K'MONIE and Kevin are proud of their hairstyles, but unfortunately, the couple often receive backlash over their locks. K'Monie explained to Love Don't Judge: "People judge us because of the way that we look." Agreeing, Kevin added: "Trolls say we're not compatible because of our hair. They judge her because of how thick it is and me because I'm losing some of it." The pair met at K'Monie's brother's birthday party and soon hit it off, eventually falling in love. Since making TikToks, the couple have received a lot of unwanted attention. "Those keyboard warriors are brave. They won't say it in Walmart, but as soon as they got home, they'll be in the comments like, 'I just saw you in Walmart, you look so ugly.'" In today's episode of Love Don't Judge, the pair will be having a chat with K'Monie's sister, Asa, to see what she thinks about their relationship. Asa admitted: "I wasn't aware that my sister was into different cultures."

00:00I'm Kimoni and this is my man Kevin and people judge us because of the way we look.
00:06My queen.
00:08Every single day we get stared at.
00:10Girls say we're not compatible because of our hair.
00:12They judge her because of how thick her hair is and then me because I'm losing some of my hair.
00:16They've compared him to Hitler.
00:18They said y'all look like a genetic experiment gone wrong.
00:22With my family, I feel like, hmm.
00:25Well I wasn't aware that my sister was into different cultures.
00:31Hi, my name is Kimoni.
00:33And your boy Kev.
00:35And today I'm going to show Kev how to style my hair.
00:39Wish me luck.
00:40Yeah.
00:41People judge us for our hair, but we don't care.
00:46You grab the loop.
00:48Do you want to do it?
00:49Yeah.
00:50I try to help her with hers, but I feel like I'd be slowing her down.
00:53And I help record her and make content for her.
00:55We both have dealt with a lot of judgment from other people.
00:59So I mean, we know how the other person feels.
01:01What you're doing is pretty much braiding around the lock extension.
01:05And then, do you know what you're doing?
01:08Kinda.
01:09I know I gotta go around it this way, right?
01:11Hold on, let me start it off.
01:13I just love her locks. They're so beautiful.
01:15People can't grasp the concept of people fall in love with who they fall in love with.
01:18You don't have to be six foot tall and the best looking.
01:21You just gotta find the person for you.
01:23We met at her brother's birthday party, actually.
01:25I was the cameraman coming to record his birthday party.
01:28We texted for a little while. We were friends for like two years.
01:32So it took me a while to kinda grow on him.
01:34Or for him to grow on me, if that makes sense.
01:36And then, the rest is history.
01:39No.
01:40No?
01:41Just make sure you're...
01:42Twisting the locks as I'm doing it?
01:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:45People call me a lion mane because I have so much hair.
01:50My hair's important to me because when I was younger, I didn't have a role model to teach me.
01:56As you know, twist the locks.
01:59Oh, okay, okay, okay.
02:01We weren't necessarily designed to look at ourselves all day.
02:05So take that one around, take that one around.
02:08Not necessarily, but you can do that.
02:10Now that we have all these devices, we kinda judge ourselves a lot more.
02:14So like bring them around like this?
02:17Like that?
02:19I'm so confused.
02:22Just goofing off, making a video.
02:25Really? All up in my face with it?
02:28Somebody said he got too little hair and she has too much.
02:32He said, y'all are not a typical relationship.
02:35She's a beautiful woman and you're an average looking white guy.
02:38It's 2025 and interracial relationships are becoming more and more normalized every day.
02:43Except for on social media. Those keyboard warriors are brave.
02:47They won't say it in Walmart. If we walk past them, they'll just be like, oh, I saw you on social media.
02:52And then as soon as they get home, they're going to be in the comments like, I just saw you in Walmart.
02:56You look so ugly.
02:58It's funny because we didn't really receive judgment when we started our relationship.
03:02Not really too much until our first like real viral video that hit like hundreds of thousands of views.
03:08Her hair is more fluffy than the tree is with a bunch of laughing faces.
03:12For weeks, we was getting blown up with notifications and a lot of selfishness, hate comments.
03:18And it's tough when you have to see all of that.
03:21Somebody put a Kip and LaFonda gif from Napoleon Dynamite.
03:24At this point, it doesn't really bother me, but at first it did kind of bother me.
03:28They said y'all look like a genetic experiment gone wrong, which is crazy.
03:33They've compared him to Hitler.
03:36I didn't even know that. That's crazy.
03:39Like that. Mm hmm.
03:41Bring it back around. Oh, I'm learning.
03:45I got some Scorpio pieces.
03:49I do kind of get extra with it.
03:52It's kind of like an earring, but for your hair or earrings, earrings.
03:58A lot of people tell me to cut my hair off.
04:00This took me about around six hours.
04:04Why are y'all so worried about my hair?
04:06That y'all feel like I should cut my hair off?
04:09No, you can't do that.
04:11Who cares if you like it? It's her hair.
04:14I don't necessarily believe in societal beauty standards.
04:18If you're happy with who you are and you're happy with who your partner is, that's all that matters.
04:22Because you're so light with it, you gotta.
04:24I ain't trying to scratch your face.
04:26Yeah, but you gotta, you gotta hold it.
04:28Is it pushing?
04:29Mm hmm. Kinda, yeah.
04:31How's it look?
04:32Yeah, that works.
04:33They feel like he's, I guess, a lot older than me because of his receding hairline.
04:39People go crazy over that hairline.
04:41Yeah.
04:42I don't know what it is.
04:43They judge her because of how thick her hair is and then me because I'm losing some of my hair a little bit.
04:47So now that dear old Kevin has helped me with my hair, I'm gonna help him with his.
04:52Get him all spiffied up for the day.
04:55Let's do it.
04:56I'm too OCD with mine, so I let her do it.
04:58Yeah.
04:59I'll sit there for two hours combing my hair.
05:02I do feel a little just because of the thinning spot that I have on top of my head, but.
05:07Mm hmm.
05:08I do think about it a little more than I used to just because of how much it gets brought up in the comments.
05:12He don't really like too many people touching his head.
05:15At all.
05:16But I'm the same way.
05:19You got my lipstuff on you.
05:21Oh, don't go.
05:23Looking like we in some movie.
05:25I have received a bunch of hate comments regarding, like, my body.
05:28I do feel self-conscious.
05:30I'm learning how to just manage it.
05:32I feel like it's made as strong as a couple because you never know when you're going to be in a spotlight.
05:37Then you're able to actually deal with the real world.
05:43I'm a quadruplet.
05:44Today my sister Asit is coming over to share her opinions about our relationship.
05:49I was a bit shocked.
05:51Well, I wasn't aware that my sister was into different cultures.
05:58Hey.
06:00What's up?
06:02Asit was happy for me.
06:06I do feel that she did have her thoughts along the way.
06:12So, Asit, how did you feel when Kevin and I started dating?
06:16Were you shocked at all?
06:17To be honest, I was shocked in the beginning.
06:19You're like an icon here.
06:22Although we are two, what attracted you two to each other?
06:26He's so caring, loving, supportive.
06:29He listens.
06:31I knew I loved her before we were even together.
06:33So how do you deal with the online judgment that we didn't really ignore them?
06:37Because a lot of the stuff is just, oh, girl, take that hair out.
06:40It looks trash.
06:41Or, oh, like, why are you with a white boy?
06:44If you're not a lactician, you can't really tell me anything about my hair.
06:47You feel me?
06:48They would basically imply that because they didn't like her hair and they felt like her hair didn't look good,
06:53that meant I didn't care about her because I let her walk out the house like that.
06:56I like the way her hair looks.
06:57I don't give a damn if they do or not.
06:59My family, they didn't necessarily normalize interracial dating and stuff like that.
07:04Like, they were surprised, but they loved her.
07:07So, with my family, I felt like, hmm.
07:11I was unsure if my immediate family approved because, you know, of stuff I was hearing.
07:17And, of course, at that point, it really didn't matter because we was already, you know, locked in.
07:22It just made me feel unincluded, unwelcome.
07:24At a certain point, you just have to let it go.
07:27Let go and let God.
07:28So, that's what I did.
07:30Well, I appreciate you coming over to see us, Asset.
07:32No problem.
07:33Thank you, love.
07:34Take you another brownie.
07:37Yeah, we appreciate you.
07:41Every single day, we get stared at.
07:43It don't matter where we go, but they don't really say too much.
07:46They just be looking like...
07:47At Walmart, it's the worst.
07:49Just about anybody you see is walking by like, who that?
07:53Are you ready to go to the park, baby?
07:55After you, my love.
08:00Kimoni has definitely changed my life in multiple ways.
08:03She's made me a lot more patient of a person.
08:05She's taught me how to love a lot more.
08:07He just continues to pour so much love into me that I've learned how to love myself even more.
08:14What I would say to people that judge our relationship, honestly, is just go find you somebody.
08:19Go find you some love.
08:20But honestly, you gotta learn to love yourself first before you can find love.
