Jay Ellis, one of the many stars from the smash hit HBO show Insecure, is now officially off the market. Via Instagram, the dashing actor announced his marriage to Nina Seničar but, as you’ll soon see, Twitter is being extremely weird about it.
Ellis, 40, and Seničar, 36, tied the knot officially in Italy on July 9 of this year according to Ellis’ post. In the post dated July 18, the message’s caption highlights the couple’s wedding day and the phrase “per sempre” which translates into “forever” or “always” according to our poor attempts at translation.
The photo features Ellis in a sharp burgundy suit that was simple and to the point, but the bride upstaged her groom as she should in a stunning off-the-shoulder and thigh-bearing dress.
Ellis, no stranger to weird commentary from the social media sidelines, posted the images with the ability to comment removed. Some on Twitter believe this is due to Ellis dating a person of European descent. Ellis caught the ire of many due to his portrayal of the very fictional if somewhat relatable Lawrence on Insecure. Further, when it was discovered that he was in a relationship with Seničar, Twitter weirdos went into attack mode.
The pair are also parents to a daughter, who was born in 2019. Like Ellis, Seničar also acts and is a model of Serbian descent. The pair has been together since 2015. Ellis is currently one of the stars in the summer blockbuster, Top Gun: Maverick.
We’ll share just a handful of reactions from Twitter despite some of them being a touch out of pocket. We wish to offer our warmest congratulations to Jay Ellis and Nina Seničar.

The famous and celebrity Black men love them some milk of magnesia while being so immersed in Black culture and profiting off of it as well lol. Whole fan base and people who care about him are Black but they refuse a Black woman, chile.

I respect Jay Ellis turning off his comments. Bro proactively closed off a channel of disrespect that could be aimed at him, his wife and his happiness. Protect your peace.

Everyone knew Jay Ellis wasn't married to a black woman. Damn, can we focus on the government and this inflation and women's rights crisis? Folks always worried about the wrong thing. Let that man live.

The response to whenever Jay Ellis post his white wife is proof that the whole “Date who you want, as long as you don’t disrespect black women” crowd are hypocrites. This man has never said not one problematic thing.
