As you would expect, Gabourey Sidibe and Brandon Frankel are just as supportive of each other when it comes to their work commitments. After his fiancé picked up a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the NAACP Image Awards for her role in Antebellum, the latter offered his congratulations on Instagram: "I'm constantly proud and amazed at what a hard working, dedicated person she is with anything she does. She took this character, made it her own, improvised and NAILED IT! You deserve this and more, love you to death."
This wasn't the first time that Frankel had raved about Sidibe's performance as Dawn in the acclaimed horror. After viewing the film for the first time in September 2020, he took to Instagram to gush, "Not only does she shine bright and bring the laughs, the new norm for "clapping" at a drive-in movie is honking. Let's just say, she got A LOT OF HONKS! You looked gorgeous, you are gorgeous inside and out, and I'm so thankful for you."
Sidibe hasn't been quite as effusive about her husband's work yet — although there was one particular achievement she was mightily impressed with. Alongside an Instagram photo of Frankel holding up a platinum disc, she wrote, "Fun Fact: I didn't listen to anything [Brandon] said before he told me he earned a platinum plaque from [Lil Kim's] La Bella Mafia. That's when I decided to give him some. Standards."
