Serena Williams and Common Break up

Just last week, Common was professing his love for Serena Williams and word is now that their love is no longer:

After over two years of dating, tennis star Serena Williams, 28, and rapper Common, 38, have split. “They just grew apart,” said a friend of the musician’s. The duo made a last public appearance in April at the New York premiere of Date Night, but Common was acting single on the Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage cruise while promoting the film Just Wright in mid-May. “He was a big hit with the ladies,” says a witness.

SMH. Those Tom Joyner cruises will get a motherf*cka caught up!!

    *shrug*
    I’m sure they both had a good run of it. At least the break up wasn’t all dramatic and drawn out. Hope they remain friends.

    I knew this fool was just using Serena until he blew up and made his own money. Well I personally think Serena could have did better because Common is ugly to me but her last guy was fine. Remember that darkskin actor was his name Jackie Long?

  • williedynamite

    LOL @ that picture!!!

  • fool of a tooke!

    He is SOOOOO fine! Serena is/was lucky as h3ll… being that she looka lika man! How’d she bag him??

  • ATX

    How sad

  • Ms. Richardson

    Good thing they did split, cause Serena probably would have woopped his a$$.

  • Deesac

    Of course they will blame the man, true fact to be said most black women will never find or stay with there sole mate because there on a self made ego trip to concour the world.

  • currvalicious

    I,m sorry to hear this, they made such a nice couple. He was just recently talking about her on one of those talk shows.

  • Curious1

    Day’em Common…I LOVED him when he dated Erykah Badu but UGH.. she cheated on him with DOC …UGH…

    *** gulp*** I have to admit…I rarely saw them out in the paparazzi nor black red carpet together..even some these Black (C)rappers will bring their w h o r e s and groupies , Studio “singer” Chicks flucking for tracks with some (C)Rapper…they flaunt their “typical” on the carpet…

    But …not these two…never see him in the stands at her matches…Like a Fake, made-up unnecessary PR stunt..JMO

    I never “brought’ what they were selling…

    Common just needs the right girl to bring out his “Swag”….Someone who can be his match…

  • I don’t date Black Americans

    Serena looks uninterested in Common in this pic.

    I don’t blame her she needs to make it a rule that she will not date Black Americans under any circumstances.

  • :)

    I hope they work things out. They seemed like an honest well to do couple.

  • Willie Lump Lump

    I bet it’s more than enough to go round on them tom joyner cruises…especially for old heads.

  • ad nasuem

    Serena looks like a damn grizzly bear. All the dudes that think she is thick are into bestiality.

  • Fingers crossed behind my baaack (Get Munny)

    it’s not like we didn’t see this ish coming, if it’s true. something must really be wrong with common’s old azz because he just cayn’t git rite!!!

  • Kenny

    Maybe the age difference affected their relationship…

  • NY

    Are you guys forgetting Serena is into white men. Maybe she was missing her some white meat.

  • run tell dat

    how could i let you get away—– when i knew i need somebody soon…….

  • Jess

    Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn………enough said

  • just 1 opinion

    I think maybe all the traveling from both of them could have done it. Sometimes long distant romances just don’t work out. Hopefully, they will remain good friends.

  • Reality

    Broke people hating on Serena. At the least she is the most famous tennis player in the world todate. She shall shine for years to come even after retirement. Common well he was good but an average MC at best. Serena let these heffers hate God blessed you :)

  • Mock Rock Star

    Alicia here’s your chance to get with Common like U should had long time ago. U can say it’s his baby ;-)

  • http://twitter.com/ThugPundit clarkekent3000

    Good for him…maybe it was the Brazilian chick that was the nail in the coffin!

  • D.

    Life goes on.

  • Tay

    Yeah, Let’s cheer for the demise of this wonderful black couple. Now he can go out and get a Kendra or Kim K to parade around with, then maybe you all will feel better.

  • Reality

    @ Tay you trully are wise enjoy you comments. Won’t be surprised if he lands lindsay lol :)

  • Tay!

    Common! WTF! you know you wrong! Serena is a Boss Lady! Please treat her as such!& Please don’t let that new flick go to your head!& make you forget who’s the ONE! REPORT! hahahahaha!TAY :-)

  • kizznmakeup

    I’m kinda sad about this, but still I think common needs to give me a call… I’ve always wanted him.

  • d rock

    WTF? He was just wendy williams LAST WEEK professing his love for her and that she would def be wifey if he decides to get married. The WW show is taped live.

  • Im tired of this shytt

    @Deesac

    Actually, black women (if you have visited this site frequently enough and have lived in the real world) have been taught by their absentee fathers, their boyfriends, and the triflings fathers of their children, that if you want something you have to earn it with very hard work, unlike the becky’s that can do no wrong and deserve the best that the black community has to offer. So when we exceed and excel, we do it with the intentions of teaching the world that degrades us: f/u/c/k you because we can do it better by ourselves anyway…and if they think we are not beautiful, intelligent, strong, and essentially good enough to receive the best by our very existence as children of God, we are going to provide the best for ourselves, single motherhood or no..you try to break a woman that made her own way–its damn near impossible, and very hard for her to compromise, because society’s criticism of the black woman is as uncompromising as it gets.

    I,was in the AREAAAAAAA……….SO DROP,IN to,SEND a HELLO,sHOUT-oUt- toO,one off ThEEEE Tennise.GAME.-Legendsssssssssss..MS,TENNISE”LEGENDarieeeeeeeeSuPeR,sTaRssssssssss-Ms- SERENA WILLIAM….Too,Ms,SERENA WILLIAMS>>…..From One of YoUr-FaNssss-To-You….HELLoooooooooooo

  • Miko

    Not a cute couple anyway! She’s more masculine than Common. She would make a cute couple with “DEBO” from the Friday franchise. Although I know Common is 100% MAN, he’s more feminine than her… Debo is her only hope! LOL! LOL! Yuck!

  • vaughn

    for everybody on here, you’re stupid. Common has made his own money, fame and he is famous. he genuinely cared for Serena, but she didn’t see it. hes a good guy,give props when pros is due.

  • AnonymousGal

    Negative negros as usual. I’m sorry to hear about the break up. It’s funny how people can’t think to celebrate the fact that V & S have taken the world of tennis by storm, but instead talk about her looks and how “masculine” she is. I bet half these broke negros don’t have a pot to pizz in or a window to throw it out of. That’s how broke negroes do it. Always criticizing. Black people are the most self-loathing people on the planet!

  • caribbeanjah

    @ Miko U so cold.. ha ha

  • michelle

    Serena looks like a MAN………

  • megafly

    I would really like to see Serena settle down and marry somebody. Seems like so many are hitting it, and quitting it.

    ———————————————–

    JUST SHOOT ME NOW CAUSE I’M SO EFFIN DEAD!!!!

  • Tee

    And btw, all of you think it was Common’s decision can forget it!!!! This is nothing Serena’s ish. I mean, if you look at their pictures, he more in tuned with her, then she is with him. He professed his love to her and attend her tennis matches. You don’t ever hear a story or see pictures about Serena going to one of his concerts. So don’t be so quick to call Common the stupid one. I’m not a fan of either, this is JMO.

    You must not know about Common. :/

  • Pebblebeach

    sh#t happens

  • that damn sh#$ disturber

    i’m not gaga over celebrities but common does it for me!!! sorry to see you go serena but…

  • daahlingnikki

    Sad to see this union end…I liked them together…I hope they can work it out…

  • http://bossip.com too cute

    love them together,hate it did’nt work out,like that pic of them together

  • Droos

    It was always gonna come to an end. Common likes to flaunt his blackenss and dated this beast to kiss up to black women’s ego.

  • SHEENA

    just look at that picture! He all smiley and he seem happy to be with her and she like ” whatever dude i am on facebook!” Serena didnt know what she had thats what it seems like to me Common was too good for her.

  • sara

    look hes ways to old for her …and am sure she paid for a lot of ish no pun intended. I think serena will find her match if she dates an African elite.

  • http://twitter.com/thugpundit Clarkekent3000

    I agree look at the picture….he is attempting to be happy and positive whereas it seems she is all puffed up with an attitude. we men have all seen that before.

  • Jay the Real One

    I don’t believe it.

  • Y’all Be Trippin’

    I am very sad to see them breakup – if I had to guess, it probably was the age difference…10 years is a lot of living/experience that one person has had that the other one didn’t.

    And y’all need to quit hating on people – Serena is talented and she can be quite lovely looking off the court (nobody is cute sweating trying to win a tennis match). And Common is very handsome and seems like a stand-up guy.

    Black on Black Love should always be celebrated when it works and grieved when it fails.

    No swirlin…

  • aqueenwaits

    To be quite honest with you, he was too old for her in age. I’m sure he was quite immature, like most men are at times. He prah-lee saw that big ole booty and just had to have it. I still like him, but I prefer men who are more like royalty instead of the common type (lol) WHATEVER!!!!! I thought it was funny.

  • Joe Clyde

    I think Serena had low self esteem in dealing with Common.

    Seriously, if Serena wasn’t a rich tennis star. He would have never looked at her.

    That had to be on her mind.

  • WTF

    I THOUGHT HE WAS USING HER FOR ACCESS TO MORE WHITE FOLKS MONEY……………..

    IF YOU WANT TO BREAK OUT THAT WAS A SMART MOVE ON HIS PART. ALL WHITE FOLSK KNOW HER!!

    HIS LOST- SHE CAN YAWN OUT HIS MONEY. WHEN HE TURN 60 SHE’LL BE SPENDING MONEY SHE MADE TODAY..LOL

    FUNNY HOW THESE RAPPERS GO FOR SLUMM*TTS AND SCRUBS WHEN THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE CREAM OF THE CROP.

    BLACK SUCCESFUL INTELLIGENT WOMAN. HE CAN GO GLOBAL WITH HER.

    OTHER CHICKENHEAD WILL CLEAN HIM OUT JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER UNCLE TOM C**NS

    BLACK FOLKS NEED TO START THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX MASTA CREATED FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    JACKIE LONG IS WAY FINER THAN COMMON OLD SELF!!!!!WEPH!!!!!!!!!WOOSAH!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sheez-Da-Truth

  • Agree

    Co sign to comments from I am tired of this S….
    and I too hope that Common recognizes that Serena is to be loved and respected for all that she has accomplished and for herself! So don’t try to use her and fool her! Common all eyes were on her so you benefited from her shine too! You have you fans and place but it was not on the scale of Serena! With Serena you were exposed to so much more and internationally like never before. Hope it was all honorable for them both. Its their business. just saying….
