Codie & Tommy Oliver (Creators)“Black Love” explores the many different journeys of married couples and their unique journeys to become one. The Olivers launched the show as newlyweds and throughout each season, they centered “Black Love” in its many facets with a multitude of couples. Their commitment to increase representation and create transparency around marriage in the Black community via the series as well as their company Black Love, Inc. (which includes Blacklove.com, the Black Love Plus app, a thriving podcast network, and socials that exceed 70M monthly impressions) has made Black Love cool again. The Olivers have now been married for seven years and raise three sons under six years old. As their marriage and family have quickly evolved, so has the show’s exploration of marital topics and themes.

What do you think? Will you be sad to see Black Love end on OWN? Do you plan to watch the final season?
Hi Oprah, I love Black Love, and I hope it continues! If not I’ll be sad to see it go away. Although I’m 65 and don’t want to be married now, watching this show makes me want to be married, even though I’m not in a relationship. What I would like to know is what about you? What inspired you to add Black Love to OWN, and when you watch the show, does it inspire you to want to be married to Stedman?
