Lance Gross spoke about his girlfriend Eva Marcielle and his acting career to Clutch magazine. (Did you know that Lance appeared in videos for Mariah Carey and Rihanna before he got his big break in Tyler Perry's "House of Payne" and "Meet The Browns"?!)

Clutch: You and Eva Marcille are a well-known item, how long has it been now?
Lance: We’ve been together a little over a year and a half. We’re pretty serious; we live together. She’s great.

She’s supporting me in my dreams and I support her in hers. We really mesh. We’re like in our own little bubble, in La La Land. Yeah, that’s my baby.

Clutch: That’s so sweet. You guys make a beautiful couple. So tell us, from your experience, what are the best and worst aspects of being a celeb?
Lance: It’s a dream come true for me. Just to have a fan base, it’s amazing to me. I love being a celebrity. Sometimes I have to pinch myself. The worst thing is that you give up some of your privacy being a celebrity. I mean you can be at a restaurant, and people know who you are. But in the end I still appreciate it so I guess it’s not really a bad thing for me because I’m thankful for everything. [Read more over at CLUTCH]
