JB And Tomerio Are The Epitome Of Black Love

Jordan Benston is a wonder woman. She is the force behind Oracle Media, a full service production company that produces high-level content. From digital covers to Hulu documentaries, Jordan, affectionally known as JB, seems to do it all. As a wife, mom of two, and master multitasker, she relies on her husband Tomerio to help juggle the many hats she wears. That includes, putting in that work for the company, being a kick-ass dad, and holding their household down as the anchor of the Benston family.

With Valentine’s Day in February, it is a month-long celebration of love. JB and Tomerio’s love story is the stuff Black love movies are made of. The couple wed in a private ceremony on December 4, 2021. The power couple recently celebrated their 3-year wedding anniversary. 

“It was super important to be able to have a strong partner who was going be able to support all of the endeavors that I wanted to do,” she explained. “Before I started my business, Tomerio had a full-time job. Once we started the business, it required a lot of travel and more from me. So, he stepped up so their business could thrive.

According to JB, she and Tomerio don’t have a “traditional” household when it comes to their family dynamic. “We split things up in a way that works best for us in our home.”

JB and Tomerio make a conscious effort to be an excellent example of Black love to their children. “We like to be able to make sure that we are a good example of safe and healthy love to our children. Their displays of affection around the house and “spirited debates” teach their children the importance of showing affection and communication even if it garners a “ew” from their daughter Abby.

“My husband makes me feel loved by supporting me, by always considering me. He thinks for me in ways that I don’t think for or he considers me in ways that I sometimes don’t consider myself,” JB gushed. “He’ll remind me like, ‘You have a shoot coming up. What are you wearing? Did you pick out your clothes? Your shoot is coming up. Did you make a hair appointment? Did you make a nail appointment?’”

Checking-in keeps them in-tune. JB also credits their friendship as a secret to maintaining their love. “I genuinely enjoy being around my husband. I enjoy our quality time together. I like just talking to him about my day, about work, about the kids.”

Cuddling together to watch their favorite shows is the perfect recipe for this busy couple. “We celebrate romance on the regular. Those intimate moments can literally look like sitting down together and watching Abbott Elementary, just the two of us, no kids or catching up on our favorite like reality show.”

JB shows her love for Tomerio through physical gestures like hugs, kisses and touchy moments around the house. “I would live in his skin,” she said jokingly. “I’m always on him. When we’re in the house, I’m hugging him. When we’re in the bed together and we’re asleep, I’m body to body, skin to skin.”

And when all else fails, a simple I love you goes a long way. “I don’t know when it started, but we always kiss three times and say, I love you. We say, I love you to each other before we leave to go to the store. Before we leave from upstairs to go downstairs, we kiss and say, ‘I love you.’ It might be excessive, but for us, we really love to do that, to be able to show each other love.”
