PATTI LABELLE IS LOOKING FOR LOVE

Patti LaBelle may be 75-years-old, but she's still a hopeless romantic who believes in true love and commitment.

As far as Patti is concerned, it's never too late to find love, and walk down the aisle with the man of her dreams. She said:

“I still have time to find a husband. I don’t want a boyfriend. I want a husband.”

LaBelle, who was married for 34 years to ex-husband Armstead Edwards, has even planned what she'll wear for her wedding to Mr. Right: a gown designed by her friend Zang Toi.
