February 2025 was a month to remember, and not just because of Kendrick Lamar’s electrifying Super Bowl performance, Trump’s wild pitch for a $5 million gold card as a route to U.S. citizenship, or the passing of the legendary Roberta Flack (RIP, Queen).
It was also a month filled with sweet Black love moments. From swoon-worthy engagements (ssup, Winnie Harlow) to heartfelt, triumphant wins (A$AP & Rihanna, we’re looking at you) and stolen Super Bowl kisses (shoutout to the Burrows), Black love was celebrated loudly and proudly.
So, to wrap up our first month of This Thing Called Love (btw, my inbox is still waiting on more cute love stories), we rounded up some of the standout moments that made February extra special.
Keep scrolling for Black Love at its finest.
