Gabourey confused Kelly and Ryan when she mistakenly said ‘We’ve been married since 2001… 2002?’ she said turning to ask Brandon.

Ryan added he didn’t know what to believe as Kelly asked if it was breaking news.

‘Yeah, we got married at the kitchen table, it was just us…’ she said, before Ryan interjected for clarification on the year.

‘Wait, you’re confused. You’ve been married since 2002?’ he asked her.

‘No, 2001…’ Gabourey said before Kelly added ‘2021’ as Ryan looked confused.

‘We got engaged in 2020, we got married in 2021, like four months later,’ she added.

‘Wedding have panicked me up until this point, even more so now,’ Ryan joked.

‘I really don’t like weddings,’ Gabourey said.

‘We’ve been married over a year,’ the star added with a laugh.

Ryan asked her why she doesn’t like weddings, to which she said: ‘I don’t like weddings, like one I’m… we’ll have a wedding… I’ve not like weddings since before there was a partner involved. It’s too much… too many things… like my mother in law… shout out to Sherry… she’s going to want a wedding.’

‘And I don’t like them because my mom was a wedding singer growing up. I’ve been at a lot of weddings uninvited and just like been the weird kid eating cake at a stranger’s wedding. And now I don’t like them,’ the actress said.

Soon after, Brandon took to his Instagram to share photos from their wedding day.

‘Surprise! I can finally call her my wife publicly! Since @gabby3shabby finally spilled the beans today on Live with Kelly and Ryan – we’ve been married since March ’21!’ Brandon wrote on his Instagram page.

‘Relieved we can finally tell the world. So thankful to have found my forever person, my partner-in-crime, and the love of my life,’ he said.

‘Every day is the best day with you. Nobody I would rather raise cats with and be in bed by a smooth 8pm with. Love you forever.’
