"[My
marriage] has absolutely nothing to do with gender and it has everything to do
with her soul," Nash told People. "She is the most beautiful soul I have
ever met in my life."
When Nash
shared the photo from the ceremony on social media, many fans were shocked as
the actress had previously been in two different marriages to men and never
publicly discussed her sexuality. She spoke candidly about her evolving
feelings.
"I was
not suppressing my sexuality my whole life," she pointed out. "I love
who I love. At one point in my life, I married twice and I love those people.
And today I love this person. I've done everything I wanted to do on my own
terms and my own way. So my choice now in a partner has nothing to do with who
I've always been. It's a matter of who I am in this moment."
She continued,
"I don’t feel like my marriage is my coming out of anywhere, but rather a
going into myself and being honest about who I love. And I’m not limiting
myself on what that love is supposed to look like."
Nash said the
two first connected on social media in 2015 when she was still married to her
second husband, Jay Tucker. "[Jessica] and I were friends, but I never saw
her as someone I would date." Something shifted in their relationship
after she divorced Tucker in October of 2019.
"I loved
her before I was in love with her because she is such a special human
being," Nash explained. "But we began to see each other in a way we
never had before. Sometimes you get so broken by love, you run from it. But
I’ve learned that you should always hold space for magic because it can happen
at any time."
Nash and Betts
tied the knot at their home in Ventura County, California on August 29, 2020,
with twenty-four of their closest friends and family. Nash certainly seems to
be enjoyed the honeymoon phase now.
"I’ve got
my feet up, I’m looking at the ocean and I’ve got the greatest love of my life
in my peripheral," said Nash. "I couldn’t be happier.”

Adore Niecy. She is funny and a total light upon this world, an absolute gift. I love that she is sharing her soul and talking about this. It furthers the discussion re: the fluidity of sexuality. We fall in love with people, not body parts. Amen.
