Holly Robinson Peete recently opened up about her 30-year marriage with husband Rodney Peete, suggesting that they might not have lasted as long if they had met using modern dating platforms like Kings Court or social media.

The couple, who met before the era of social media, believe that the current landscape of online dating and social platforms would have posed significant challenges to their relationship. Holly expressed her doubts during an interview at the 7th Daytime Beauty Awards in Los Angeles on Sept. 21, stating, “In the social media age of swiping and all that, I think that we would’ve struggled.”

Despite their longevity as a couple, Holly, 61, admitted that social media could have been a major roadblock in their relationship if they had met through such means. The ability to track someone’s location easily through social media was a particular concern for Holly, who confessed her own nosiness and the potential issues it could cause.
Holly and Rodney share four children and have successfully navigated the challenges of a long-lasting marriage in the public eye. As co-hosts of Kings Court and Queens Court, the couple celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary on June 10. Holly reflected on the importance of listening in maintaining a healthy relationship over the years.
The couple’s journey has been documented on reality shows like For Peete’s Sake and Meet the Peetes. With their children now adults pursuing various paths, Holly also spoke about embracing their empty-nester status. She shared insights into their new routines and responsibilities now that their kids are no longer living at home.
As they adjust to a quieter household, Holly and Rodney are relishing the newfound freedom while still being a source of support for their adult children. The transition to empty-nest life has brought about changes in their daily routines and responsibilities, highlighting the shift in dynamics within their family unit.
Despite the potential challenges posed by social media and changing family dynamics, Holly and Rodney Peete continue to navigate their relationship with love, respect, and gratitude for the journey they have shared. Their story serves as a testament to the enduring power of love and commitment in a world where technology and societal norms continue to evolve.
