Morris Chesnut has been melting hearts for as long as we can remember
Eighties babies remember Morris from Boyz N The Hood. The film introduced us to him with his signature low-top fade and “I’m from around the way” charm. He was everybody’s imaginary boyfriend and ultimate crush.
Then came The Best Man, The Brothers, Two Can Play That Game, Like Mike, and a guest spot on Living Single that made us all collectively pay attention. Remember that episode when Maxine, Synclaire, Khadijah, and Regine fought over his character? That was us if we were in their shoes—every time he hit the screen.
We can’t mention Morris without his better half, Pam Byse
Now, we can’t talk about Morris’s fine-ness without a nod to the real MVP, his wife of 30 years, Pam Byse. Forget Ciara’s prayer—what was Pam’s? Their love is a masterclass in Black excellence.
Though they keep it private, the couple has no problem slaying a red carpet together. Further, Morris speaks highly of his significant other and of their bond.

“One of the main things is we have ultimate respect for each other. We never say anything we can’t take back, and we’ve been very blessed to grow together.”
