‘It’s the Black Love and the Twizzlers for Me’: Tami Roman Shares Photo Coupled Up with Her Husband

It ain’t Valentine’s Day, but former “Basketball Wives” reality diva and actress Tami Roman has hearts booming all around her as she poses in a seductive red bedroom with her husband, Reggie Youngblood. The “Marriage Boot Camp: Family Edition” couple was camera ready as Roman posed in a silky black lingerie dress and rose-printed silk cardigan, and rocked an ombré hairstyle.

Roman, 50, rested her hand on her thigh, with her wedding ring dazzling.

Youngblood, 33, sported a black-and-brown cheetah print button-up and black slacks. “When you’re with the one you love, it doesn’t feel like work ❤️,” “The Family Business” actress captioned the gallery of flicks.

Fans not only fawned over Roman and Youngblood’s sultry looks, but the setup of their table which included none other than Twizzlers.

“Beautiful couple 💕💕.”

“It’s Black love & Twizzlers for me😍🔥🔥🔥.”

“Black Love 🖤🖤🖤.”

“I just love yall two. Y’all are the best.”

“Such a beautiful couple, omg ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍.”

“My favorite couple 😍😍😍.”

For the most part, Roman’s Instagram page is tailored to her career endeavors and fashion looks. But the mother of two wanted to give a glimpse of not only her work but her husband as well.

Nine months ago, Roman appeared on FOX Soul discussing with singer Keyshia Cole about her and Youngblood’s surrogacy talks. While Roman is the mother of two daughters, Lyric and Jazz Anderson, by ex-husband and retired NBA player Kenny Anderson, Youngblood has no children.

The pair sadly also had to deal with three miscarriages.

“We tried three times. We, unfortunately, suffered three miscarriages. And, you know, now we’re considering a surrogate,” Roman admitted.

“You know, something like that. I saw Kandi had somebody have her baby … I said, ‘Oh okay, chile, that’s what we doing now?’ So we got the eggs, and we harvested those, and now we’re looking for a person to carry.”

While it hasn’t been revealed that the two are expecting, they do seem happy. Roman and Youngblood tied the knot in 2018 in a private ceremony. The pair celebrated their two-year anniversary on Aug. 17.

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.
