Gabourey Sidibe shocked fans by publicly announcing that she has, in fact, been married for more than a year. During an interview on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” Sidibe revealed that she and her partner, Brandon Frankel, have actually already tied the knot, but kept news of doing so under wraps.

The “Precious” star began the conversation by detailing her engagement to Frankel, who she met on a dating app, in late 2020. Ryan Seacrest pressed her on wedding details, but she explained that she does not like weddings—and then revealed that the couple got married “at the kitchen table” about four months after getting engaged.

Sidibe says the couple will eventually have a wedding ceremony of some sort because her mother-in-law wants one. The actor added that her dislike for weddings comes from attending a lot of them growing up because her mother was a wedding singer.
