"And there still is nothing but love there. This is not some person I picked up off the street. This is somebody I grew up with.

I've never lived my life as a famous person without him."According to Minaj, the only reason the two are not married with children now is the music industry.

  • Is 'RHOA' Phaedra Parks Going to Bring Her Sons to Visit Ex Apollo Nida in Prison for Christmas?

    Could it be that the holiday season is causing "The Real Housewives of Atlanta's" Phaedra Parks to soften her edges just a bit? Fans of the Bravo series have watched in recent weeks as Parks's marriage to Apollo Nida unraveled shortly before he turned himself in to begin serving an eight-year prison sentence last fall. With Nida safely tucked away behind bars, Parks has admitted that she has filed for divorce, and when it comes to her young sons visiting their father in jail, it was not exactly on her to-do list. At least, not until now.Now, according to a report by TMZ, Parks may actually be reconsidering her original stance and a visit to Nida in prison might be exactly the gift that his kids give him. In the past, Parks has said that because she is raising two boys who will turn into men, she does not want to normalize the idea of prison for them. She had feared them thinking it was OK to end up behind bars briefly, and that is definitely not the notion she wants them to ever entertain.Fans have been divided on Parks's treatment of Nida. He got caught up in an identity-theft scam and check fraud, and while he has owned up to his mistakes, he has also hinted that he was trying to take care of his family on a grand scale because of Parks setting that bar so high. Once he turned himself in, Parks distanced herself from him, and some fans seem to think that in doing so she has been a disloyal wife.

  • Watch Nicki Minaj Twerking on a Couch Following 'The Pinkprint' Release [WATCH]

  • Jennifer Aniston Wants to Direct, Produce and Be a 'Superhero'

    Jennifer Aniston has been promoting the heck out of her indie film "Cake," and it seems that with every stop she makes the buzz gets a little bit stronger. Earlier this week, Aniston sat for a Lincoln Center screening of the flick and then attended a Q&A session afterword with costar Anna Kendrick. The ladies took a bunch of questions and Kendrick admitted that the fact that Aniston was producing and acting in "Cake" played a major part in her deciding to do the film. It likely will not be the last time Aniston has more say in her films, either.According to "The Hollywood Reporter," Aniston has only just begun to get her feet wet in the role of producing and it is a process that excites her, possibly more than acting."That's a bug that gets you once you do it. We're just waiting for the proper window of time and the proper piece of material. There has been a beautiful project that was about to happen that ended up falling apart for all sorts of reasons. ... Maybe it's being a control freak, I don't know, but wanting to be a part of a seed and seeing it turn into something wonderful is exciting. It's fun to explore other areas of our industry other than being an actor-for-hire. It's quite fulfilling," explained Aniston.

  • Jack White Singles Discovered Inside Furniture After Being Hidden for 10 Years

    If you think Jack White's penchant for quirky, vinyl releases started with his solo career in the last few years, then you are way off. In the early 2000s, White and his friend Brian Muldoon played together in a duo known as The Upholsterers — named for their actual profession at the time — but instead of releasing their second single in a traditional manner, they decided to press just 100 copies and sew them into 100 pieces of furniture that Muldoon was reupholstering in 2004 without telling the owners of the furniture. Though it would be fair to assume that this story was just Jack White doing some self-mythologizing, Third Man Records claims that two of the 100 singles have recently been discovered.In celebration of the single's discovery, White has shared the cover artwork, which was created by Detroit artist Gordon Newton.
