In fact, Betts reposted a video shared by Nash in 2016, in which the latter praised her partner's musical talent. "Jessica Betts is an artist that feeds your soul," Nash said in the video. "I love you, Jessica!"

And before the couple got married to each other, the Daytime Emmy Award-winning host was previously married twice — first to Don Nash from 1994 to 2007, and later, she tied the knot with Jay Tucker in 2011.

Nash's divorce from Tucker was finalized on March 10, 2020. The wedding, however, is reportedly the first for Betts, who publicly stated she didn’t fully understand her orientation [as a lesbian] until she dated Nash.
