Famous white man/black woman interracial couples?

    I’m trying to think of examples of famous couples where the man is white and the woman is black. There aren’t that many of them. So far this is what I’ve come up with
    1. Colin Farrell (actor) and Nicole Narain (Playboy model)
    2. Robert De Niro (actor) and Diahanne Abbott (actress); also De Niro and Toukie Smith (model); De Niro and Grace Hightower (actress)
    3. Shia LaBeouf (actor) and Kiely Williams (musician)
    4. Justin Chambers (actor) and Keisha Chambers (former model agency booker)
    5. Bill Maher (comedian and broadcaster) and Coco Johsen (Playboy model); also Maher and Karrine Stefans (writer)
    6. Roger Ebert (film critic) and Charlie "Chaz" Hammel-Smith (attorney)

    Can anyone think of any other examples? Remember, white man/black woman, not the other way around (so no Seal and Heidi Klum, for instance!)

    Is there a point you're trying to make OP. I'm very curious now why interracial celebrity couples are so important.

    I too am interested in the point, but the last few posters have misread the question. OP is looking for white males involved with black females, not the other way around.
    OJ Simpson & Nicole Brown.

    Why are you interested in this point :confused:

    They are just two people together :confused:

    Exactly. They are just two people together but the OP specifically asked for white man/black woman couples and I wonder what got him/her thinking that they are a rarity. Given all the examples of people that are in the public eye that we have mentioned - I would just like to know if there was more to the question.

    A study from Pew Research Centre, published in February of this year, found that "black men [in the United States] were more than twice as likely as black women to marry someone outside their race – 24 percent to 9 percent."

    Perhaps this is why the OP was looking for examples.

    I would consider him more biracial than white.

    The original poster said they wanted examples of black women and white men.

    Is it just me, or is this thread......on the pointless side?

    Could that not be said about most threads in this forum?

    Given the higher proportion of black man/white woman couples, as mentioned in the previous study, perhaps the original poster was wondering why this occurs? Why are black women less likely to date outside their own ethnicity than black men?

    Perhaps it would've been more succinct if i'd suggested arguing over the exact thread title/meaning is essentially pointless given the nature of this forum?
