Issa Rae is officially off the market.

In an Instagram post on Monday, the "Insecure" creator and star revealed she had married her longtime boyfriend Louis Diame over the weekend in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a commune in the South of France.

Alongside a series photos of her destination wedding taken by Lauren Fair, Rae joked: "A) Impromptu photo shoot in a custom @verawanggang dress. B) My girls came to help me, but they all coincidentally had on the same dress! They were sooooo embarrassed. C) Then I took a few flicks with Somebody's Husband."

Rae's marriage to Diame may come as a surprise to some of her fans. The actress has been known to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, though Diame has occasionally joined her on red carpets over the years.

Rumors of their engagement first surfaced when Rae was spotted wearing a diamond ring in the cover photo of Essence magazine's April 2019 issue. It was later confirmed by her "Insecure" costars Jay Ellisand Yvonne Orji that Issa and Louis were indeed together and planning to wed.

"We're very excited for her," Orji told Entertainment Tonight at the time, with Ellis adding, "We all found out in different ways because we're all on different text chains. We talk at different times, so we all found out at different times in different ways."
