For a certain group of famous white men, there's nothing that matches the grace and beauty
of a beautiful black woman. For some, it's become a pattern, while others have just had
a couple of high profile black women at their side on occasion. But, either way, it's safe
to say they don't discriminate when it comes to love. Here's a list of some of them--and
yes, it includes some of the hottest couples in Hollywood.
Magneto has multiple black women in his dating
history, including Zoe Kravitz, with whom he starred in X-Men: The First Class, and
Nicole Beharie, with whom he appeared in Shame.
Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana had an on-again, off-again relationship that ended in early
2012. They went on to co-star in the massive hit that was Guardians of the Galaxy.
When you go down the list of women George
Clooney, one of the most distinguished gentlemen of Hollywood, has dated you'll come across
his relationship with Kimberly Russell that lasted three years.
Robin Thicke's relationship with Paula Patton
was as public as they come. All the publicity may have contributed to their divorce after
a decade of marriage, which resulted in Robin devoting an entire album entitled Paula to
trying to win her back.
Robert De Niro's been married to Grace Hightower since 1997, resulting in two children. Before
Grace, he was in a long-term relationship with African American model Toukie Smith,
with whom he had twins.
Oh, did you not know that Brad Pitt and Robin Givens had a thing? That's at least how Mike
Tyson tells it, who claims he walked in on Pitt in bed with his wife.
There was once a rumor that Leonardo DiCaprio
only dated blondes. Sure, he dates a lot of them. But Rihanna's not a blonde and he definitely
dated her, and neither is Naomi Campbell.
Shia LaBeouf had a date with Rihanna too, but that was it because it didn't go anywhere.
And, while you may think that's not a big deal, have you had a date?
In 2009, Matthew McConaughey gave an interview to Elle Magazine where he drooled over black
women, their curves and what they wear to accentuate them. He also briefly dated Janet
Jackson in 2002.
The man behind the Star Wars franchise began dating Mellody Hobson, a chair for DreamWorks,
in 2006. The pair got married in 2013 and have a daughter together.
David Bowie's relationship with Somali-born
supermodel Iman was apparently love at first sight when the two met in 1990. Two years
later they were married, and remained so until Bowie passed away in 2016.
Paull Wall and his wife, Crystal, met when
they were in college together and only 21 years old. They went through their ups and
down together, though, including losing a total of 200 pounds as a couple.
We promise this entire list won't be made
up of guys dating Rihanna. But Ashton Kutcher falls into that category too after the two
had a fling for a couple months.
Orlando Bloom and Naomie Harris both played important roles in the Pirates of the Caribbean
movie series. But did you know they played important roles in each other's lives when
they dated back in 2007?
Justin Timberlake was reportedly seen around Hollywood getting close and personal with
Tatyana M. Ali back in 2003. So, after Britney and but before Jessica. There were also rumors
he had a real thing going on with Janet Jackson. You know, outside of that unforgettable Super
Bowl performance.
Marlon Brando was known for his highly publicized and fast-paced love life. He also earned a
reputation for almost exclusively sleeping with women of color for most of his adult
life.
Last one. We promise. Josh Hartnett got caught kissing Rih Rih at an event back in 2007.
Rumors circulated saying they dated for a couple months but, whatever their thing was,
it didn't last long.
Dirk Nowiztki's been married to Jessica Olsson since 2012 and the couple has two children
together.
Chris Noth met his future wife Tara in 2002 when she was working at a bar he owned in
New York City. They'd go on to date for years and even have a son before walking down the
aisle in 2012.
David Moscow, mostly known for co-starring in Big, was in a long-term relationship with
Kerry Washington from 2004-2007.
If you google search "Colin Farrell and Nicole Narain" just know that you'll need to clear
your browser history right after. And make sure you're not at work. That's all that needs
to be said about that.
The pinnacle of film critics was married to his wife, Chaz, from 1992 until his death
in 2013. She's still the CEO of all of his companies and websites.
Matt Stone is one of the two minds that have
collaborated to bring us South Park and Baseketball. Apparently the person he found to love him
and his sense of humor was then-Comedy Central exec, Angela Howard.
Wolfgang Puck, the famous chef and restauranteur,
married Gelila Assefa. The couple decided to make it official after saying that they
already acted like they were married.
Simon Cowell once dated the famous singer Sinitta. (Brad Pitt also dated Sinitta briefly
in the late 1980s.)
Phil Collen, the lead guitarist of Def Leppard, had been married three times now. But if you
think the third time's the charm then his marriage to African American fashion designer
Helen L. Simmons is going to be the one that really works.
As far as journalism awards go, Adam Housley's
won some of the biggest. But proudest achievement may be the family he started with Tamera Mowry,
who he married in 2011.
Gabriel Aubry continues to win at life. For one, his jawline looks like it was chiseled
by Greek gods from the finest marble known to man. But on top of that, he's part of a
very elite group of men that can say they had a relationship with Halle Berry.
Penn Badgley dated Zoe Kravitz for two years,
ending in 2013. The two young actors just couldn't manage to support a relationship
and their careers.
If you're a fan of Grey's Anatomy, you know exactly who Justin Chambers is. He's not Dr.
McDreamy or Dr. McSteamy. But he's still one of the handsome doctors the show's filled
with. He's been off the market since 1993 after saying "I do" with his wife Keisha.
