We Asked 7 Couples to Share Their Love Stories With Us
Our Cosmo Couples series is stronger than ever. Our continued goal? To spot real-life couples, learn about who they are, uncover the magic that makes them click, and snap some really cute photos that prove love is real. So far, we've tackled Manhattan, London, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Brooklyn. And for our seventh installment we tapped our own talent network to photograph select couples from the absolutely stacked guest list of our inaugural Cosmopolitan Love Ball—hosted in partnership with Bumble and BOOM at The Standard, High Line—to coincide with Valentine's Day! We asked them about how they met, how long they've been together, and exactly what makes their relationships work. Our takeaway after chatting with these clearly obsessed with each other pairings? We've got further proof that true love does, in fact, exist. 35, writer, actor, comedian, and It Boy + 34, TV personality and It GirlYears together: 2 Robby: It's unbelievable what I've pulled here. She's the biggest fish in the sea. Gabby: After our first date, she pulled over, turned on some music, and was like, 'We're gonna kiss.' Robby: If you like it, we continue. If you don't, you go home. Why are we wasting any more time? Gabby: She knew I would like it, of course. 34, model and TV host + 36, filmmakerYears together: 2.5 Lauren: This is Hayley's first time at BOOM.

Former Christian music star admits drug-fueled 'double life'
A man known for singing Christian music responded to allegations of substance abuse and sexual assault of other men, saying they are "largely true." Michael Tait, formerly of the bands Newsboys and DC Talk, took to Instagram on Tuesday to post what he called, "My confession." "Recent reports of my reckless and destructive behavior, including drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity are sadly, largely true," Tait wrote. "For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way." "I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it-sin," he said. The singer went on to say that he left Newsboys in January to "get help." Tait's words came nearly a week after a report from Christian investigative journalism outlet The Roys Report (TRR) with accusations dating back to 2004. TRR says their investigation into Tait lasted 2.5 years and included interviews with "more than 50 sources." Two men said while they were 22 years old, Tait allegedly fondled their genitals after they had drunk alcohol with him. Tait's former band posted their own statement on social media on June 5, saying the four members' "hearts were shattered" when they read the allegations. "First and foremost, our hearts are with the victims who have bravely shared their stories. If you are a victim, we urge you to come forward. We absolutely do not condone any form of sexual assault," Newsboys wrote on Facebook. "When he left the band in January, Michael confessed to us and our management that he 'had been living a double-life' but we never imagined that it could be this bad," Newsboys said. Tait, 59, joined Newsboys in 2009. Prior to that, he was the lead singer for Christian rap trio DC Talk, according to the New York Post.

Christian Music Star Michael Tait Breaks Silence On Sexual Abuse Allegation
Wondering why Michael Tait is making headlines across the Christian music world? The former Newsboys frontman recently admitted to serious misconduct. A years-long investigation had revealed allegations of drug abuse and sexual assault. Michael Tait's 'confession' followed a detailed report involving multiple alleged victims. Here's what we know about the allegations and Michael Tait's 'confession.' On June 10, Michael Tait shared a post on Instagram titled 'My Confession.' He admitted to drug use and unwanted sexual advances on men. His statement followed the release of an investigative article by The Roys Report, which accused Tait of misconduct over a span of two decades. Tait wrote, 'Recent reports of my reckless and destructive behavior, including drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity are sadly, largely true.' In the post, Tait confessed, 'For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way.' He said he made no excuses, adding, 'While I might dispute certain details in the accusations against me, I do not dispute the substance of them.' He also acknowledged, 'I was, for the most part, living two distinctly different lives.' Tait left Newsboys abruptly in January 2025. On June 4, The Roys Report revealed three men accused Tait of assault during tours in 2004, 2010, and 2014. Two said he fondled them after drinking. One alleged non-consensual touching after Tait invited him to share a bed. Newsboys responded in a June 5 statement, writing, 'We are horrified, heartbroken, and angry… we feel as if we and our families have been deceived for the last fifteen years.' K-LOVE and other Christian radio networks paused airplay for Newsboys and DC Talk music after the story broke. Tait wrote that he had entered a treatment facility in Utah earlier this year and had been sober since. 'I accept the consequences of my sin and am committed to continuing the hard work of repentance and healing,' he stated. He concluded by apologizing to those hurt by his actions.
