"Mrs.
Carol Denise Betts," Nash wrote to Twitter. Though she's known popularly
as Niecy Nash, the actress's legal name is Carol Denise. She was previously
married to Jay Tucker and Don Nash.
In the photo,
Nash appears in a wedding gown, having clearly just been wed to Jessica Betts,
who also appears in the photo. Betts is a musician. The two had not publicly
been known as a couple prior to the post. Nash was not publicly known to be
queer either, though she played a lesbian doctor on The Mindy Project in
2014. She notably
kissed Mindy Kaling as a part of the role.
Details of the
wedding ceremony are not yet known. Betts confirmed the news on Instagram
writing "I got a whole wife."
The pair have
posted about one another prior. While on the set of Claws, a queer
inclusive TNT series Nash led, the pair posted a photo where Nash referred to
Betts as her "homegirl." The singer also played the role of Nadege in
the series for at least one episode in 2018.
The news makes
Nash the latest in the string of high-profile Black, sapphic women with love
life updates. Raven-Symone announced
her marriage to her wife Miranda Pearman-Maday in June. Da Brat
clarified speculation about her sexuality, and confirmed
that she was seeing Jesseca Dupart in March.
Congratulations
to Mrs. and Mrs. Carol and Jessica Betts.

Say it is not so! OMG. All my favorite comediennes are gay. When Wanda Sykes came out, I was psyched. And now Niecy? I had no idea. I just adore her. She sparks up anything she touches. Scream Queens had it's issues, but she was a highlight from day one. Reno 911 was a fave for awhile, too. I really like her energy. Well, good for her. I don't know why, but I can definitely see Niecy laying back and getting some high quality attention to her lady parts. LOL.
