Not everyone can say they’ve been married for 21 years, especially not in Hollywood. But actors Campbell-Martin and Martin have hit that milestone. The stars met while rising to fame in the ’90s on the small screen (Campbell-Martin on “Martin“) and big screen (Martin in “Above The Rim”), respectively, and have been going strong ever since.
Take a glimpse through a gallery of the spouses’ sweetest moments captured on Campbell-Martin’s IG and witness how the love has never dwindled between the pair.
Ever the doting husband, Martin surprised his wife with a mixed arrangement to celebrate the first day of filming on season 2 of Campbell-Martin’s series, “Dr. Ken.” (@tishacampbellmartin/Instagram)
What could be sweeter than Campell-Martin describing the love their sons Xen and Ezekiel have for their dad on his birthday? “They admire, emulate and love youuuuuuuu and no present can be greater!” (@tishacampbellmartin/Instagram)
Last year, Campbell-Martin celebrated the couple’s 20th wedding anniversary by captioning this lovey-dovey pic with lyrics from the Tony! Toni! Toné! classic, “Anniversary.” “#doyouknowwhattodayis #itsouranniversary.” (@tishacampbellmartin/Instagram)
While taking on the #MobbDeepChallenge, Martin spit some bars calling his wife “a queen” and saying her looks are fit for a CoverGirl makeup campaign. (@tishacampbellmartin/Instagram)
Campbell-Martin happily shared this snapshot with dance legend Debbie Allen (center) and Martin, who his wife recalled was “sooo proud of me” as she rehearsed for “The Hot Chocolate Nutcracker” in December. (@tishacampbellmartin/Instagram)
The singer-actress supports her hubby, too. She promoted his appearance in the hit New Edition miniseries earlier this year. (@tishacampbellmartin/Instagram)
Democracy needs journalism it can trust.
This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.
For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.
Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
