Oprah Winfrey’s go-to relationship guru, mayor of OWN’s Lovetown, USA, and author of It’s Complicated (But It Doesn’t Have to Be) Paul Brunson regaled scores of fans in a forum hosted by Caribbean Fortress Limited at The Courtleigh auditorium in Kingston yesterday. Brunson, considered a real-life Hitch (Will Smith’s 2005 hit film), brought his matchmaking know-how to Jamaica, home to his mother and late grandfather. Here are highlights!
