I used to have a major crush on Monica when I was a teen. When “just one of them days” came out you couldn’t tell me Monica wasn’t the baddest chick on the planet. As I grew older and more “experienced” with women I realized something…SHE’S BONEY AS HELL!! and I like skinny women.

Monica has always liked rough guys (C-Murder) she always has a smile on her face so he must be doing something right. We people judge way too much whether we find him attractive or not he’s not our man he’s her man. And whose to say that she’s ready to be married its only been 2 years they rush and get married & then end up getting a divorce a month or 2 after, obviously its working for them so instead of talking negative lets be positive that there a young couple trying to make it in this crazy world & that he’s a man being a father to his kids. Monica it is so time for you to come back out you can actually sing.

@ CECE
“Engaged since 07 still no marriage yet. WTF r yall waiting for? I mean C’mon yall already on baby number 2. I guess she likes being called just a baby mama and not a wife.”
No, I think she believed that he would marry her just because of the engagement. Engagement is a real important step, but it’s not marriage. I don’t believe what people say “they’re gonna do”, I believe only in what I see. In all honesty, I think Rocko will not marry her and truly commit to her. He just gave her this “hope” to have her, because she’s a christian.

“Monica has always liked rough guys (C-Murder) she always has a smile on her face so he must be doing something right.”
Maybe they’re happy, and I hope Monica is, but frankly a smile doesn’t mean anything. Brandy smiled all the time when she faked it with Robert. Whitney smiled all the time even as an abused woman. Mya has never been seen sad, yet she took care of her mother having cancer, was dealing with her parents divorce and cheating and mentally abusive boyfriend. Halle had to deal with domestic abuse, and Eric Benet’s cheatings, she always smiled. Lil Mama’s mom died, she never looked depressed. We see celebrities, part of their job is to make the public dream. How many celebs do you know look depressed and suicidal? Doesn’t mean they’re not. It’s very very rare to see them sad. All of them are all smiles but we don’t know if that really reflects their private lives at the moment. But like I said, I do hope she’s happy.

I don’t know what kids ya’ll looking at but the youngest looks JUST like Rodney–he has his same features only lighter.. The oldest son favors both of his parents, when he was younger he looked more like his dad.. All families–even caucasian families can have children with different skin colors–stop with the slave mentality skin color comparisons! Do we need to bring back paper bag test too? –smh–

Monica’s dad isn’t fully white, he’s biracial.
I found this on another site:
Monica also talked about her 18-month-old son Romelo’s eyes: “All of the guys on my Dad’s side have that["beautiful eyes"]. My Dad’s eyes are like an aqua blue. My father is mixed and has this very light complexion so my son is a dead ringer for my dad. It’s funny because as my Dad walked into the hospital he was on his cell phone boasting and bragging because my son looked just like him. It meant a lot to him because my father is the spitting image of his mother and she is deceased. Now Rock’s grandmother is also a very light skinned woman with light eyes so they pull these certain genes from certain family members and it’s amazing

Monica’s dad is not white, lol…but close enough @ Tanny. He is half white (if that makes a difference). I’m pretty sure that’s where the kids get it from, b/c her bother has light eyes too.. For some reason the light eyes and pale skin just skipped over Mo.

IVE MET MONICA AND SHES VERY, VERY, LIGHTSKINNED IN PERSON. SHE WAS FRIENDLY AND REAL AND HER BOYS ARE ADOREABLE. WE WERE AT THE ATLANTA ZOO. SHE LOOOOOOVES HER KIDS AND I LOVE MINE TOO. SO I RESPECT THAT, THATS WHY WE WERE IN THAT HOT ASS SUN, SWEATING AND HAVING A BALL LOOKING AT ANIMALS. WHEN YOUR A PARENT YOU DO WHAT U GOTTA FOR YOUR KIDS TO ENJOY LIFE. ROCKOS CUTE TO ME…. CANT STAND PRETTY BOYS THAT WANT MORE MIRROR TIME THAN YOU.

Yes, your correct Monicas dad is half white. but looking at him he appears totally white. I worked with him for a while. Of course he retired at Monicas request but the youngest son looks just like him. beautiful. the oldest looks like rocko to me. of course just lighter

Since when do kids have to look just like their parents?
Is Monica wearing tights (LOL)? She still my girl! She reminds me of myself, can’t gain a pound for s***, love all her music.
And if this is the real NY posting on CL, do you have nothing else to do but sit home on CL and talk about everyone when you are not an attractive chick at all. You were alright but you really overdid it with the surgery and you wear way too much make up. Maybe you should get a 9 to 5 since your fame in reality tv is over.

In response to #26 I have read articles with Monica stating that she’s happy so when I said that she’s always smiling it is because she’s happy as for Whitney we all watched with our own two eyes her spiral out of control but she has managed to get back up & she looks happy and well, I don’t know any of these people personally I go by what I’m shown she looks happy with HER MAN and children and that’s what matters I agree with #38 you guys are way too critical about another persons life. I just want her to come back out with a new album, her man & children are her business

#8 Ce Ce, shut the fugg up, majority of black females out here have an average of 3 kids by different daddies, none of em married. Rocko can be as ugly as he wanna be, but we all know those r the ones that make beautiful babies. To bad can’t say that about the Smith’s daughter,lmao. Just like they make such a big deal out of Jolie/Pitt kids and they aren’t that cute either. As for Monica gaining weight, she will not, because she is meant to be small. At least she’s not starving herself like most celebrities, have those big ole heads and little bodies. Monica head is in proportion to her body, she’s looks good.

My parents and my 5 brothers are all dark brown to dark black,lol. Guess what? I’m just as light as Monica kids with the same soft hair and I look just like my family. Do u know how many flavas black folks come in? lawdy. If some of u don’t have anything to say, keep ur dayum mouths shut. Get so sick of iggros showing their true colors, jealousy………..

I swear if more people stayed out of other’s business the world would be a better place. WHY is everyone pondering when Monica will get married? That is HER business. Are you supporting her kids? Is she taking food out of your mouth?
Many need to ask themselves one simple question before they start minding other’s business.
Is your house in order? Mind your own damned business.

Monica is bitting RiRi extra hard with the whole look from the lipstick to the pearls. I wonder when that album is gonna drop and how she’s managed to stay relevant with no material. She needs to find Missy and get back in the Studio. Keep them kids and your boo in the house.
