Orange Is the New Black star Uzo Aduba recently went on Instagram to celebrate her one-year marriage anniversary to filmmaker Robert Sweeting. The post caught her fans and social media followers by surprise, however, as this was the first time they learned about Aduba being wed.  

It turns out that Aduba and Sweeting tied the knot last year at a private ceremony in New York but decided to keep it under wraps. The news was officially confirmed by Aduba’s representative in a statement made to The Hollywood Reporter after the actress posted a photo that shows the happy couple on the day of their wedding.

Aduba captioned the photo with a quote from classic rom-com When Harry Met Sally before adding: “I’m so happy my life started last year with you. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.”

It didn’t take long for congrats to start pouring in from both the fans and her fellow celebs.

Sweeting also acknowledged the anniversary on his Instagram account, sharing a different photo from the wedding while attaching several others that show the couple having fun.

“You are the greatest person I’ve ever known, and I’m proud to be your husband,” he wrote in the caption.

Uzo Aduba is best known for starring as Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren on Orange Is the New Black, winning two Emmy awards for her work on the series. She also added one Emmy Award for her portrayal of Shirley Chisholm in the historical drama Mrs. America.

The Emmy winning actress has been cast in Americanah

Uzo Aduba is set to star opposite Lupita Nyong’o in the series based on the best-selling novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. 

The series tells the story of Ifemelu (Nyong’o), a self-assured young woman raised in Nigeria, who, as a teenager, falls in love with her classmate Obinze (Zackary Momoh).

“Living in a military-ruled country, they each depart for the west. Ifemelu heads for America, where she finds academic success but is forced to grapple for the first time with what it means to be black,” according to the streamer’s official description. “Quiet, thoughtful Obinze had hoped to join her, but with post-9/11 America closed to him, he instead plunges into a dangerous undocumented life in London. A highly lauded tale that has become a leader in the cultural conversation, Americanah is an incredible exploration of the human experience that crosses three continents to give an empathetic, compelling view of the complex realities of race, politics, immigration, and identity.”

Per Variety, which was first to report the news, the Orange Is the New Black star will play Aunty Uju, Ifemelu’s young aunt and confidant. A highly intelligent doctor, Uju left Nigeria under tumultuous circumstances and has resettled in America to build a better life for herself and her son Dike.

FX’s anthology series Fargo has tapped the Orange Is the New Black star for its fourth season.

Uzo Aduba has joined the forthcoming installment of the series inspired by the 1996 Coen Brothers film.

While it’s known that the season will be set in 1950s Kansas City and revolves around two crime families — one African-American, one Italian, and tackles issues of migration and immigration, all that’s been confirmed of Aduba’s character is her name – Zelmare.

Aduba joins an ensemble cast that includes Chris Rock, Ben Whishaw, Jason Schwartzman, and Jack Huston.

Fargo season 4 is slated to premiere sometime in 2020.
