SISTER, Sister actor Marques Houston married fiance Miya Dickey on Monday in a small ceremony at Eagle Glen Golf Club in Corona, California.
The 39-year-old defended his relationship with his 19-year-old wife just a couple of months ago after rumors swirled about when they had started dating.
Marques told fans at the time: “No twists, no turns, no scandals, just true love. There is nothing that can come to light, because there’s no darkness in my life.”
Now, he’s taken his true love to the next level and gotten hitched.
According to Us Weekly, the guest list amid the coronavirus pandemic included the groom’s Immature bandmates, Jerome Jones and Kelton Kessee, and recording artist MAJOR.
The latter surprised everyone with a performance of Miya’s favorite song, Why I Love You.
Last month, the bride had a virtual shower with a bunch of her friends and family.
She wrote on Instagram: “Literally the best friends/ bridal party I could ever ask for.
“Thank you guys for setting this lil quarantine bridal shower up for me.
“And thank you to everyone who sent me gifts or just popped on the zoom call to show support and love!!! Love you all so much!”
Marques and Miya, who changed her name on Instagram to Miya Houston earlier this year, confirmed their relationship in October 2018, and he proposed to her in March 2019.
In June, Marques defended their 20-year age difference after rumors hit social media that they began dating when she was underage.
In a long statement on Instagram, he shared that he believed his love life shouldn’t be a topic of conversation “with all that’s going on in the world” but that he wanted to ensure the facts had been published.
The film producer said: “I met Miya in 2018 through a mutual friend. Never before then, did I even know she existed.”
“Miya is like a daughter to Chris Stokes because we are all like family,” he added, writing: “Being a Jehovah’s Witness, we all showcase true love like family. That’s it. Chris’ real daughter, Chrissy Morales became friends with Miya in 2018, where we all first met Miya at a Jehovah’s Witness convention.
“It was then that Chrissy and Miya became friends. Miya and I didn’t start dating until she was an adult. We fell in love and got engaged in March of 2019.

“My dad Michael loves her, and the people I am closest to all love her as well. Most importantly we have Jehovahs blessing.”
He continued: “I don’t have anything to hide, so if you’re waiting for something else, you will be waiting for ever.
“Please people focus on staying safe through this pandemic. And continue fighting for what you believe in, as long as it is true justice, and the fight is with love, not hate, because we all matter to God.”
