Grey's Anatomy Jesse Williams Marries Girlfriend Aryn Drake-Lee

Grey’s Anatomy sexy surgeon Jesse Williams married his girlfriend of five years Aryn Drake-Lee in Los Angeles on Saturday. Jessie met Aryn in New York years ago before he moved to California in hopes of making it big in Hollywood. As it turned, his soon-to-be-wife, a Real Estate broker loved it in Cali.

“I was a teacher when I met her, so she’s been with me through all different facets of my career. She’s stuck with me through thick and thick and thick and thin. We know each other in and out, and she was very happy to move out here. She loves California and was tired of the weather on the East Coast.”

Since the move Jesse has appeared in several roles including his first breakout film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. The 31-year old actor has enjoyed much of his success on TV currently hypnotizing viewers as the handsome Dr. Jackson Avery on Grey’s Anatomy.

This past Saturday, Aryn, 32 and Jesse, 31, welcomed their closest friends and family to share in their union. According to one wedding guest,

“Jesse was beaming with joy throughout the entire ceremony. It was the perfect night with lots of smiling, laughing and emotion. You could feel the love they have for each other. They’re madly in love!”

How beautiful! Congrats to Aryn and Jesse Williams!

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
