Black and Smith got married in September 2023 at the Malibu Dream Resort in front of their 150 closest family members and friends. They spoke with PEOPLE about their special day and the thoughtful theme they had in mind. "Our last name is Black, so we always use it as a play on words," Black said of the event, which included elements of their shared Black culture. "We're from the South and we have these traditions that are very near and dear to our hearts that our parents and grandparents have shared. Our wedding is an homage to our ancestors with some elegant moments we've curated and loved as a couple... And it was better than I imagined." Smith debuted her baby bump in May, announcing her pregnancy with ESSENCE. She was hesitant to have kids since she was focused on her acting career, had fibroids, and suffered from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, Black changed her mind. "I didn't want kids at all. I aspired to be a rich auntie. I did not meet my husband until well into my 30s, so I had already decided," Smith told ESSENCE exclusively. "And then when he came into my life, and you meet a man who is responsible and a leader who takes charge and wants to be a father, wants to have a family, my mind changed as we grew and as we became a couple and married." She continued, "He was the main reason I wanted a child. I said, 'This would be a good experience with you as my partner and husband.' So I didn't anticipate having kids at all, and now I want as many as I can have." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! Black is also looking forward to parenthood. "My biological father was very absent in my life. So personally, it's something that I've always looked forward to. It's something that I've always dreamed of, how I was going to connect with my kid, or foster their dreams, so I'm elated," he told the publication. The BET Awards are airing live on Monday, June 9 from Los Angeles' Peacock Theater on BET. Read the original article on People
