Thanks for the heads up Melaine23. What handsome little boys!
I'll definitely be purchasing this issue. I like this actress and am so happy she's been blessed with motherhood again.
A typical (and at times heated) discussion related to Garcell's twins and biracial children's looks in general I came across....

Have you noticed that American blacks are more likely to express anger when a "black" or black-identified person has Euro phenotype children?
Debra Dickerson said that blacks would walk up to her and demand that she teach her children that they are nothing more than "niggers."
If you check the internet, some blacks are expressing anger against Halle Berry for daring to have her baby with a "white" man instead of a "black" one. |

there always will be some, but that doesn't mean most.
Zsana I believe posted a similar thing with Nicole Ritchie and 99% of the comments by AA were positive and appreciative.
It all depends on the comment site as well, some are really bitchy sites and it doesn't matter who it is they are talking about. |

More Likely? Not sure about that. Certainly many are simply outraged at blacks who marry whites (and sometimes others) regardless of how the children come out.
What I have noticed is many black men, some of whom date non-black women, express outrage when black women date and marry white (or other) men.
I have a friend or two who generally don't date black women or don't restrict themselves to black women who'd go ballistic over Garcelle Beauvais' relationship.
Always found her attractive..Her husband lucked out...She's Haitian isn't she? |

Where in the internet does it say that? Do you have a link?
The mother of Halle Berry is a caucasian woman. So, doesn't that count for something? I would imagine Halle loves this man (who just happens to be white) that is the father of their baby.

it wasn't a serious question. And definately one not totally directed at the couple.
It's something I see in society really fine women with tore up men.
You'll never see the opposite. |

| Most likely many people on the streets would think she is the nanny of those 2 babies rather than the mother, once they see her taking her kids for a stroll in the park especially since she is a darkskin Black woman. Many people think only lightskin Blacks can produce Caucasian looking offsprings with a White partner, there are always exceptions to the rule. But exceptions aside I do think that somebody who looks like Vanessa Williams on average has a hell of alot better chance of producing a White looking offspring with a White man than does somebody who looks like Serena Williams. |

They're still babies right now, kids tend to look a lot different within a years time. |

Every situation is different. But there is a 50% chance the kids will look differently
I have an acquaintance who is AA who married a woman who is biracial and their second child came out dark skinned. But the coloring looked like someone reddish brown who got a dark tan, and the child had very curly hair. I love dark skinned people with curly hair.
But within a year or 2 the child complexion changed from dark to a light caramel color with the curly hair.
My friend adopted a biracial child who looked similar to Garcelles son with blue eyes. And the kid looked like a white child. He is about 8 years old now and still has the blue eyes but looks like a 'biracial' kid now. He doesn't look white at all. |

| Quote: | Why Beautiful Women Marry Less Attractive MenBy Jeanna Bryner, LiveScience Staff Writer
posted: 10 April 2008 ET
Women seeking a lifelong mate might do well to choose the guy a notch below them in the looks category. New research reveals couples in which the wife is better looking than her husband are more positive and supportive than other match-ups.
The reason, researchers suspect, is that men place great value on beauty, whereas women are more interested in having a supportive husband.
Researchers admit that looks are subjective, but studies show there are some universal standards, including large eyes, "baby face" features, symmetric faces, so-called average faces, and specific waist-hip ratios in men versus women.
Past research has shown that individuals with comparable stunning looks are attracted to each other and once they hook up they report greater relationship satisfaction. These studies, however, are mainly based on new couples, showing that absolute beauty is important in the earliest stages of couple-hood, said lead researcher James McNulty of the University of Tennessee. But the role of physical attractiveness in well-established partnerships, such as marriage, is somewhat of a mystery.
The new study, published in the February issue of the Journal of Family Psychology, reveals looks continue to matter beyond that initial attraction, though in a different way.
Supportive spouses
McNulty's team assessed 82 couples who had married within the previous six months and had been together for nearly three years prior to tying the knot. Participants were on average in their early to mid-20s.
Researchers videotaped as each spouse discussed with their partner a personal problem for 10 minutes. The tapes were analyzed for whether partners were supportive of spouses' issues, which included goals to eat healthier, to land a new job and to exercise more often.
"A negative husband would've said, 'This is your problem, you deal with it,'" McNulty said, "versus 'Hey, I'm here for you; what do you want me to do?; how can I help you?'"
A group of trained "coders" rated the facial attractiveness of each spouse on a scale from 1 to 10, with the perfect 10 representing the ultimate babe. About a third of the couples had a more attractive wife, a third a more attractive husband and the remaining partners showed matching looks.
Trophy wives
Overall, wives and husbands behaved more positively when the woman was better looking.
The finding "seems very reasonable," said Dan Ariely, a professor of behavioral economics at MIT's Program in Media Arts and Sciences and Sloan School of Management. "Men are very sensitive to women's attractiveness. Women seem to be sensitive to men's height and salary," said Ariely, who was not involved in the recent study.
In couples with more attractive husbands, both partners were less supportive of one another. McNulty suggests wives mirror, in some ways, the level of support they get from husbands.
"The husband who's less physically attractive than his wife is getting something more than maybe he can expect to get," McNulty told LiveScience. "He's getting something better than he's providing at that level. So he's going to work hard to maintain that relationship."
Men who are more attractive than their partners would theoretically have access to partners who are more attractive than their current spouses, McNulty said. The "grass could be greener" mentality could make these men less satisfied and less committed to maintain the marriage.
Physical attractiveness of husbands is not as important to women, the researchers suggest. Rather, wives are looking for supportive husbands, they say.
So it seems the mismatch in looks is actually a perfect match. "Equitable is unlikely to mean the same on every dimension," Ariely said during a telephone interview. "It just means that overall two people make sense together."
