As a person who happens to like Lois Lane better than Wonder Woman or Superman it's time to let BP/Storm marriage stuff go.Lois and Clark after 70+ years and an adoring fan base and Comic-wise D.C. has moved on. Comparably together five minutes and a base that never supported it (for reasons good and bad) why in the hell would they put that mess back together unless they want to ensure the books a miserable failure?
Exactly! Here is part of a post I did on another board about Storm that includes a potential romantic interest:
Storm's supporting cast should be an international group of regular humans devoid of all super powers. Heck, I would love it if a man were introduced in the series where he and Storm became good friends and eventual lovers. He should be a regular human with no super powers. Imagine if this man were a multi-billionaire environmental enthusiast? This way, he doesn't detract at all from Storm in her own solo title in regards to the super hero stuff. It would be an interesting dynamic as well. How does a regular human man deal with dating a woman who has the will and power to end all life on Earth with power reserves on a cosmic scale? Or, he could just be head over heels for her and what she's doing for the Earth. The occasional appearance of a character like Kitty Pryde, or Wolverine, or Ms. Marvel, or Nightcrawler, or Gambit, or Invisible Woman, or Black Panther, or Yukio, or Captain America would be cool. However, I don't want to see another super powered person on her permanent supporting cast. They would be stealing some of the action from Storm.Storm/BP is a very sore spot with the Storm fanbase right now. Trying to reconstitute a romantic relationship between the two will instantly ensure Storm's new title's failure as it will alienate too many fans. The marriage did not work out. It could have, but there were too many blunders which I have already outlined in another thread on this board. If Marvel wanted to try a Storm/BP relationship again, they need to wait a couple of years before trying to bring them together and let things build up naturally this time. However, a Storm/BP romance should be the furthest thing from their minds at this time and for the foreseeable future for the sake of the book attracting and holding readership.
On a different note, here is another interview with Pak regarding Storm's new ongoing:

In WAP, Storm had to balance being both an X-Man and Queen of Wakanda. She had to deal with a threat that threatened Wakanda, BP and the X-Men all at once. She balanced that out well and it was exciting. This ongoing looks to be along the same lines with her balancing world crusader and headmistress of the Jean Grey School.
