Just in time for his 43rd birthday, former Empire star Jussie Smollett shocked fans on June 20 by revealing his engagement to longtime partner Jabari Redd. He posted a touching Instagram carousel that included champagne hugs, a picture of the engagement ring, Redd's exuberant "YES," and him on one knee.
Public and online celebrations erupted: Empire alum Taraji P. Henson responded with love and enthusiasm, while sister Jurnee Smollett welcomed Redd into the family.
Following a contentious legal history, Smollett settled a civil case with the City of Chicago in May by giving $50,000 to charity, and the Illinois Supreme Court reversed criminal convictions related to the 2019 hate crime incident in November 2024.
