The subject of black male celebrities and their choice of wives, girlfriends and jump-offs stormed back to the forefront of urban conversation recently when comedian D.L. Hughley, in an interview with NPR, railed against sisters, saying that he’s never “run across an angrier group of people” in the country. It was an  interesting and combustible conversation for someone who has been married to a black woman for 26 years and has two daughters.

But the following list of black male celebrities are not married to black women. This lengthy list of individuals may or may not share Hughley’s sentiment; they may simply prefer to bring women of other ethnicities into their nests.

This is a list of black male celebrities and dignitaries who have married or date white women, some exclusively.
