Quantcast

Actor Tyler Lepley opened up about the profound impact his longtime partner Miracle Watts has had on his life, emphasizing how she consistently brings him an overwhelming sense of peace.

For context, Lepley and Watts' romance began after the pair met during the season two taping of Starz's hit series P-Valley. The couple portrayed love interests Big Bone and Diamond in the show. Lepley and Watts' onscreen romance transitioned into reality as the actress unveiled in an Instagram post that they have allegedly been in a relationship since June 2021.


Since then, Lepley and Watts have showcased their love on social media numerous times. Most recently, the couple expanded their family by welcoming their first child, a son named Xi Lei Lepley. In addition to his son with Watts, Lepley also has two other children from a previous relationship.

During a discussion panel at Essence Fest earlier this month, Lepley shared why he feels his relationship with Watts is a solid foundation.

Tyler On His Relationship With Miracle

When asked what the Harlem star loves about Black women, mainly his partner, Lepley revealed that he admires Watts' ability to rectify any situation he may be going through in the outside world by supporting him through his struggles and being the peace he needs.

"I'm going to speak from my experience. You know, going home every day to a Black woman has been all the foundation I ever needed in my life," he said. "I'll say it like this. The last thing that a man, a Black man, wants to go home to after going to war with the world is come home to round two. So, you know, my Black woman understands that, you know, she is my peace, and she is there for me when I come undone."

The 36-year-old wrapped up the conversation by continuing to praise Watts and disclose why Black women, in general, are influential.

"But, you know, she's there to give me that same strength that I need to build myself back up. So there is a beautiful juxtaposition of what a Black woman truly is," he stated.

This isn't the first time that Lepley has shown appreciation to Watts. In a March social media post --which has since gone viral-- Lepley was seen attempting to cheer a visibly emotional Watts up as she dealt with postpartum woes, such as weight gain after giving birth to their son. In the clip, Lepley can be heard saying how beautiful Watts is and how much he loves her.

Lepley's love and admiration for Watts, from his kind gestures to public discussions, continues to inspire others not to settle and seek out healthy relationships.

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.
