Work and collaborations

They've reunited on screen several times, including Brown Sugar (2002), Downsized (2017) and Safe Room (2022). Kodjoe's first film role was in Love & Basketball (2000), and the duo also hosted The Boris & Nicole Show in 2015.

The secret sauce

Across interviews they credit steady communication, small daily gestures and deliberate choice. Kodjoe has urged treating your partner like a girlfriend and 'watering the plant' every day. They marked milestones together, from Kodjoe's 50th in 2023 to a 20th anniversary getaway in 2025.
