Surprise! Jermelle Simon Just Revealed He’s a Married Gay Man
Jermelle Simon just pulled off one of the cleanest soft-launches in romantic history: a literal marriage announcement disguised as a poolside kiss. No confetti. No hashtag. No elaborate PR rollout. Just a photo, a date—10.1.25—and the words that broke every gay heart (in the best possible way):
“No aisle. No audience. Just us, husbands.”
Yes, husbands. As in married for two months and casually dropping the news on Instagram like it’s a random Throwback Thursday. The internet is still recovering.

A Love Story That Started in the DMs
Like all modern queer fairy tales, the Simon–Jones romance began exactly where you’d expect: the DMs; not the kind you see people doing today. It’s the “I see you, but I’m not about to make it weird” kind.
According to Simon, Jones slid into his inbox after watching him on a now-wrapped Netflix series, sending a message that was part compliment, part congratulations, and 100% successful.
“Real smooth like, but friendly for sure,” Simon says, remembering the moment.
Was it flirting? Not yet. At first, it was just good energy. And then, like so many gay relationships, a single date changed everything. Their destination? Joyce, the downtown L.A. restaurant that has seen more soft-launches than a startup accelerator. The food is good, the lighting is flattering, and apparently, the vibes are powerful enough to shift friendships into soulmateships.
Risking the Friendship—In the Best Way Possible
Jones remembers the transition vividly.
“He’s always been fine, but what drew me in was how intentionally nice he was/is,” he said—bless this man for being honest. But with the chemistry came the fear. “Are we sure we want to risk our friendship for romance?” was the thought floating around both their heads.
Spoiler: yes, they were sure.
Whatever timeline they moved on afterward? That part stays private. “Gotta keep something offline,” they shared. Honestly? A serve. A boundary. A breath of fresh air in a world that documents everything.
A Life Built Together
What we do know is that 2025 was a year of big shifts for Simon. In October of last year, he came out publicly on National Coming Out Day, a moment fans embraced with love and support. And in April, Jones proposed after they moved into their new home—a home they share with Simon’s three children, who are clearly a central part of this family.
“Loving [Obio] didn’t feel like I was betraying myself,” Simon explained.
It’s the kind of simple, powerful truth that stops you in your tracks.

Meanwhile, Jones remains the soft-spoken, thoughtful partner every parent dreams of bringing into their kids’ lives.
“I think he does a beautiful job of being mindful and aware of others,” Simon added. “If there is a way he can help, he will.”
The Chillest Marriage Announcement of All Time
Back to the photo: the newlyweds are poolside, kissing, serving a vibe that says “honeymoon energy meets brunch after.” It’s intimate, low-key, sun-drenched bliss.
Which is why fans did NOT expect a marriage bombshell to drop in the caption.
And the comments? A masterpiece:
“The fact that it’s backdated and no one really knew makes this post even better! I love this for y’all. Congratulations fellas! We love brown gay love.”
“Yes lawd!”
“HUSBANDS!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS.”
“CONGRATS KINGS!”
It’s the kind of reaction you get when queer people witness a love story that’s tender, grown, grounded, and unapologetically joyful.
A Celebration of Brown Gay Love
In an era where relationships are sometimes treated like content strategies, Simon and Jones remind us of something beautifully simple: love doesn’t always need an audience. It just needs two people choosing each other, intentionally and wholeheartedly.
No aisle. No audience. Just them.
Just husbands.
And honestly? That’s the kind of love worth celebrating all year long.
