The 2026 BET Awards took place on Sunday night (June 28) in Los Angeles, and as usual, your favorites stepped. Stars left behind the light cocktail dresses in favor of big glamour. The performances were epic (I’m still thinking about the Lauryn Hill tribute). And perhaps our favorite part of the night was what happened before the show even got started. We’re talking Black love on the white carpet. There were plenty of pairings, from reality TV lovebirds like Porsha Williams and her partner Sway, to classic couples, including Warryn and Erica Campbell, to musical matches like Tobe and Fat Nwigwe, and newlyweds like DeVon Franklin and his wife Maria Castillo. Quite the sweet sight to see. We gathered up the couples we saw who made the BET Awards date night.
