Just over 10 years ago, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” producers launched a search to find the most romantic man in America — and they certainly found him. Sam Bacote was nominated by his wife, Lisa, who passionately listed all of the ways her husband went above and beyond the common gestures of romance. Each day of their relationship, Lisa says Sam made her feel special.
“He treats me like I’m a queen, every day. And it doesn’t take a special occasion for him to show romance,” she gushed back then.
Sam showered his wife with flowers, wrote her poetry and even mailed Lisa cards despite living under the same roof, but the act that trumped them all was the day he proposed.

“It’s important to us as a couple to model for our children what a loving relationship looks like, so that they can in turn wish for that, as we wish for it for them,” she says.
“Oprah: Where Are They Now?” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on OWN, returning with all-new episodes in March.
