Adorable bob
Just when you thought these two couldn’t get any cuter, Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker reveal sexy, fun, and new details about their sweet romance. Prepare to pass out!

She wears her
“You gotta keep the sexy alive,” Parker says pajamas. “So I’m going to sleep in his pajamas. I’m wearing something sexy and I’m really nice and really nice. It works every time!

They went to a gala on their first date
“We went to the Arthur Ashe Foundation gala in New York in 2002,” Kodjoe says. “We went to the gala and then there would be adult content that I can’t share with you. (Laughs)’

She likes to touch him
him “In public, his size and stature, the way he walks and the way he behaves excite me,” Parker exclaims. “But, in private, her skin is like butter. It’s just like, oh my God. Thank you, Jesus, every night. Sexy, sexy!

Loading… Loading…

Boris was slick from the start
“He’s like the Billy D. Williams of the 21st century,” Parker gushed.

They were on their nerves
‘On our first date, it wasn’t as if we had never met,’ explains Kodjoe. “We had been working together on Soul Food for two years. “I dated her the first time I met her in front of the cameras.

They first dated the long distance
“Right after we met, her character was written off the show,” Parker says. “And so I was like, okay, so we’re going to do this, but we’re going to do this over long distances. You know, actors fall in love on set all the time and so the real test was going to be, like, do we still feel the same about not being together every day. Clearly, they passed!

It was Boris’s idea to move in together
‘I knew I wanted to buy a house, so I started looking for a house in California, and we had like a week off from the show, so I came home to look at properties and Boris said can find a bigger house if we look together. I was like ‘Hey!’ That kind of message let me know he was here to win too,” Parker shares.

Boris is a great listener
“You know, my wife, when she’s in a bad mood or angry about something, you have to let her go through the process,” he says. “She likes to let off steam. She just wants to leave and she doesn’t want me to solve the problem. She just wants me to listen. I have to learn this because usually I jump in and try to save her, figure out her stuff and beat someone up, but she really wanted me to listen. I could rub her shoulder as she vacates or just watch her. And, for me, it gives me space. For example, I have to go for a run on the beach or play an hour of tennis.

Nicole’s The Jokester When He Needs Her
“Now if I needed to cheer him up, I’m definitely the comedian in the family,” Parker says. “I will totally resort to all sorts of comedic antics to cheer him up. I’m doing a whole one-woman show. I’m like the Carol Burnett of the family. ‘

Nicole’s secret to lasting love
“I always say the minute you find your husband, you make him your boyfriend,” Parker says of keeping the vibes light and fun at home. Although they go over tasks and responsibilities together, they haven’t stopped the sexy chats or romantic dinners at home.

It’s their dream
Parker and Kodjoe tell us they’ve always wanted to do a show together, so The Boris and Nicole Show (which debuts on FOX July 6) is a dream come true.
