Because we are friends and you can’t stress that enough in a relationship. We have our arguments and disagreements, but that’s life."

Tamar on his recent stint in the hospital: “It was the first thing we ever had to deal with outside of the normal relationship thing. It went from dinner, to a doctor, to a hospital, to he’s in a coma. I had to sign a lot of papers. I’m happy that we were friends because when you’re going through ‘what would he do?’ you remember those conversations. At first Doogie Howser was his doctor, and I was like no. I want someone with gray hair."

“We have a new outlook on life because of what happened. Everything before now has been erased.”

I agree some people need to let it go and let the couple enjoy this experience how would you feel if people talk about your pregnancy and birth of your child like that smdh...

CHRIS BOSH STILL DENIED SEEING HIS BABY GIRL

Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh is still fighting his baby mama Allison Mathis over his privileges to visit his 3 year old daughter Trinity. Bosh claims Mathis is back to her old tricks again. TMZ reports:

"Bosh alleges Mathis has repeatedly either ignored his requests to see 3-year-old Trinity or only allowed him to see her for fewer days than their custody arrangement dictates.

Bosh filed docs a few months ago to have Mathis held in contempt and a court date had been set for July 12. But Bosh recently requested to have that date moved up because he says it conflicts with training camp for the U.S. Olympics team. A judge has yet to rule."

I hope Bosh and Mathis can put their differences to the side just for their daugther Trinity this isn't a good look!
