Niecy Nash-Betts and her wife have mastered the art of relaxation: 'We don't do nothing but make love, skinny dip and drink expensive champagne'
Niecy Nash-Betts is the undisputed queen of enjoyment. In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, the Rookie: Feds actress opened up about her marriage, being her authentic self and her affinity for luxury.
"We don't do nothing but make love, skinny dip and drink expensive champagne," the actress said of the routine she has fallen into with her wife, Jessica Betts. The couple got married in 2020, and Nash-Betts was very clear about her must-haves for a successful marriage.
"Before we got married, I said, 'Listen, when we get married, here's my goal. I want us to make love all around the world,'" she shared.
Nash also attributes a lot of her creative energy, a must for her field, to the security her relationship with Betts provides.
"My relationship is my soft place to land," the former Claws star shared. "She knows me so well. Her perspective on a project, on a character, on a scene is always going to be something that I need to hear."
Nash-Betts says her relationship also allowed her to show up as her most authentic self.
"Being comfortable in my skin has been a gift. I liken it to my marriage because I've never been a person who lives my life in a closeted type of way," she said.
The couple’s wedding likely came as a surprise to many fans, but the Reno 911 star — whose two previous marriages were with men — said that she never intended to keep things under wraps for too long.
"[Early on] our relationship wasn't a secret, but it was private," she said. I couldn't wait to just be like, 'This is me.' I didn't know if people were gonna turn their backs on me. But I don't do secrets. It's not in my DNA."
In the two years that they have been married the pair have quickly climbed the "couple goals" ranks and it doesn't look like their reign will be ending anytime soon.
"If it was not for my better half, I don't know what I would do," Nash-Betts mused. "I really don't even know. She encourages me. She motivates me. She massages me. She makes sure I eat. She does everything."
