From Irwin Entertainment, the production company behind the hit series “Celebrity Rehab,” “Couples Therapy” and “Family Therapy,” comes “Love Goals,” in which renowned family and relationship therapist, Spirit, counsels five celebrity couples who are at crossroads in their relationships. Their challenges range from fame and power, infidelity, and communication issues, as well as overcoming childhood trauma.

Appearing in the freshman season of “Love Goals” will be: Benzino and Althea Heart, whose tumultuous and litigious relationship is well known to fans from their featured roles in “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta;” Former NFL wide receiver and rapper Dwayne “Money” Bowe and Theresa Bowe, who have been together for 11 years and wed in 2018; Actress and former “Basketball Wives” star Sundy Carter and boyfriend Breyon Williams; Former Salt-n-Peppa group member Dee Dee “Spinderella” Roper and comedian Quenton “Q” Coleman; Plus rapper/actor/chef and producer Coolio and his fiancé, Mimi Ivey.
This week’s episode airing tomorrow (Saturday, April 25th), highlights progress in Benzino’s therapy and shows how the therapy is helping him to deal with his issues and focuses on a calming type of technique he can use to diffuse tense or negative situations.
Series’ host, Spirit, is a licensed therapist and media personality who aims to empower people with the skills, tools, and information vital to developing, sustaining and maximizing healthy, intimate relationships.
