‘BLACK-ISH’ CHILD STAR MARCUS SCRIBNER MARRIES CHILDHOOD SWEETHEART!! ‘Boston Blue’ Actor Ties The Knot With Middle School Crush Gracie Globerman In Stunning LA Wedding! (DETAILS)
Honey, clear off your timelines and grab your tissues, because one of our favorite TV sons is officially a married man! Media Take Out can confirm that former Black-ish child star and current Boston Blue lead Marcus Scribner has officially tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart, Gracie Globerman, in a romantic Los Angeles dinner-party wedding!
The 26-year-old actor—who spent eight seasons starring as Andre “Junior” Johnson Jr. on ABC’s hit comedy before taking on his new role as rookie cop Jonah Silver on CBS’s Boston Blue—celebrated his nuptials surrounded by close family and friends in a ceremony featured by Vogue!
A Match Made In Middle School
Marcus and Gracie’s love story is straight out of a Hollywood movie script! The sweethearts first met way back in the sixth grade at Emerson Middle School in Los Angeles. While they shared the same lunch benches and friend group throughout middle school, the two didn’t officially start dating until years later.
After losing touch during high school while Marcus was busy filming Black-ish, fate stepped in during their senior year when they randomly bumped into each other while volunteering at a middle school mentoring event. Marcus played the long game until the timing was finally right, and the two have been inseparable ever since!
Marcus popped the question back in August 2025 during a romantic picnic at an arboretum in Davis, California, setting the stage for their dream hometown wedding.
Inside The Romantic LA Nuptials
The couple kicked off their wedding weekend by staying at the iconic Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, where they shared private written vows with each other the night before the main event.
For the main ceremony, the New York-based couple chose the stunning Los Angeles restaurant République so their grandparents could comfortably attend:
- The Looks: Gracie looked effortlessly stunning in a vintage gown paired with heirloom jewelry and brown Jimmy Choo heels, while Marcus looked sharp in a custom chocolate brown wool suit, Givenchy derby shoes, and an Oyster Steel Rolex.
- The Aisle: The day began with a traditional Jewish ketubah signing. Marcus walked down the aisle to Laufey’s From the Start, while Gracie floated down to Lana Del Rey’s Video Games.
- The Party: Guests enjoyed a multicourse dinner, a yuzu olive oil wedding cake, a traditional hora dance, and late-night tacos to cap off the party, followed by a post-wedding brunch hosted by Marcus’ mother the next day.
Black Twitter Reacts: Backlash Over Interracial Marriage
While many fans flooded social media to congratulate the newlyweds on their middle-school romance, the wedding news quickly ignited a passionate debate across Black Twitter.
A vocal wave of Black women on X (formerly Twitter) expressed frustration over the union, pointing to a recurring pattern in Hollywood where successful young Black men choose non-Black partners:
- The Representation Debate: Critics voiced disappointment, arguing that too many prominent Black actors and entertainers continue to marry outside their race once they achieve mainstream success and wealth.
- Middle School Roots: Supporters, however, pushed back hard against the backlash, noting that Marcus and Gracie’s relationship began long before Hollywood fame, when the two were just sixth-grade classmates sitting at lunch benches together.
Watching a child star grow up right before our eyes always gets the internet talking!
