ACADEMY-AWARD-NOMINATED actress Danielle Brooks walked down the aisle in 2022.
Many of her fans are curious about who her lucky man is.
Who is Danielle Brooks’ husband, Dennis Gelin?
Academy-award-nominated actress Danielle Brooks has been married to her husband, Dennis Gelin, since 2022.
Although she has lived much of her adult life in the spotlight, her husband has been much more private.
Extra TV reported that Dennis works in real estate, but not much else is known about him other than that.
How did Danielle Brooks and Dennis Gelin meet?
Danielle Brooks met Dennis Gelin when she held a game night with a friend.
She told Vogue about the night they met, saying, “He rolled in mad late, like two to three hours late.”
“When all of us heard the door ring, the group decided to play a trick and grill the next person who walked in the door.”
“I opened the door and everyone gave him the death stare,” she explained to the outlet.
“As the host, it felt a bit harsh for someone I didn’t know to get playfully grilled, so I decided to quickly greet him with a smile and asked to take his coat. He smiled back.”
Dennis made an impression on Danielle after he asked her if he could take out her trash.
“I was so taken aback because there had been at least 10 guys in the room, and no one had thought enough to ask such a thoughtful question,” Danielle said.
She also recalled that the two exchanged numbers that night and that Dennis had sent her flowers the very next day.
“My heart started to flutter,” she said. “I could feel it.”
“At that moment, I said to myself, ‘If this card says ‘From Dennis’ I have found my husband.’”
What did Danielle Brooks say about her wedding?
Danielle Brooks and Dennis Gelin were engaged in 2020, just a month after welcoming a baby girl.
The couple shared their vows at the DuPont Building in Miami in 2022.
The Color Purple actress told Extra, “I’m on top of the world. I’m so happy, it was the best ever, the best day ever.”
The wedding took place amid the Omicron variant outbreak, so the couple had to take extra precautions, according to Vogue.
“It was a bit too late in the process to turn back,” she said.
“So we added extra precautions with required PCR tests and rapid tests the day of the wedding.”
