‘Socks, Tennis Shoes and Bedroom Shoes!’: Keshia Knight Pulliam Jokes About Being ‘Old Married People’ with New Hubby Brad James

Keshia Knight Pulliam is enjoying her newly married life with actor Brad James.

Just two weeks after tying the knot, the newlyweds are already doing “old married people stuff,” according to Pulliam. Her latest Instagram post, which was uploaded on Friday, Oct. 8, had one photo of her leaning over in James’ lap as she stuck out her tongue. In the second and final photo, viewers can only see their feet and what appears to be the two sitting in a field with a fountain.

Keshia was wearing slippers while James was wearing long socks and tennis shoes.

The entirety of her caption reads, “Just coolin our heels… Doing old married people stuff on a Friday!!!” Giving more context to the photos, James wrote, “Out on the ranch, these socks stop bites from everything except snakes. Sup girl @keshiaknightpulliam.”

Fans responded to the “Madea Goes To Jail” star’s post with positive comments. “Happy Friday, Keshia! Totally feel you on doing the old married people stuff on a Friday. It’s the best!,” read one comment.

Someone else said, “Socks, tennis shoes, and bedroom shoes! You have arrived!” Another wrote, “OMG I JUST LOVE YOU TWO AND I AM OVERJOYED THAT YOU FOUND PURE TRUE LOVE BECAUSE YOU TRULY DESERVE IT.”

This marriage is not the first for James or Pulliam. While it still has not been revealed to whom James was married, Pulliam, on the other hand, had a very public and messy divorce from Edgerton Hartwell, who is also the father of her child, Ella Grace Hartwell. They were only married for two years.

But the very next year, in 2019, she met her knight in shining armor, James, on the set of their film “Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta.” Since they began a romantic relationship, things for the entertainers have been moving quickly. By December 2020, they were engaged, and nearly a year later, they’ve said their “I Do’s” in an “absolutely perfect” wedding.

It does not appear that 40-year-old James has any children as of yet, and the two have not revealed whether they plan to have children.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

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.
