Jamal and Octavius Terry-Sims

Thirteen years for a Hollywood relationship is certainly quite the feat to achieve, whether you’re LGBTQ or not. Jamal Sims and Octavius Terry managed to make it happen, though, and that’s despite the challenges they encountered along the way. They got married in 2014, in a truly unexpected way that must have left everyone green with envy. While grand gestures of love isn’t always necessary in relationships, the way this couple did it would make you rethink that statement.

Because of how brave they were with their love, everyone expected these two to last. However, this wasn’t the case for both of them—much to the heartbreak of their fans and those in the LGBTQ community. In 2019, the couple announced that they were taking different paths in life and have officially split up. Wherever the road takes them, they deserve credit for boldly facing everything head on.
