In addition to there being a plethora of gorgeous Black men moving around New Orleans for ESSENCE Festival of Culture (it’s not just for the “aunties” thank you very much!), it’s always nice to see some of those men boo’d up with their partners. There are certainly plenty of opportunities to hear great conversations at ESSENCE Fest, to eat good food and to see some amazing performances, but the weekend spent enjoying the event is also a great opportunity for a romantic getaway in the Big Easy. So many stars and their significant others have come down to take part in the event and stayed for the fun, and cameras have snapped them doing just that. So if you’ll be celebrating our 30th anniversary with us in July, keep an eye out for some star-studded lovers. In the meantime, scroll down to see Black celebrity couples at ESSENCE Festival over the years.
