(1/9/03, 1 p.m. ET) -- Erykah Badu and Common aren't shy about sharing the details of their love affair with the press. The artists steam up the cover of the February issue of Essence, and the magazine features an interview with the couple. Topics discussed include how they met, whether their children get along, their fears, how they feel about marriage, and the "important work" the couple is planning.
Common shared how and when he met Badu, explaining, "Back in 1996, when I heard Erykah's first single, 'On And On,' I knew I wanted to work with her. So a friend of mine gave me her number. I called, and our conversation that day, how I can say it? It was long and warm. I felt as though our spirits had known each other before."
Badu addressed the question of whether or not a marriage is in the works by saying, "I don't know what the future has for us, really. Our relationship is much bigger than being boyfriend and girlfriend, wife and husband. I believe that we have some very important work to do together as people."
