Deelishis Shoots Her Shot at Shannon Sharpe and IG Explodes: ‘We Got Married Last Night’

Deelishis from “Flavor of Love” just expressed her deep fondness for sports commentator Shannon Sharpe in a comedic Instagram post.

But although her message was peppered with funny hashtags, her intent seemed serious: And that was to let Sharpe know that she truly wants him.

“True story. Okay, not so true story but I know y’all keep asking why bae smiling so hard at work today,” she wrote next to a photo of herself and Sharpe. “It’s cause we got married last night in a private ceremony. So private I honestly don’t think he even remembers. Can y’all go remind bae him is married. #EyesMarriedNow,#HeAndSheAreMeantToBe#AndHeDontEvenKnowYet, #FantasyFriday, YAY MEEEEE, #LondonSharpe,#SheFunnyFriday, FICTION, #FUN#, AintNoProblemAintNoProblem.”

Sharpe hasn’t responded to Deelishis yet, and his followers went on his page to ask why.

Perhaps the silence has to do with the former NFL star being accustomed to the role of pursuer since he created a big fuss over meeting his ultimate crush Nicole Murphy on his show “Undisputed.”

He eventually met the 50-year-old beauty, and the two took a photo together. But whatever the reason for Sharpe’s silence, he was definitely teased about it.

“Man it’s a sad day,” one person wrote. “I never thought I’d see the day Unc @shannonsharpe84 would get quiet … You know the game, sir. You’ve been chose.”

But others wanted Sharpe to reply so he and Deelishis could really get married and live happily ever after together.

“So @shannonsharpe84, @iamsodeelishis shootin’ that thang from the baseline full court,” someone wrote. “She talkin’ ’bout it’s a joke … Every joke holds some truth so go ahead and lock this down so I can sing at the wedding and reception. We ain’t got all damn day.”

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.
