Inside Niecy Nash's Relationship With Her Ex-Husbands
Since the beginning of her career, Nash has used her married name (via Cheat Sheet). She married Don Nash in 1994, one year before she snagged her first credited role on Boys on the Side. After 13 years, the couple called it quits and divorced in 2007 (via BET). During their time together, they had three children: Dominic, Donielle, and Dia. In 2010, Nash got engaged to her second husband Jay Tucker. The pair stayed together for eight years before calling it off in 2019 (via Cheat Sheet).
"My first marriage was to a pastor and with that divorce, I lost my husband, my pastor, and my church, just like that," Nash said at the 2020 Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Luncheon (via People). "My second divorce was made public by somebody other than me. Somebody dropped a dime, it's OK. When I got divorced for the second time, not only had I written a book about love at that time, we were hashtag couple goals all over social media." Nash said she emerged from her second divorce stronger than ever and now she's living it up with her wife Betts.
On April 8, 2020, Nash will be hosting the 32nd Annual GLAAD Media Awards (via gladd.org). The virtual ceremony will stream on GLAAD's YouTube channel at 8 p.m. EST. The virtual ceremony will also stream on Hulu at 10 p.m. EST.
