Sidibe said that she and Frankel exchanged vows on the kitchen table. While the news went viral, Frankel confirmed the same on his social media account and wrote that they have been married since March last year. He continued,
“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. Nobody I would rather raise cats with and be in bed by a smooth 8pm with. Love you forever.”
Gabourey Sidibe mentioned that she is planning a wedding, although she did not reveal detailed information about the same.
