Black Celebrity Men

The oh-so-beautiful Morris Chestnut sat down with Sister 2 Sister magazine and spilled details about his personal life. In the interview he discussed how he met his wife, being a father an his longevity in the entertainment business.

Peep the excerpts from the article below.

MORRIS ON HOW HE MET & FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS WIFE: We met in a club. I was doing something in Atlanta and at the time it was Deion Sanders, Ron Grant and a dude named Tiny Lister (Deebo from Friday). I was doing a tv movie out there and I went to the club. Tiny was living in Atlanta. he knew the ins and outs of the city, and he was just like, Mr. Atlanta. We were hanging out in the club and he told me about this chick, that chick, whatever. Then I saw Pam, who is my wife, and I said, 'What's up with her?'He said, 'Nah, man, don't waste your time. She don't give anybody no play.' So as soon as he said that, I was like, 'That's the woman I need to go holler at.' One of the things that made me truly realize that I wanted her to be my wife is the way she was. She has three older sisters and they have kids. Her nephew was very young at the time, and when we were dating I would see the way she was with kids. I've always thought that she was a good person and attractive and all that, but one of the primary reasons why I wanted her to be my wife was because I knew that she would be an excellent mother to my kids.

MORRIS ON HOW HIS WIFE FEELS ABOUT HIS ONSCREEN LOVE SCENES: She knows that she is number one to me. She's very secure and comfortable in our marriage.

MORRIS ON RAISING & DISCIPLINING HIS CHILDREN: Just in general, I always tell them when I drop them off to school to be smart and be good people. I have a son and a daughter. My son is 12 and my daughter will be 11 this month. From an early age I would always teach my son, 'I don't care what your sister does, you never hit a woman.' It took a while because kids are kids. But, 'Never, ever, hit a woman. I don't care if she does it, you always come tell me.' I've never hit my daughter. My daughter worries about her mother before me. I'm a strong disciplinarian, and they always know certain things are going to get a 'no' from me. But when they know they've done something wrong they don't want to feel the wrath of their mother.
