Talk about the perfect balance!
The only time you hear about Morris Chestnut in the news headlines is when he has a new movie or TV show out. Otherwise, he’s at home taking care of his lovely wife and children and ensuring that their private life stays, well, private. We like that, Morris! Keep doing what you’re doing, lovely.

We all know he’s crazy for his wife Pauletta Washington and their beautiful children, and he never forgets to thank them for all they’ve given him throughout the years when he’s giving an acceptance speech. Consider this another standing ovation for you, Mr. Washington!
Singer John Legend wowed us all from the start with his sultry voice and gorgeous looks, but ever since he fell madly in love with model Christine Teigen (who he married just two weeks ago!) he has no problem sharing the spotlight with her.

When Los Angeles Clippers point guard cutie Chris Paul isn’t scoring points on the court, he’s at home spending quality time with his wife and kids.

Seriously, their love is the cutest and it only makes us love him more.
Miami Heat superstar LeBron James has most likely had his share of offers from women who were interested in getting to know him (a lot) better, but he has always stayed true to one lovely lady in particular—his new wife Savannah Brinson.

Duane Martin adds his swagger to the cast of The Real Husbands of Hollywood and we love him on the show.
