Remember when Ciara and Bow Wow were our picture perfect Jay-Z and Beyonce? No? Well let me refresh your memory.

Way before Bow Wow was a baby daddy (and several years before Ciara perfected her matrix move), they were once one of the hottest hip-hop couples around.

The cute couple made music together, did shows together, and appeared on several magazine covers. They even made Ebony magazine’s “10 Hottest couples” list in 20006…

My how time flies! How does a love so right go so wrong?? *sigh*

Hold up… wait! Are any of those couples on Ebony’s 2006 list still together?? Jermaine & Janet? Kirk & Tammy Franklin? LisaRaye & Micheal Misik?? [Dang! that’s a whole ‘nother post!]

Join me for a walk down puppy love memory lane in viewing CiCi & BowWow’s boo’d up photo collection below:

They were like our Bonnie & Clyde… two ride or die hip-hop heads destined for greatness.

They were together even when Ciara’s hair was in transition…

…and sat all boo’d up courtside at Hawks games.

…and even though she was a full 3 feet taller, we all loved these two together.

It was just last April that Bow Wow made it known he was still feeling some kinda way about Ciara and since it’s evident that they’re both still single, I wonder what the odds are of them hooking up again?

Just a thought.

What other “flashback” couples can you think of?
