Nash also took to Instagram to celebrate Pride month with a picture of her and Betts. In a photo from their wedding, Nash wrote in the caption, “Happy #pridemonth we feel the love and we are sending it right back! ❤️???? #ILoveItHere.”
On Tuesday, Nash shared another picture rocking her pride. Wearing a rainbow themed bathing suit, Nash wrote a fun-filled caption and even nominated some of her close friends from the LGBTQ+ community. Tagging Laverne Cox, Colman Domingo and more as her “Pride Fairy Godparents”, she wrote, “Stepping into my first #pridemonth like…❤️???? I’m accepting invitations, gifts, & welcome packets! I’m nominating @kingofbingo@mrrpmurphy @lavernecox as my honorary Pride Fairy Godparents to show me the ropes! And @jessicabettsmusic to be my guide ??? #iLoveItHere.”
As theGrio previously reported, Nash opened up about her sexuality and surprise marriage to Betts on a recent appearance on Red Table Talk. Speaking to hosts Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris, Nash revealed her children’s reaction to her surprise marriage and coming out. She explained, “My daughters were like, ‘Wait what?’ My youngest daughter, she reminded me, she was like, ‘Wait a minute mom, are you the same mom that was like girl, I’m strictly dickly?’ And I was like, ‘Wah, wah. Like yeah, but no.’” She continued, “And my son was like, ‘Wooow.’”

As theGrio reported, Nash also opened up to Ellen DeGeneres shortly after her wedding, telling the host, “A lot of people say that, like, ‘Oh, you came out!’ and I say, ‘Well, from out of where?’ You know what I mean?” I wasn’t anywhere to come out of. I wasn’t living a sexually repressed life when I was married to men, I just loved them when I loved them. And now I love her.”
