Cole and Hale have publicly been dating since early 2018 and appear to be madly in love. Their relationship formed nearly a year after she filed for divorce from estranged husband and former NBA player Daniel “Boobie” Gibson, with whom she shares 10-year-old son Daniel Gibson Jr. Their divorce has yet to be finalized.

The award-winning artist and Hale welcomed their first child together, son Tobias Khale, on Thursday, August 1. They finally revealed their child’s facial identity on their new reality show “My New Life” which aired on Monday, Nov. 18. In a post from earlier this week, Cole shared pics of her and Hale’s newborn son and added in her caption, “@tobiaskhale is the sweetest baby, OMG. He’s such a little blessing, and I’m completely in love with him! The smiles he gives EVERY SINGLE Time you smile at him, Brightens the worst of days.”

Still independent.

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.
