Couples I Love – Part 1

Ice and Coco

Ice says when he met Coco she told him she wanted a nice guy.

Ice said: 'If you take the 'n' away from nice you get 'ice' baby.'

Celebuzz article:

“Ice, what tips would you have for bachelors out there to land a great girl like Coco?

“Ice: Get your sh*t together. … When I say get yourself together, I mean not only financially but mentally. You don’t wanna be a guy that nags and drives a chick crazy. You wanna be a mellow, good guy if you want a good girl, and the same goes for woman. Stop worrying about what’s so wrong with the guys and take a good look at yourself. You’re going to get what you give. … I think people have unjustifiable egos and you got the guy that’s got no job, out of shape, he’s not together but he wants some supermodel. And you got the girl that’s not really taking care of herself, she’s all fu***** up and wants some handsome rich man. And nah, not gonna happen (laughs). Step your game up and you’ll get your equal usually.”

Interesting advice from the perspective of Ice T.

Coco and Ice have something that is truly beautiful. I’ve watched a few of their episodes and I find it refreshing to see a real couple –true to themselves.  I thought it was so cute of Ice to play the jealous role and come check Coco out when she was taking dance lessons.  It let her know that he’s still interested in her and wants to protect what’s his by checking out the scene. I also thought it was so sweet of Ice to have Coco’s favorite medium/psychic visit her because he knows how excited his wife and her mother were about this man.  I also love the face that Coco says whatever she thinks –freely- and that’s one thing I know Ice loves about her. 

They practice communication skills, giving each other space, and still have a strong love affair. There is partnership that is so evident - everyone should root for their love.  It’s wonderful for a man not to be threatened by their woman’s pursuits but truly supportive of your spouse.  I thought it was so sweet when Coco was doing a photo shoot and was not successful with her look.  He waited, spoke to her alone, and gave her constructive feedback and gave her that: “baby do your thing!” talk and she came back and nailed the shoot due to his feedback and encouragement. 

A good man looks out for his woman in every way and wants her to be happy. A good woman loves and supports her man and is his most valuable cheerleader.  Love of a lifetime.

They are beautiful.  A gangster and a bombshell stand the test of time.  Simply beautiful.
