Even in the spotlight, several celebrities were pros at keeping their marital status private.
“Mrs. Carol Denise Betts,” Niecy Nash wrote via Instagram in August 2020 alongside a photo from her wedding to singer Jessica Betts. In a separate post on her Instagram Story, the actress joked, “#PlotTwist.”
Niecy was previously married to Don Nash from 1994 to 2007 and to Jay Tucker from 2011 to 2019. In February 2020, Niecy tearfully confirmed the end of her second marriage, admitting that she and Tucker were “better friends than life partners.”
“The one that made me laugh the most was an ode to him being attractive. [They said] ‘Well, you never had to put a sack on his head to sleep with him,’” she recalled of her family’s reaction to her divorce. “I replied, ‘What about my happiness?’”
Niecy had not previously confirmed her relationship with Betts before revealing their surprise nuptials.
