Yvette Nicole Brown is a married woman!
The Community star, 53, married actor Anthony Davis in what she described as an “intimate, elegant and fun” wedding in Los Angeles on Saturday, December 14.
“It’s never too late,” said the actress people in an interview published on Sunday, December 15.
“I’m not someone who really likes a lot of attention, and I realized that there’s a way to have a wedding where I can make it more for other people, in the sense that because I’m a certain age and I never thought it would happen for me, my wedding can be an inspirational moment,” Brown continued. “I feel it’s important to make sure that the way God has blessed me reminds people that He’s still in the blessing business and can fully bless them.”
Brown and Davis became friends in their twenties, but reconnected in 2021 after Brown’s mother passed away.
“Instead of ‘everybody come and look at me,’ it’s like, ‘Everybody come and look at love.’ Everyone come and see what God can do. For everyone to come and see the fact that miracles can still happen,” Brown added.
The Drake and Josh the star wore a white mermaid-style dress designed by Ines Di Santowhile her groom looked dapper in a tailored brown suit.
Brown said people“I had no nerves when I had to marry this man. He is the only one for me. Absolutely.”
The wedding reception included a special performance by Tony, Grammy and Emmy-winning actor Hamilton Leslie Odom Jra friend of the couple. Davis also surprised Brown by arranging for her father — who has Alzheimer’s disease — to attend the wedding along with his nursing facility.
With her mother absent and her father ill, Brown said she was walked down the aisle by her brother, Paris.
“So my brother and his sister got involved,” the actress said. “So it was nice to walk the path to family and with family, even if it’s not the family we’d like to have in these roles.”
Brown announced his engagement to Davis in December 2023. In September, she teased exclusively for Us Weekly that their weddings may be bigger than expected.
“I’m not someone who wants a big wedding, but at the same time, there are so many people who have prayed for me and wished me, who want to celebrate me,” Brown told us. “And I feel like if I’m going to have a big party once in my life, celebrating love is the time to do it. So it might end up being a little bit bigger than I thought it would be.”
