Listen up, darlings—Ms. Rizzlerina is here to spill the tea and pop the confetti, because love just turned center stage!
Honey, grab your glitter and brace your heartstrings: Jussie Smollett, our longtime heartthrob from Empire and king of on-screen charisma, is officially off the market! That’s right—our boy just got engaged, and the lucky man who snagged the final rose? None other than the dreamy, delicious Jabari Redd. I said what I said, sugarplums—this is a power couple dripping in style, substance, and sapphic sparkle!
Smollett, whose smolder still leaves camera lenses fogged up, decided to flip the script this hot June and make Pride Month shine with a diamond flourish. Just ahead of his birthday (because yes, a Leo would schedule his engagement around his own personal fireworks—iconic), the multi-talented performer popped the question to his beau in a moment that has the internet screaming, “HE SAID YES!” louder than a drag brunch during Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour. 💅🏽✨
The proposal? Oh, honey, it wasn’t just heartfelt—it was Haute. Word on the VIP streets is that Jussie orchestrated an intimate proposal brimming with candlelight, champagne vibes, and the kind of love that belongs in a Max original series. We’re talking soft eye contact, subtle flexes, and just enough glitz to remind us all why gay love stories always out-stun the rest.
Now, let’s take a moment to talk about Mr. Jabari Redd. This man isn’t just arm candy—he’s the full charcuterie board. A vibrant muse with a calm confidence, Jabari has been by Jussie’s side through red carpets, rainchecks, and all the rumors a man could swat down in a dramalicious media storm. In other words, this engagement isn’t just romantic—it’s resilient.
And let the record reflect: the couple’s engagement photos? Chile. Mood boards across Pinterest are SHOOK. Sundrenched skin, smooches that belong in Vogue, and rings that say, “Baby, we’ve arrived.” Every pixel screamed couple goals with extra seasoning.
But beyond the sparkle and the hashtags (and trust me, #Jussari is already trending), this moment is a celebration of queer joy, radical Black love, and unapologetic authenticity. Jussie said, “I’ve been through the fire, now let me find the right flame,” and Jabari lit the match. Can we get an amen and a standing ovation with glitter bombs, please?
Pride Month just levelled up, angels—and love, once again, is rocking the runway.
So now I ask you, my fabulous gossip gang: What would your dream celeb power couple proposal look like? Drop your fantasy pairings and imaginary rings in the comments! 💍💋
Until next time…
Stay fabulous, and let the gossip roll!
