thought that I would never be able to meet someone who could appreciate me for me since I’m in this business. But then I found Lance.”
LANCE ON EVA
“With Eva, I knew early on. My parents have been together for over 40 years, and so I followed their lead. When someone comes into your life that’s right for you, you are supposed to do the right thing. So it didn’t take much for me. I knew that I was going to be with Eva forever anyway, so it was all about whether I wanted to get my grown man on and make it official, or if I was just going to play games. I’m not really about playing games, so I went ahead and made it official.”
THE COUPLE ON THEIR RELATIONSHIP
“Communication is very important for us,” Gross says. “I think that’s why we mesh so well, because we communicate with each other. If it’s something that I don’t like, I let her know, if it’s something that she doesn’t like, she lets me know and we compromise. You’ve got to have communication in your relationship. That’s number one.”
“As long as he’s a happy guy, and I’m a happy woman, that’s all that matters to me,” Eva says. “Jobs come and go. Offers come and go. And there might be something here today that will be gone tomorrow. But he and I have such a foundation where the work and our careers are not the most important part - it’s our love for one another.”

No need for them to get married, they aren’t going to make it anyway. They are just going to end up in divorce court.

PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT REAL LOVE LOOKS LIKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REAL LOVE IS NOT:
walking in front and she walks behinds
arriving to shows and other public appearances seperate and acting like they came together.
not having the pride to admit they are in a relationship
acknowledeing the person presents and importance in their lives
paying the paparazzi to follow them on vacation
actually talking to each other in public and not their friends sitting next to them
being real people and not a facade or show to act like you to hard to be in love or show affection.
I wish then the absolute best in their relationship and in life !!! May god bless them!

Its Sooooo GREAT, that they’re putting this picture of Black Love out there. With all this ridiculous Booty shaking pimps up hoes down bull, that depict negativity and common Stereo-types. Love that they’re bringing Old Fashion LOVE, Back.

Now that’s what I’m talking about a REAL black man who isn’t afraid to get hsi “grown man” on. Of course, that doens’t work without the woman getting her “grown woman” on too! Black relationships are good to see but Black marriages are even BETTER to see!

Eva has either been doing some serious squats (like a zillion/day) or she had a butt implant. Either way there’s no way to go from her formally concave butt to what she has today easily.

OK that second pic has got to go! Everything else looks incredible.
How lovely for her (and him!) to have such a public declaration of love and respect.
It’s like with Barack and Michelle - PUBLIC love and adoration means much more than just the idea of having a mate.
I love couples in love, it’s such a beautiful thing. No matter what the color of the folks involved, if you can find love and peace of mind with a person I am all for it.
I don’t know what I would do without the love of my life. So much drama in the world, it’s nice to have someone who loves you unconditionally.
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone and for those of you still searching - don’t ever settle!
LOL @ all this sappy crap I typed out.

I alway liked eva since TOP MODEL although i wanted YaYa to win. they make such a physically attractive couple their kids will be beautiful 4 sure!
And here’s the token “RANDOM BEYONCÉ COMMENT”
I bet b’s kicking herself for not married a hansome man, theirs a 50/50 chance her kids could either be stunning…OR take after Jay

These two are gorgeous…a lil’ too much make up for my liking.
but I cannot help but think they are faking the hell out of this mess… I mean just a hot minute ago, she was all over the gay and lesbian scene… and maybe that’ s where they met b/c I find him a lil questionable at times.
But if it is true love, which I’m doubting then I wish them both the best.

The reality is,that Lance and Eva make a smooth couple,their personalites seem to fit,and their relationship seems to be based on chemistry and maturity and it`s good and healthy,that they can open up and communicate with each other,unlike a lot of other black celebrity relationships,I think that Lance and Eva`s has the potential to survive.
