Boris Kodjoe is on the cover of the new Rolling Out magazine and he is looking fine with a capital F. This man has Charisma, Swagger and he is just so sexy.
Boris On Love and Nicole Ari Parker: “When I first met Nicole, I knew that she was going to be in my life forever — I just didn’t know in what capacity,” he shares. “But as we began to get to know each other, it just worked. And before people ask, no, we didn’t date while we were on the set of Soul Food. We started dating two years after that. But, seriously, she’s a very special woman that I love very much. Of course, we had to work out a few kinks along the way, but there’s no place that I’d rather be than with her.”
Boris on being a father: From this kismet beginning, the pair would go on to welcome two beautiful children into the world, and Kodjoe would come to realize the true nature of his purpose in life. “I have come to realize that fatherhood is by far the single most important aspect of my life,” he reveals. “Nobody tells you how scared you’ll become once you’re a father. Everybody talks about unconditional love, but nobody talks about the unconditional fear that you feel 24 hours a day when you have a child.”
Boris on Daddy's girls: Kodjoe’s dedication to providing his children with a life filled with love was put to the test when his beautiful daughter was born. “Sophie was born with spina bifida, which is a neural tube defect. It’s something where the spinal cord develops and doesn’t close all the way. So, a lot of kids who suffer from spina bifida have brain damage, motor function issues, they can’t move their legs, and they don’t have any sensations,” he explains. “I thank God that my daughter was spared those more severe effects. She can’t control her bladder. We have to monitor the pressure in her bladder by catheterizing, which can be very and extremely difficult for her. It’s just not a nice thing for a kid having to grow up being catheterized every three hours.” As Kodjoe and his lovely wife learned to manage Sophie’s illness, they decided to start raising funds to support research for spina bifida. Right now, their focus is on correcting little Sophie’s bladder dysfunction.
