Gabby Sidibe Reveals a Massive Wedding Band to Play Up Her Engagement Ring

As it turns out, actress Gabourey Sidibe has been married for more than a year - and she and husband Brandon Frankel have kept it a secret from the public. Revealing the news on Monday morning's "Live With Kelly and Ryan," Sidibe dropped the bombshell, telling the hosts, "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." Ripa and Seacrest appeared to be just as stunned as the rest of the world when Sidibe clarified this was the first time she had announced her "kitchen table" wedding.

Sidibe and Frankel later posted their rings on Instagram, with Sidibe's caption reading, "These are our official wedding photos! The Wedding at the kitchen counter featuring our rings by @happyjewelers, followed by an extremely lit reception with Aaron sniffing flowers sent to us and then a very romantic sunset dinner featuring our mask because we were still in the thick of the pandemic. We really do want to have a wedding someday but I just couldn't wait to marry this amazing man."

Sidibe wears a bridal white shirt and two pearl barrettes in the first image, showing off her baguette-cut diamond eternity band and stacked solitaire engagement ring set with a round-cut diamond and pavé band. Next to her, Frankel also holds up his hand for the camera, revealing a diamond eternity band with a slightly thicker channel setting than hers.

Though the exact styles of Sidibe's rings have not yet been confirmed, her engagement ring looks very similar to a 1.69 round brilliant natural diamond ring that Happy Jewelers currently sells. The company crafts baguette eternity bands to order in a variety of gold finishes and diamond sizes.

Sidibe announced her engagement back in November 2020 on Instagram, showing off the solitaire ring gifted to her by her now-husband Frankel. While it's unclear when they first began dating, the duo became Instagram official in September 2019, sharing a photo from date night on Frankel's feed.

In May 2022, Sidibe wore a number of wedding looks in the digital issue of Brides, and, while it was published under the guise of "why Sidibe won't wear a traditional wedding gown for her upcoming nuptials," the joke was on us, because Sidibe had technically already tied the knot.

Ahead, see Sidibe's carousel post as shared on social media, as well as options to shop similar rings for yourself if you're in the market - whether you're planning a lavish affair or opting for the more casual kitchen wedding environment embraced by Sidibe and Frankel.

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...

Does Uniqlo Heattech Really Keep You Warm? An Editor Investigates

I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...
