If your love life has more plot twists than your group chat, it’s probably time to rethink your relationship goals.
First step: check out Amazon Prime’s rom-com, *Relationship Goals*, starring Method Man and Kelly Rowland. This one brings the laughs and heart—with a little side-eye. Deco caught up with the stars to talk about mindful dating. Yes, stay calm, because dating is hard out there.
*Relationship Goals* is based on the book of the same name. Kelly Rowland, of Destiny’s Child fame, plays an upcoming boss who has to fight for her job against her ex-lover, played by Method Man. In the movie, she initially thinks that getting to the top is all that matters.
Just like her character, Kelly had a “dream man” wish list. She shared,
“I had a list in my 20s. When I was learning about, you know, love. Some stuff that I had on my list, Leah had on her list—it’s just very surface stuff. It’s all stuff that you think you need.”
Her co-star besties are also manifesting their person. Robin Thede said,
“Dating is hard. I think for me, I do have a list, but it’s pretty general. It’s like kindness, nice teeth.”
Annie Gonzalez added,
“The amount of square feet he has in his apartment.”
Robin corrected,
“Yeah, apartment?”
Annie said,
“My bad, home.”
Robin concluded,
“House.”
For the hunky Method Man, his character’s journey involves getting out of the player game as part of finding himself. Cliff “Method Man” Smith explained,
“He’s at a point now where he’s thinking about legacy. You think about things like what’s your contribution to society and how do you make your mark. He’s done that as far as business goes but personal life, and when he runs back into Leah, it’s sort of like something drew him here. I found her again.”
Both Kelly and Method have been in double-digit marriages. What’s the secret to achieving #RelationshipGoals? Kelly Rowland believes,
“I think communication is everything. It really, really is. I think you got to talk—talk when it’s ugly, talk when it’s great, talk through it all.”
Cliff “Method Man” Smith added,
“You want to genuinely wake up in the morning, look over and like the person that’s laying next to you in the bed. Period.”
Check out the crew of *Relationship Goals* on Amazon Prime, coming February 4. Don’t miss the laughs, love, and all the realness this rom-com has to offer!
