Orji plays Rae's on-screen best friend Molly, and it seems the co-stars are close in real life as well. She revealed that the reactions among all of them were the same:

"The reaction was all the same, like, 'You out here in these streets getting married, boo!?' That was the reaction."

THEIR SHOW'S SUCCESSFUL NIGHT

While only Jay and Yvonne confirmed the news, Issa was also in attendance at the 50th annual awards night, as their show "Insecure" received a whopping eight nominations.

The show's nominations included Outstanding Comedy Show, Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Show for Rae, and Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series among many others.

Congratulations to Issa and Louise on their engagement, and to the cast of "Insecure" on their numerous nominations!
