Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe have been Hollywood’s ultimate couple goals for over 17 years. Recently, Nicole made headlines after sharing her thoughts on the newness of relationships, leading some to speculate about marital troubles. However, Boris stepped in to set the record straight, reminding everyone about the importance of context and communication in long-term partnerships. Here is the video (COVID ERA and you can clearly hear and SEE the truth without the clickbait)
Nicole Ari Parker began trending after a clip surfaced from a discussion with Chris Spencer and his wife Vanessa on their new show. In the clip, Nicole spoke candidly about how she sometimes reminisces about the excitement and spontaneity that comes with the early stages of a relationship.
Nicole said, “Sometime in the last year or so I thought, I wish that he was my boyfriend again. I don’t necessarily want to be single, but I miss the single life, I miss the text messages for no reason, I miss the coming up behind me when I’m scrambling eggs and just kissing me on the back of the neck.”
She elaborated on how those little moments of spontaneity often fade in long-term relationships, leaving some fans to believe that Nicole and Boris might be going through a rough patch. The clip, however, was a small segment of what Boris later revealed was a much longer and lighthearted conversation.
Taking to social media, Boris firmly clarified the context of his wife’s comments. He explained, “When you can’t believe all of the Quarantine crazy chit chat. Come on ya’ll, really?! Okay, first of all, you’re commenting on a short clickbait 1-minute slice of a hilarious hour-long conversation on our best friends’ new show. Second of all, this part was meant to give hope to those who’ve been together for a long a** time.”
Boris went on to agree with Nicole, saying, “My wife was right! Boyfriend and girlfriend time matters. Take care of each other, show each other, love each other, time is not promised.” His words reinforced the importance of rekindling that spark and prioritizing romance, no matter how long a couple has been together.
This candid discussion offers a refreshing perspective on long-term relationships, showing that even the strongest marriages require effort and intentionality. Nicole and Boris have not only navigated their marriage with grace but have also used this moment to inspire other couples to nurture their relationships and embrace the beauty of evolution.
While the internet was quick to assume the worst, Boris and Nicole have once again demonstrated what makes their bond so special—open communication, honesty, and unwavering support. Their story is a reminder that love is a journey, and maintaining connection takes effort and care. Here’s to their continued growth as a couple and to inspiring us all to cherish our own relationships.
