MARIAH CAREY AND NICK CANNON, LA LA ANTHONY CARMELO ANTHONY COVER EBONY MAGAZINE "BLACK LOVE ISSUE"

Nothing like love of any shade but there is truly something special when "Black Love" happens.  After five years, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are still deep in love. The power couple, who will celebrate their fifth anniversary in April, graces the February 2014 issue of Ebony. The pop diva dons a red dress and heels, while her husband rocks a matching red blazer while standing in a pool.

The issue, which celebrates black love, also features other hot couples including Ciara and Future and LeBron James and Savannah Brinson.

In the magazine, Mariah and Nick open up about love, Dem Babies, and Mariah’s upcoming album The Art of Letting Go.

During her appearance on NBC’s “New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly,” Mariah announced that her new single would drop on Valentine’s Day, with her album to follow in the spring.

And in over Ebony Cover news, LaLa Anthony and her NBA baller husband Carmelo are also on a cover couple for EBONY Magazine's Valentine's issue. 

When asked what ignites their love and how they maintain the passion in their relationships, the twosome said:

“There were people coming in and out of my life, and I didn’t really know whom to trust. She was one of the people who stood by my side through thick and thick. Even to this day, she’s always right there.” 

–Carmelo Anthony

“…We knew no matter what, we wanted each other. We needed [to be] in each other’s life, and that’s what’s been able to sustain this relationship all those years.”

–La La Anthony

Actors David and Tamela Mann are on the third cover.  And advice from the veteran couple:

“Stay in love because when you’re in love, it covers a multitude of fault. Our relationship wasn’t based on good sex or having a lot of money. It was based on just straight friendship. That’s what has kept us.”

–David
