On Saturday, Michael Ealy took to social media to take a stand against President Donald Trump’s recent travel and immigration ban with a picture of his Afghani-American wife along with the caption #NoMuslimBan.

Ealy has been married to Khatira Rafiqzada since 2012, but he has always been private about his personal life. So, the picture of Rafiqzada is a break from the norm for him, showing not only a glimpse into his private life but also showcasing how strongly Ealy feels about this issue.

“I don’t live my life in a social way,” Ealy told Wendy Williams in a 2016 interview. “I don’t put everything out on social media. I don’t live that reality lifestyle. At the same time, I’ve always been private, ever since I was in high school. Like, people think, ‘Oh, you’re in Hollywood,’ I’m like, ‘No, no.’ If you knew me in high school, you knew. I learned then, if you want something to work, if it means that much to you, keep it to yourself.”
