Omarion Graces Cover of Hello Beautiful's Heartthrob Issue

Introducing The Cover Star of Hello Beautiful's Heartthrob Issue: Omarion

Omarion has grown and matured, much better than some others in our 30-plus age range who don’t have a sinewy stomach or a scorpion tattoo for their Zodiac sign inked on their back. Omari the father is someone millennials might not know. “It has changed me in the best way,” says Omarion about fatherhood. “When we, think about selflessness and not being selfish, it’s hard to quantify what that looks like. And when you have kids, you realize it’s not all about you anymore. I would say that that’s probably the biggest and the greatest lesson that a person like me could have.

"One day people love you, and then the next people, people hate you. One day, ‘he’s the greatest performer!’ And the next day it’s like, ‘Oh he can’t sing!’ like 22 years of work just goes away. So to be able to continue to focus on the purpose and the intent of why I’m even here and the legacy I’m creating has kept my joy intact."
