Quantcast

Five years ago, Ace Hood and Shelah Marie met in a nightclub during NBA All-Star Weekend and last weekend, the couple brought their fairytale love story full circle with a beachside wedding in Miami.

The couple, who got engaged at Shelah's surprise birthday last April, was surrounded by a group of their closest family and friends at Mondrian South Beach to say "I do" and, while our invitation must have gotten lost in the mail, it's safe to say that their wedding photos were everything and we couldn't be happier for this couple. After the couple said their nuptials, Shelah even brought her girls out for a choreographed dance routine that left her man in shambles.

In a collage posted by Ace on Twitter, he wrote:

"Changing the narrative. Shifting generational curses. My GOD I'm so grateful."

In 2017, Ace and Shelah opened up about how yoga helped them find balance as individuals and it's clear that these two plan to keep that same energy in their marriage. In an exclusive interview with xoNecole, Shelah got real about how she met her one-day husband for the first time, and according to her, it was just as magical as you would have expected:

"He was in the back. There were all these women and celebrities around him. [Ace] saw me and parted the divider and went, 'Shelah, hi! I love your videos on Instagram and you're so funny.' He had this big smile and his eyes lit up. I said to myself, 'I'm f*cked. If I'm not supposed to go for it, I'm going for it. I don't care what happens.'"

Although the 34-year-old wellness influencer says that she initially had qualms with fitting the image of a "rapper's girlfriend", ultimately Shelah learned that she honestly didn't have to be anything more than herself. As a survivor of an abusive relationship, Shelah says that the secret to finding true love is to find it within yourself, first.

"Do not leave it in the hands of someone else to provide you what you need. Date yourself. Do nice things. Look good for yourself! Sometimes I'd get sad [or jealous], but I'd remind myself, 'Man, I feel so supported. I feel so loved.'"

Aries-April-2025-monthly-horoscopes

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Turns Out Sober Sex Might Be The Underrated Secret To Better Orgasms

Hmph. I know there has got to be at least three times a week when our grandparents will hear about something that folks present as being revolutionary that causes them to just roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and continue to go on with whatever they were doing. Listen, call it old-fashioned thinking if you want to but if you want to avoid a lot of unnecessary regret in this life, hang out with your elders (and actually listen to what they are saying) sometimes — they’ve already been where you are and, since when it comes to them, you can’t say the same, you just might get a few gems (in fact, I can almost guarantee it).

Take sobergasms, for instance. Oh, I’m willing to bet that a senior in your life has mentioned them, just in another way, before. If you’ve never heard of the term, it’s actually a pretty good one because it means just what you think it does: SOBER ORGASMS. And just to make sure that we all are on the same page, it’s sex — that hopefully includes orgasms — that involves very little to no alcohol.
