Love, 35, and Norwood, 39, married in August 2016. Four years later, Love decided to call it quits and filed for divorce in May.

The “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” couple share two 2-year-old daughter Melody Love and 6-month-old son Epik Ray Norwood.

Last November, Love and the “One Wish” singer came to a crossroads in their marriage after Love, who was eight months pregnant at the time, claimed Norwood abandoned her and baby Melody in Las Vegas following the BET Soul Train Awards. The singer denied his wife’s claims and scolded her for taking their marital woes to social media.

Norwood reportedly moved out of their home after the incident. Love said in an Instagram Live video that she didn’t “want to be married anymore. I don’t have time for this. This is not love. And I’m done,” said the model.

Despite their past issues, the reunited pair seems to be on good terms. They’ve apparently been spending more time together and with their kids following their marital drama. In a sweet video posted to Norwood’s Instagram page on Saturday, he gushed over how much baby Epik looked like Love, writing “BigBoyEP @epikraynorwood lookin jus like his momma!”

Following the news of Love and Norwood’s reconciliation, social media users have had mixed reactions.

“Here we go again,” an Instagram user commented on a blog post.

Another added, “That means she staying around for a bigger pay day after further discussions with her lawyer 👀.”

“They’re MARRIED. I wish nothing but happiness,” someone else commented.

One person urged the pair to keep their martial drama offline and said, “Ok now, keep y’all marriage to yourselves. Do your dirt in private or not at all!!”

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.
