With the return of Black Love on OWN, Friday, May 14th, we’re introducing the Black Love community to the Season 5 couples.
Erica & Karl

Erica & Karl
Years married: 6.5
Residence: Inglewood, CA
What we love about them: After meeting on a dating app and hitting it off on the first date, they married and were quickly tested by infertility struggles and a cancer-scare. Yet through it all, they remain partners supporting each other on their journey of life together – and finding ways to laugh and keep their joy.
Memorable Black Love quote: “This man loved me enough to pay to have a child with me and show me he valued having a family with me.” -Erica
