Inside Niecy Nash's Relationship With Her Wife
While on "Red Table Talk," Niecy Nash was asked how her children initially reacted to and felt about her romantic relationship with Jessica Betts. According to Nash, her daughters, Dia and Donielle, were especially shocked but accepting."[Dia] made me watch a show, all about what are all the labels, all the names, and after it was over, my head was spinning," Nash told Tamron Hall (via BET). "I was like, 'Girl, I'm more confused now than I was before this. ... If I have to coin it in the moment, I would say I'm Jess-sexual." Nash's son Dominic had a less intense response, but he was still surprised by his mother's confession.
"My children were able to meet Jessica before they knew we were dating, so they were able to meet her and form their own opinion about her as a person. And they all were like, 'Oh my god, she's so cool! Oh my god, I like her!'" Nash shared on "Red Table Talk." "They were exchanging numbers and all this and that, so they already liked her."
All three of Nash's children are shared with her first husband, Reverend Don Nash, who is still very much so involved in Nash and her children's lives. In a 2020 interview with SheKnows, Nash shared that she spends holidays with Don, their children, and Betts. "Everyone will stay in their pajamas and we will celebrate and love on one another as best we can," she further explained.
