Keyshia Cole Says Spirituality Drew Her To Her Husband Daniel Gibson

Keyshia Cole and her hubby Daniel Gibson are in this month’s Ebony as one of their hottest couples, almost four years after Daniel revealed in a television interview that Keyshia was his celebrity crush. The two just happened to share the same stylist, who made the introduction, and the rest is history.

What most people don’t know is that they both had ‘trust issues’ and had almost given up on love before they met each other. In the issue, Keyshia reveals that it wasn’t Boobie’s baller bucks, flashy bling and nba profile that drew her attention, it was his spirituality and faith in God that helped him snag his dream girl.

“I was kind of through with relationships. I didn’t feel like guys were mature enough. What made me gravitate toward Gib was his faith in God, more than anything. He seemed like a loving person. He talked a lot about his grandmother who had passed away, and the things she instilled in him. It’s important to be in the same place. I needed someone I could trust. He felt the same way.

Daniel adds:

We were kind of losing faith in love. We wanted to be sure about each other. So we talked about it and had deep conversations about our goals, what we wanted out of life, and from a family standpoint, that’s what made our bond strong.

The crazy thing about me and Key is that we talked on the phone for three or four months before ever meeting in person. We did the high school thing—we talked on the phone until the morning. Once we met, things happened fast. I felt like she was perfect for me. I proposed to her on New Year’s Eve, right when the ball dropped. I got down on one knee at the same time.

So how does a couple with relationship issues, actually make it work?

From a male standpoint, I just think you’ve got to actually commit. She has to be the right one, if not, you won’t feel enough inside of you to give her everything you’ve got. If she’s the one and you hear it and feel it [From God], commit your mind, body and soul to make it work so that you can be the man God wants you to be. That’s the only way you’ll make it work. People go through things.
