This is the first time Nash has publicly spoken about her relationship with Betts, as well as her sexual identity.
Nash divorced her husband of eight years Jay Walker in 2019, and spoke of her difficulty in finding herself throughout that process.
While accepting the Vanguard Award at the 2020 Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Luncheon, she said: Trust that it is so much easier to walk in your truth than it is to run towards a lie. Make decisions about what you now know. You gotta own the part you play, that’s important. You gotta forgive yourself and others.”

It’s been a year since songstress Ellie Goulding and Caspar Jopling tied the knot in one of Britain’s most lavish non-royal weddings to date. The private pair married…
Flowers are stunning, but they’re also a bit expected for a wedding day. Why not swop them out for some adorable puppies instead?
Puppy bouquets are a great alternative that offers more than just a few extra cute wedding guests. Couples work with animal shelters and rescues to showcase the sweet pups at their weddings in the hopes that someone in the crowd will adopt them. This way, you help dogs in need find their forever home.

If you love this idea and would like to include it in your big day, there are a few things to keep in mind. The health and safety of the dogs must be a top priority, so it is important you have structures in place to protect them.
Before bringing the dogs, make sure a welfare check has been conducted. Things to consider are whether they are old enough to be taken away from their mother, whether they have been vaccinated, and whether any of them have any injuries or anxieties that may affect them being outside.
These puppies are not toys, and not meant to be held throughout the ceremony. Instead of carrying them down the aisle, the bridal party can simply swop out their floral bouquets for the pups during the official wedding photoshoot. This limits the time they have to be held down.

For the photoshoot, make sure to brief your party on the proper way to hold a dog as those without pets may to be familiar how to do it.
It’s also important to be considerate of loud noises. If you plan on having dogs present, a fireworks display is a really bad idea as it can make them very nervous and scared. Loud music, horns or just the general traffic of a busy wedding can all contribute to their anxiety.
Having a safe space where the pups can rest, away from the guests will also be really helpful.

The world is mourning the loss of Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman, who inspired a generation as the first black Superhero. Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016 and fought through his illness to star in a host of box office hits.
A few months before his passing, Boseman and his longtime girlfriend Taylor Simone Ledward secretly tied the knot.
The pair have been together since 2015. Ledward is a music industry studies graduate from California State Polytechnic University. She has been by his side ever since. In October 2019, they reportedly became engaged and were rumoured to marry in early 2020.
While there is no news on when exactly they tied the knot, their marriage was confirmed during the announcement of Boseman’s death.
“It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman,” the statement read. “Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016 and battled with it these last four years as it progressed to stage IV. A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther. He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side.”
