Super hip-hop couple Clifford “T.I.” Harris and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle grace the cover of Ebony Magazine’s annual BLACK LOVE edition.
It’s the first time that the couple have covered the magazine together. T.I. on his commitment to Tiny:
Once I made my mind up that I was going to be committed to this relationship, I started being married then and there.
Since I’ve been married, it’s the same relationship, we’re the same people. We treat each other the same way, and we’re just as happy now as we were before.
Ebony’s Black love issue will also feature newlyweds Meagan Good and her new hubby DeVon Franklin as well as Bishop T.D. Jakes with wife, Serita.
The couples chat about love, marriage and how they each make their relationships work.
In order to play fair, Ebony is honoring each of the three couples with their own covers! It’s reportedly the first time each of the other two couples have landed an Ebony cover as well.
View the other two covers below…
Meagan Good on making her relationship work:
“What do I do for him that’s romantic? I try to surprise him whenever he comes to town. I wear nice things…Wink!”
Bishop T.D. Jakes offers advice on maintaining a marriage:
Marriage requires work and expecting the unexpected.
Don’t let other people design a marriage you can’t live with.
Keep other people out your business.
Every marriage is different.
In addition, each of the men penned love letters to their women, which will be featured in the magazine.
Celebrate Black Love!!
The February issue of Ebony, which hits newsstands Friday, January 4th.

Awwww! Made me smile.
These are great covers..I really love TI and Tiny as a couple
I haven’t bought Ebony magazine in God knows how long, but I will certainly get the issue with T.I. and Tiny on it. Very nice picture and I really like the two of them as a couple, they seem for real. They’ve stuck it out for the long haul and weathered some storms and those two factors are key in having a solid relationship. Bishop Jakes and Serita too. Eh, Megan Goode and Devon (not sure who he is) is kinda premature to have on the cover of a magazine IMO. They’ve been married 5 seconds and everywhere I turn she’s offering advice on maintaining a relationship. She reminds me of one of those new mothers who has a two month old baby and thinks she’s mastered parenting, lol! Also….did she just say she tries to surprise him when he comes to town?! Not a good idea at all for newlyweds to have frequent time apart, but that’s just me. Anyway, can’t wait for this issue to hit the stands
I was thinking the same thing about Meagan. The ink hasnt even dried good and now she is on the cover? They could have put Monica and her hubby, Tamar and Vince, Denzel and Pauletta….. and there are many others. Oh well, I digress…..
I think Ebony and Essence haven’t been what they were created to do…for a very very long time.
I do think the covers are gourgeous. But I agree SDMH, Couples like Denzel and Pauletta who have been solid(I didn’t say perfect) for over 29 years…or Tamar and Vince who have the hottest couple show right now and Lebron and Savannah would have been nice covers as well.
But, I’m thinking I see the trend of the 10% negro. lol Who knew Amber Rose was even black..lol and why them anyway? next lol My bad…others are black now…lmao and of course more important than actual black folks…cause Ebony says so…lol
You should pickup Ebony again. The magazine is wonderful. Now essence is just awful, but Ebony is worth a subscription
i was on board with this issue til i saw td fakes and fat cheeks serita on the cover…and meagen hubby look suspect lol next
Shut up ((((dummy)))) they all look good. Now go find someone to love ya.
ok sheepe
Honestly Tamar husband seems very suspect to me….
TI and Tiny look gorge!!! Less is so much more for Tiny. Awwww, black love!
That’s a cute picture of them. and their both doing their thing right now…much deserve. Still would been nice to see some black families make the list too.
Well, thank goodness for Photoshop. Tiny’s face looks less like Jabber the hut.
Good job Ebony.
I hear ya, Tiny almost looks ass good as TI!
Love T.I and Tiny!!
Black love is a beautiful thing. Not like that clown show Kanye and Kim are putting on.
You betta hush…LMAO you might need to pick the mag up…lol They might be in there…lol
My 24year anniversary w/ my love is tomorrow and we’re not married. He says he wants to get married this year b/c we should have been already. I’m scared! I don’t want NOTHING to break us apart. We’ve outlived all the marriages we know and this is scary to me. But I’m gonna do it! Woo hoo…black love…its powerful!
Where’s Greg and NeNe! LOL!!
I love all 3 of these covers of Ebony and I will be buying all 3. I think that it is important to respect the marriages and relationships of others, because none of us are in either of them.
Regardless of how someone looks, there is always someone for them, regardless of who don’t like them. Until you find someone for yourself who will LOVE AND RESPECT you in the same manner these men are showing to their wives.
Keep your negative views in your mouths, because your opinion is never going to be heard, nor read by these MUCH IN LOVE AND MARRIED BUSY CELEBRITY COUPLES!
Does Megan and her husband live in two separate cities. She said when he comes to town…
Everyone looks nice, good job Ebony
Love, love, LOVE THIS!!!!
1. T.I. and Tiny look so amazing. Very relaxed, classy, and comfortable with each other….the way a married couple should look together.
2. All 3 couples look great.
3. I love the fact that they selected couples in different age groups.
4. "Ebony" must have finally fired someone, because I can see that they stopped playing politics and finally decided to remember that there are more than the same 7 or 8 Black couples in Hollywood.
5. Black people should be happy with these covers. In the past there were constant complaints about unmarried couples being on the cover. That is not problem this year. This issue should sell completely out.
*crickets* on the age groups…I don’t think M. Good is older than Tiny. Well, married couples don’t have any better track record than couples dating. Oprah and Stedman have been together for a long time. It looks more like..music, hollywood and church..: ) than the age group theory.
So T. D. Jakes and his wife are the same age as the other two couples?
When I say couples, the age difference only has to be between two couples, not all three couples.
Oprah and stedman are not married
I so love T.I. and Tiny together. They make a nice couple. And Tiny girl you look fab.
Awwww what beautiful covers and I love TI & TINY
ti sacrificed alot so that him & tiny could become what they are.See what iDid there?!
awwww black love! thats awesome!
I have never seen a jailbird so celebrated by Atlanta media.I have seen several Atlanta based blogs celebrate TI as if he’s an outstanding citizen while dogging other celebrities who may have been in trouble but did not go to jail.
Every since he defended that racist White bird Iggy whatever against a Black woman (Azaelia Banks) I have been done with him….
I meant "Free Mind",LOL….
why are they calling it black love? love is love, and GOD ordained. It’s 2013, and a love between a man and a woman is a beautiful thing. All this black this and black that, life is too short, with all that. Find love where you can. Where’s the story of Melody Hobson and George Lucas engagement, or Janet and Wissam al Mana engagements. But, wait, it’s not black love.
The reason black love is celebrated is because it is near extinction either you are not black or disillusioned not to understand why this is a big deal for the dynamics of the black family..Use common sense the next time you go on a BLACK blog complaining about BLACK LOVE
All this black/brown LOVE is contagious. Obama and Michelle started it. Love is definitely in the air.
