These two icons of black entertainment have been dating for some time now. Malcolm-Jamal Warner is best known for his role on "The Cosby Show" as Theo Huxtable. Regina King is best known for her role on "227" as Brenda Jenkins. Warner dated actress Michelle Thomas, who died of cancer.

Following the death of Thomas, in 1998, Warner decided to stay away from relationships. Regina King, on the other hand, has been married and has a son. She was married for ten years to Ian Alexander. They divorced in 2006 after she revealed he had abused and cheated on her.

In 2009, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Regina King found each other. Their relationship has blossomed over the past year and a half. Despite both being public figures, they have managed to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. One thing Warner learned from Bill Cosby was to keep the media away from his personal life.

That bit of advice, along with so much more, has kept Malcolm-Jamal Warner grounded for the most part, as his career has taken what most consider to be an odd turn. Regina King, however, stars in TNT's hit series, "Southland," and in the Adult Swim hit, "The Boondocks." Earlier today, via Twitter, the couple announced they were going to be married in the near future.

"Southland" has defied the odds and is currently back for a third season, second with TBT. After a few episodes on NBC, the struggling network cancelled the show. Initially, Regina King was happy, mainly to be back with NBC. But, after they cancelled her show, she lost the respect she had for the network.

Regina King, along with fans of "Southland," protested to keep the show on the air. TNT picked up the syndication rights of the program and began airing the show immediately. They also finished airing the episodes to complete the season. NBC cancelled the show midseason without showing all of the episodes.

Quickly, "Southland" became the highest-rated show on TNT and they contacted the production company. From there, a second season of the show was greenlighted. Regina King is very happy to be dealing with a network interested in the show. Since things are so secure, she has pitched the idea of having the show go deeper into her character's personal life.

Filming for the third season began last month and the third season will begin broadcasting later this week.
