Robin Thicke Talks Interracial Marriage

Singer Robin Thicke will discuss his interracial relationship with wife Paula Patton and the reaction of both families to their union on the new "TV One on One" premiering Sunday, Jan. 6 at 10 p.m. ET.

Thicke tells host Cathy Hughes that his family welcomed the relationship, but Patton's family had reservations.

"Pops [Patton's father] was not buying it," he says. "I mean not that he didn't like me - he just watched me with a very careful eye...Her father is from Mississippi, and a sharecropper, so there's a lot of real history....But, now that I'm 'Mr. R&B singer', I'm the coolest white guy in the family."

Thicke also discusses his successful music career and shares some of his musical influences during the "TV One on One" interview.

"Marvin Gaye's the epitome to me," he says. "I think if God could sing, He would sound like Marvin Gaye. . .If God was a man.....If God was a woman, it would be Aretha Franklin or Whitney Houston, I would say."

Also, there are rumors floating around that Robin's wife Paula is pregnant. Recent pictures of Paula show that may be true. We will keep you updated....
