Congratulations to Eve and her husband, Maximillion Cooper, who have welcomed their baby boy to the world. The iconic emcee announced to her social media that she had delivered a healthy baby boy on February 1st named Wilde Wolf Fife Alexander Somers Cooper.

“Our Beautiful boy was born February 1st 2022 [blue heart emoji].” Eve penned before adding, “Words cant describe this feeling.”

Fans and social media users were happy to share the excitement with the 43-year-old rapper. This would be Eve’s first child and Cooper’s fourth. In an interview with People Magazine, Eve shared her experience as a stepmom to Cooper’s children with his ex-wife, ages 19, 17, 15, and 13.

“It’s been now 10 and a half years I’ve been in their lives and they’ve been in my life. They’ve grounded me.” She stated before admitting it wasn’t an easy adjustment. “I will say it took years, though, I’m not gonna lie. It did take two or three years to adjust, just our relationship with the kids. But I have to say I’m very lucky. I feel very, very lucky that I had my insta-kids — I call them my bonus children!”

Cooper posted the picture of their newborn to his social media with the caption, “Let the wild rumpus begin!”

Congratulations to Eve and her husband, Maximillion Cooper, on their new bundle of joy!

Happy Loving Day Interracial Marriage Legalized 54 Years Ago

Happy Loving Day Interracial Marriage Legalized 54 Years Ago Today Eve and Maximillion Cooper

54 years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court legalized interracial marriage. It’s officially Loving Day.

On June 12, 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of a young couple, Mildred Jeter Loving and Richard Loving and struck down state laws prohibiting interracial marriages as unconstitutional. A monumental case Loving v. Virginia.

Prior to 1967, any interracial marriages or sexual relations were defined as felonies. The laws also prohibited the issuance of a marriage license and the solemnization of weddings between mixed race couples. Citing Blacks and Whites, Blacks and Asians, Blacks and Native Americans and Blacks and Filipinos. Also prohibiting the officiating of such ceremonies.

In 1959 a year after their marriage, The Lovings were sentenced to one year in prison, for being together but the presiding Judge, Leon M. Bazile suspended their sentence on the condition that they would leave Virginia and not return together for a period of 25 years.

It wasn’t that long ago to think that 16 states out of this “Great Land of Liberty and Freedom” would need to deem interracial marriages legal just for people to love and live with their forever person. 

I think of my grandparents Charles Constantino and Elenor Jane who married and left Sandusky, Ohio for being a mixed couple. They went to Boston, Massachusetts where the laws had been repealed since the late 1880’s. Grateful today to be standing on the shoulders of Mildred and John Loving. Since today is the historic anniversary of the 1967 U.S. Supreme Court decision a.k.a. Loving Day it’s only right to celebrate inclusion and diversity.

Here are a few of our favorite interracial couples in Hip Hop that continue to inspire love and diversity everyday. Love is love.
