'Sweet Magnolias' Star Heather Headley and Her Husband Have the Cutest Love Story

Heather Headley has been a household name for a while thanks to her continued success as an actress and singer/songwriter (she's got a Tony and Grammy, thank you very much). Currently, she plays Helen Decatur on the popular Netflix show Sweet Magnolias. And even though we're so familiar with her songs and roles, there's still a bit fans might not know. For example, did you know Headley has been married for 20 years?

The Trinidadian actress is married to Brian Musso, a former wide receiver for the New York Jets, who is now an investment banker. Headley and Musso met in college as they both attended Northwestern University. They were married on September 6, 2003, and the couple lives in the suburbs of Chicago with their three children: John David, Jordan Chase, and their youngest, a little girl, whose name has not been released.

It seems with three kids and successful careers all around, their marriage has never been better. Headley has expressed that her husband has been nothing but supportive of her performing arts career. In fact, he built her a recording studio in the backyard of their family home, which he finished in 2020. It is also reported that when Headley was cast in the musical The Bodyguard, which required her to be in London, Musso flew to see her in England a whopping 44 times.

In January of this year, Musso helped unveil a new sports complex and community center in West Chicago. Headley wrote on Instagram that she was a #ProudWife after revealing this had been a lifelong dream from Musso, and along with various nonprofits in the area, worked tirelessly to make it a reality.

As for what's next for the couple? We're not sure, but we do know, it'll be fabulous.
