Did ‘LHHH’ Stars Brooke Valentine and Marcus Black Officially Tie the Knot?

It seems that “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” couple Brooke Valentine and Marcus Black have officially tied the knot.

Valentine took to her Instagram on Feb. 22 with a photo of herself and Black posing together in their Fashion Nova fits. She also shared one of herself sporting a massive rock on her marriage finger. The images prompted fans to ask a series of questions including one inquiring about the status of the couple’s relationship.

One fan in particular asked if the pair were wedded and if the “Girlfight” singer who pledged chastity last season, was still celibate.

“Are you married yet sis and are you still celibate?” the person commented.

Valentine responded, “Yes and no.”

When another fan implied that she and Black weren’t married because “it would’ve said it on the Internet,” the singer told him to not give “it that much credit.”

Valentine also confirmed to her Instagram followers that her and the rapper’s marriage would not be on “Love and Hip Hop.”

Fans rooting for the “LHHH” couple swarmed them with congratulations and warm wishes.

“Great!” one fan exclaimed. “Congrats my favorite couple.”

“Finally!” another added. “Yayy congrats ❤️!”

Valentine and Black ended season 5 of “LHHH” as an engaged couple after the “Made a Way” rapper proposed to her at a shotgun wedding she arranged for them.

In front of their parents, Black pulled out a diamond studded ring, got down on one knee and told the Houston native, “I’d like to celebrate our engagement. … If it’s not too much would you mind being my wife?”

She nodded her head yes and agreed to be his wife-to-be.

The pair have been off-and-on for years due to Black’s past infidelities and Valentine’s fear of commitment. However, the couple have seemingly worked past their relationship woes and appear to be married.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
