Famous black people who were lucky enough to have married their celebrity crush

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey

Nick and Mariah first met at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards while he presented her with an award she just won.

When asked in an interview the nature of their relationship, Nick said, “ At one point, I was like, ‘I’ma get Mariah Carey,'” Nick recalled on TV One’s Uncensored. “It turned from my celebrity crush to like, ‘Nah, she’s about to be my girlfriend.’ People were like, ‘You’re bugging. There’s no way you can get Mariah Carey.’ I was like, ‘Watch, I’m telling you.'”
