Is Paula Patton and Robin Thicke Hollywood’s ‘It’ couple of the moment?
After 20 years together, the two have finally snagged their first magazine cover as a couple for Prestige Magazine. For the spread, Paula looks nightcap ready in a black sexy gown and a gold heart, while Robin dons a blue blazer. Paula also says that Robin is her best friend in the interview, while Robin admits that he may not even be alive if it wasn’t for his wife:
I don’t know if I would still be alive in some ways if it wasn’t for Paula. She’s been my rock, my muse, my inspiration and I love her.
How sweet! The cover comes just a week after Robin Thicke’s alleged groping scandal. After the MTV VMA’s, a New York socialite Instagrammed a photo of Robin allegedly touching her butt at an afterparty, and now she’s on a press tour and making headlines. Earlier this week, the socialite told a tabloid that he not only touched her butt, but he started grabbing her and making out with her at the party and he wanted to get her in bed.
Obviously, Paula isn’t worried about a thing. She was the baddest chick in the room last night at Robin Thicke’s album release party in New York and she made sure she let it be known that the fire in that relationship is hotter than ever.
Paula looked hot in a sexy, cutout Stella McCartney dressed as she kissed on her man and put on a good show. The couple are fresh off of a relaxing vacation in Miami with their son Julian.
