Actor Lance Gross and celebrity stylist Rebecca Gross are one of the cutest Black Hollywood couples, and we just can’t get enough of their “family of four” moments.
The couple got married in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Berkeley in 2014. In July 2018, the couple welcomed their son Lennon. With work, fittings and travel peppered into their schedule, the Gross family still maintains a solid family dynamic making plenty of time for their kiddos.
At the 2019 Essence Festival, Gross told the audience about a time where he chose to make a huge sacrifice for his family.
“When I was having my daughter, I got offered a role that shot in Atlanta and we’re from Los Angeles,” the Star actor explained. “The only thing I wanted during negotiations was to be able to fly home in case my wife went into labor. That was the only thing I needed them to guarantee, and they couldn’t.”
