They Made It Last: Celebrity Couples We Almost Forgot Have Been Together For Years

Melika and Carl Anthony Payne II
We first fell in love with him as Theo Huxtable’s best friend Cockroach on the hit sitcom “The Cosby Show.” And we still loved him as the somewhat dimwitted big-girl loving Cole Brown on “Martin.” While Carl Anthony Payne was fast becoming one of television’s funniest supporting actors, he was also working hard on his marriage. The actor tied the knot with Melika in 1992. Payne took in and helped raise Landon Brown, Melika’s son from a previous relationship with R&B singer Bobby Brown. Payne recently portrayed L.A. Reid in VH1’s TLC Story.
