Sexy Will and Jada – Black Hollywood’s reigning king and queen of prestige and power have been blazing a trail of personal and professional success for over a decade now. The pair is not only one of the hottest and sexiest couples around, they are also raising one of the most beautiful and talented families in Hollywood. |

Powerful President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama – While many couples may be designated as royalty, none are more deserving than Barack and Michelle Obama. The nation’s first black president and first lady are the premier couple of the nation and a powerful example of love for the world. |

Private Jay-Z and Beyoncé – Their first love may be music, but their greatest love is each other. Their fierce dedication to protecting their marriage from the media’s prying eyes makes it perfectly clear that hip-hop’s hottest (and most private) couple are the real thing, and like their music they’re here to stay. |

Scandalous Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys – They’re the couple everyone is talking about. Born from romance and scandal, they’re the picture-perfect example of a forbidden love affair. The world is aghast that the still married Swizz is carrying on a very public liaison, but these two seem too lost in love to even care. |

Irresistible Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian – Their relationship reads like the ultimate fairy tale of high school sweethearts. Hot jock meets super hot girl, they fall in love and become the most popular couple around. Beauty meets brawn and all of Hollywood is watching. |
