Mary J. Blige recently confirmed that she was off the market following a messy divorce, and it appears her new romance is going from strength to strength with the R&B icon revealing she’s in love with her new man.
On Wednesday (March 6), Blige made a series of appearances to promote her upcoming Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit, which arrives in New York for the first time in May.
However, the “Real Love” hitmaker also opened up about her new relationship and her desire to never give up on finding the right partner.
“I still believe in love,” she said during an appearance on CBS Mornings. “I’m not going to give up on love,” she said, adding that she wants romance in her life.
When co-host Gayle King asked her if she is in love now, Blige replied, “Yeah, I am!” The hosts all cheered and extended their congratulations before Blige continued.
“I am in love. I believe I deserve a good relationship. With myself. With a partner. When you believe it, it comes to you,” she stated.

Blige also stopped by Today With Hoda & Jenna, where she reflected on moving on following her tumultuous divorce from Kendu Isaacs. The couple were together for over a decade before calling it quits in 2016. Their divorce was finalized in 2018.
“I am not going to let a bad relationship or a bad marriage stop me from having a good life and having romance and getting the hugs that I want and desire,” she declared.
“You know, I’m not going to say, ‘I’m so hard,’” Blige continued. “No, I want a man, I want love, I want it all. And I am not going to let my past stop me from that. It’s because I love myself like that, I’m able to draw things to me, and I’m able to receive love that I know I deserve.”
