And My Man! Miracle Watts Pens Sweet Message For Tyler Lepley On Their Anniversary As A Couple

Miracle Watts and Tyler Lepley are celebrating a new milestone in their romance! And the fashion entrepreneur didn’t miss the chance to praise her man publicly!

Watts took to Instagram on Friday (July 21) with a sweet message for Tyler and photos of them. Miracle Watts is dressed in a gold fishnet dress paired with matching underwear and gold strappy heels in the four flicks posted. She accessorized with gold earrings and a mustard-colored purse. The outfit is tagged with her clothing brand, Miracle’s Kloset.

Meanwhile, Tyler matched his queen’s aesthetic with deep brown slacks and a grey sweater with brown and mustard-colored stripes. He paired the look with white sneakers and brown-tinted sunglasses.

And despite earning a reputation for being a FOINE, well-dressed couple, Mircale’s message for Tyler focused on their collective love, friendship, and growing pains.

“Today, we go into our 3rd year of love and friendship. It’s been a rollercoaster, but Ive always loved a GOOD RIDE, lol,” she wrote adding a tongue and white hear emojies. “I love this man, this good fine Black man!! & when you got something good, you hold onto it!”

Miracle Watts & Tyler Lepley Have Been PDA’ing Since Confirming Their Romance

Watts and Lepley reportedly met in 2021 while filming for season two of P-Valley, per Essence. During her short stint on the show, Miracle Watts also played the role of Lepley’s love interest.

In real life, though, the couple started dating on June 14 of that year. However, they didn’t make their relationship public until October 2021, when Miracle Watts posted a photo of them, captioned with their future anniversary date.

It’s unclear why Miracle stated this is their “3rd year of love and friendship,” given that meeting in 2021 would mean they’ve been together romantically for two years. However, she could be leaning on the “friendship” part to describe her timeline.

About a month before their one-year anniversary, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together. By October 2022, Miracle had given birth to a son the couple named Xi Le.

In February, ‘The Haves And Have Nots’ actor opened up about how Miracle loves him.

Miracle does such a great job of just loving me for everything and just the fullness of who I am and everything that comes with it, Lepley said.

 

The following month Lepley went viral for how he praised Miracle Watts’ postpartum body in a “wifey appreciation post.”

“First of all, today is wifey appreciation day. Come on, let me get a little 360, girl. We talking about the most beautiful girl in the world. Hold on, yall got to see this motherf***er up close, Tyler said.

At Essence Festival this year, he spoke about how it feels to be loved by a Black woman and name-dropped Watts.

“The one thing I realized as a Black man is, like, the last thing I want to do after going to war with the world is go home for round two. In these choppy waters out here, gotta go home, have someone understand my struggles, be that calm waters for me. We can learn together, dream together. We got that commonality of what we go through in life, in culture. It’s just something I can always fall back on, accompanied with that. Shoutout to my baby Miracle, love you babe!
