‘Can’t believe we have another trip around the sun together,’ Brandon gushed on his page.
‘You’re the love of my life, my best friend, and the best mother to our cat children. Every day is bright with you – together, we can literally move mountains. Never not fun – can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Happy Anniversary my love.’
Much ado was made over Sidibe and Frankel both rocking rings in Beverly Hills on April 11, but he appears to have been wearing two bands on both ring fingers as far back as December 3.
The Cameo senior talent exec famously proposed to the Independent Spirit Award winner in the buff using balloon letters on their bed covered in rose petals back in November.

‘It’s weird that people think we’re already married but I guess our hearts and intentions for each other are just that clear to see,’ Gabourey wrote on November 24.
‘My BFF proposed and now I get to hold him forever. The funniest man I’ve ever met. The sweetest human to exist. @brandontour made up a song for when I put my bonnet on at night. The second I look a bit stressed and overwhelmed, he jumps into action to take over what he can for me. Every moment with him is a joy.
‘He is the partner I thought I was too independent to need. I’ve learned so much about myself through him and I feel grateful and excited to learn more about the entire world with him by my side. My partner, my best friend, my cats’ daddy, my mans, my heart, my fiancé!’
Career-wise, Sidibe received an NAACP Image Award nod for supporting actress for her role as Dawn in Gerard Bush & Christopher Renz’s dismally-reviewed 2020 thriller Antebellum.

‘I’ve heard the idea that I’m just lucky before. I’ve heard that. I’m an extremely unlucky person, actually. I’m very, very unlucky in a lot of ways. I work really, really hard though. I work really, really hard,’ Gabourey told Collider Ladies Night in September.
‘An no, the Hollywood seas didn’t part for me in the same way that it might have for maybe Anna Kendrick who was nominated for the first time [in 2009] as well, who then went on to star in films and television and the whole thing. The seas did not part that same way for me and I assume that there are a few factors that made that so, but I am still working 10 years later.’
In 2016, Sidibe reportedly shed half her 300lb, 5ft5in frame after undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
