PLOT TWIST! Niecy Nash MARRIES Singer Jessica Betts In Surprise Wedding & NO, It's Not For A Movie!

Surprise! Niecy Nash is married! The “Claws” actress just revealed she tied the knot with singer Jessica Betts. Folks originally thought the marriage announcement post was from a music video or a scene from “Claws,” but it appears to be the real deal. More inside….

Life after two divorces is damn good for Niecy Nash.

The “Claws” actress and singer Jessica Betts both announced on social media that they’ve tied the knot! But wait, what?

At first, it was unclear if this marriage happened in real life, if it was scene from a music video or a scene from “Claws,” especially since Jessica starred in an episode in 2018. But, nope. It’s real. They secretly wed, according to Entertainment Tonight, during an outdoor ceremony recently.

"Mrs. Carol Denise Betts. @jessicabettsmusic #Love Wins @robertector,” the 50-year-old actress, whose real name is Carole Denise, captioned her wedding photo. The “Reno 911” starlet wowed in a white strapless wedding gown alongside her new wife who was dressed in a tailored off-white suit.

”I got a whole wife @niecynash1 # Bettsofbothworlds #LoveWins,” Jessica captioned.

Niecy's celeb friends - like Kym Whitley - hopped in her comments to congratulate her on finding love:

Photographer Rob Ector - who took the wedding photos - also confirmed she's REALLY married and this was NOT for a movie or music video:

On IG Stories, Niecy shared a photo of herself and her new wife all cuddled up after the big announcement. She wrote "plot twist" on the photo along with a rainbow emoji:

Their union may come as a sudden surprise to most, but it seems Niecy and Jessica have known each other for a few years. As we previously said, Niecy worked with Jessica on a "Claws" episode a few years ago. The award-winning actress shared some behind-the-scenes clips featuring Jessica on her IG back in 2018:

Oh?

This marks the "When They See Us" actress' third marriage. From 1994 - 2007, Niecy was married to Don Nash - who was a pastor - and they share three children. In 2011, Niecy married Jay Tucker. In December 2019, she filed for divorce, two months after they called it quits. Their divorce was finalized in March 2020.

In February, the EMMY nominated actress opened up about her divorce during her Vanguard Award acceptance speech at Essence’s 13th annual Black Women in Hollywood luncheon ahead of the 92nd Academy Awards.

“Pain is putting things in necessary order. You’ve got to acknowledge how you feel. Trust that it is so much easier to walk in your shoes than it is run towards a lie. You’ve got to own the part you play. I encourage you to walk in your truth, live your trauma and live your best damn life,” she continued.

And that's exactly what she's doing.

Around the time she made the speech, Jessica wished her Happy Birthday on IG:
