Star actor Omar Epps is known for his sterling roles in Hollywood's blockbuster movies, and he has also earned for himself some accolades. However, behind the scenes, Epps is a family man who shares his love life with Keisha Spivey Epps, his wife of 16 years.

Epps grew up fatherless after his dad abandoned him and his mother, Bonnie, in Brooklyn when he was younger. He never got to know his dad, which ultimately inspired him to become the best dad he could be.

Despite the challenges of being a Hollywood couple, Epps and his wife have stayed off scandals and controversies and often steal the show at red carpet events.

While it seems they have everything figured out, their relationship had some bad times, too. The "Juice" actor and his wife once dated in the '90s, but they later went their separate ways.

After being together for over a decade, the couple decided that breaking up was just not an option for them. Ultimately, it changed their whole dynamic. He once said:

"For us, we just took breaking up off the table. That changed the whole dynamic of how we argue, solve problems..."

There's no stopping Omar and Keisha Epps when it comes to showing off their love on social media. Despite their strong love for each other, they make sure not to forget about their own personal feelings, advocating self-love on top of loving one another.
