While the post carried a comedic tone, it is clear that Sidibe and her fiancé have a similar sense of humor, which she expressed in December, when she celebrated his 36th birthday.

Alongside a risqué photo of Frankel, the "Precious" actress recounted all the ways that the pair are suited for each other, showing her appreciation for his eagerness to carry out different exciting adventures with her.

Although some fans thought Sidibe and Frankel were already married, they announced their engagement on Instagram in November with heartfelt messages describing their love for one another.

Their relationship became public in 2019 when Frankel shared the first photos of them. The "Antebellum" actress admitted that she met him shortly after deciding to ditch patriarchal standards in relationships.

Sidibe found happiness in Frankel and has been so proud to flaunt her relationship and sparkling engagement ring even while running mundane errands around Los Angeles.

Shortly after the engagement, the "American Horror Story" actress and Frankel, a marketing and branding expert, were spotted holding hands during a grocery run while flashing her beautiful ring.
