looks like “queen sugar” star rutina wesley is engaged, confirming she is queer!

Looks like Ralph Angel ain’t the only one getting married, y’all!

Recently, Rutina Wesley, who stars as Nova Bordelon on Queen Sugar, has been posting intimate pictures (no, not that kind of intimate!) with Chef Shonda, a popular New Orleans-based chef, along with romantic quotes.

But on Saturday the relationship seemed to have taken a huge leap to the next level, when Wesley shared a photo gallery on Instagram that included more poetry verses and photos of the two, along with what appears to be an engagement ring!

Wesley was previously married to actor Jacob Fishel, but they divorced in 2013. Wesley has played queer roles on both True Blood and Queen Sugar, but we never knew that she could be playing from real life experience.

Congratulations!
