Gabourey Sidibe and her longtime partner have just revealed a huge secret. They have been together for many years and have fans that adore their relationship but have not made any permanent commitments.

However, the couple has now announced that they have been keeping quiet about a significant moment in their relationship. They have kept their private lives extremely secret and only reveal what they want to and when they want to.

Sidibe and her partner, Brendan Frankel, met on a dating app and got engaged in November 2020. However, they have not said anything more about their relationship or an upcoming wedding.

When the couple got engaged, Sidibe said she found it confusing that people already thought they were married but figured it was because everyone could see their love and intentions for one another.

Sidibe announced her engagement and said she got engaged to "the funniest man" and was excited that they would spend forever together. She admitted she thought she was too independent of needing her fiancé.

The actress said she found her engagement ring a month before Frankel proposed. She then found a big clue that he would propose about three hours before he actually did it.

She said that they were going to get their nails done, and before leaving the house, she went into a room to turn off the lights and found the room covered in rose petals, with a "Will you marry me?" balloon inside.

Now, Sidibe has revealed that she has been married to her partner for over a year. She said that she and her husband tied the knot at their kitchen table four months after they got engaged. She said:

"The thing about weddings is I don't like them. I don't like them. Here's an example of how much I don't like them: I'm actually married. We got married over a year ago."

The crowd where she revealed the news was shocked, and her husband, who sat in the audience, simply held his hand up to show off his wedding ring and confirm that they were married.

Will There Be One More Wedding for Gabby Sidibe?

Sidibe said that she didn't enjoy weddings because she had been to too many over the years, uninvited. Sidibe's mother was a wedding singer, and she said she was always with her mother at the weddings and had developed a dislike for them.

She said whenever she went to a wedding where her mother was singing, she felt weird because she was the child who was eating the wedding cake at the wedding of someone she didn't know.

She then said she knew that her mother-in-law would want a big wedding eventually, and they would have one. Although she feels like weddings are too much and she is already legally married, she said she would have a wedding.

How Did Brandon Frankel React To Sidibe's Breaking News?

While Frankel was quiet in the audience as Sidibe announced her news, shyly showing off his ring finger, he later took to Instagram to share his feelings about the engagement, saying: "SURPRISE! I can finally call her my WIFE publicly!"

He said he was pleased that his wife had finally "spilled the beans" about their marriage in public and didn't have to hide his happiness and love, and then said:

"Relieved we can finally tell the world. So thankful to have found my forever person, my partner-in-crime, and the love of my life. Every day is the best day with you."

The post was filled with photos of him and Sidibe showing off their wedding rings, and there was a photo of cupcakes with the couple's initials. Frankel said he would "love [Sidibe] forever."
