Empire stars Trai Byers and Grace Gealey have tied the knot.
The 32-year-old onscreen eldest son of Lucious Lyon
(Terrence Howard) wed his 31-year-old girlfriend, who plays Lucious's
ex-fiancée Anika Calhoun.
TMZ reported that the duo exchanged 'I do's' in a
private ceremony at a mansion on Grand Cayman Island on Thursday, with a very
limited guest list which reportedly did not include any of their Empire
co-stars.
The short, five table, guest list was limited to close
friends and relatives, who dined on steak and lobster during the following
celebration.
Following the ceremony the happy couple - and
guests - celebrated dancing to hip-hop, disco, and reggae.
Trai proposed to Grace on her 31st birthday this
past July, with Us Weekly reporting
that he 'popped the question and she was totally surprised and elated. She
can’t stop looking at the ring! They celebrated all night.'
Prior to their engagement, rumors of a relationship
between the two Empire stars had circulated for months.
Grace seemed to first confirm the engagement while appearing
on an October episode of FABLife, hosted by Tyra Banks and Chrissy
Teigen.
She had been speaking about her thoughts on
relationships with co-workers, sharing that she believed it was less likely to
be trouble if you established it wasn't a fling or 'frivolous and fleeting.'
'[You have] to have the maturity to say that if
this doesn't work out, you're not going to you know, throw staplers,' she said.
This prompted Tyra to ask about Grace's relationship with
co-star Trai, after which she flashed her engagement ring, noting: 'For real,
for real. Not a fling!'
And when Tyra asked if the actress had told anyone
the big news yet, she hinted that her FABLife appearance was the first
announcement, quipping: 'I just did!'
The newlyweds star on Fox's smash hit empire, which
airs Wednesdays at 9pm.
