Relationships can have a privacy of their own and American comedian Abbi Jacobson proved it through a subtle display of an engagement ring on her finger at the premiere of her own TV series this year.聽
Jacobson made her red-carpet debut with her partner Jodi Balfour. Both ladies were photographed holding hands and standing proud and strong next to each other at the event.
Despite the black and white bliss photographs titled 鈥渓ooking at her鈥� and 鈥渕y love in London鈥� on Jacobson and Balfour鈥檚 Instagram pages, nobody guessed the truth until they made way to Jacobson鈥檚 A League of Their Own TV series premiere, sporting engagement rings. Abbi stars in this series, which she co-created alongside Will Graham.
‘It Was Not A Secret’
鈥淚t鈥檚 out. It鈥檚 great. We鈥檙e so happy,鈥� said Abbi鈥檚 friend D鈥橝rcy Carden who expressed her happiness at the good news and her love for Jodi.
Amid excitement from co-workers, Chant茅 Adams joked that Abbi was hiding the news of her engagement. However, Jacobson disagreed.
鈥淣o, you have not. You have not had to hide it. This was not a thing. It was not a secret,鈥� explained Jodi.
Being private is not the same as keeping it a secret. Abbi and Jodi were low-key from the start when they started dating in October 2020. Abbi marked their one-year anniversary in 2021 when she posted a picture of her kissing her girlfriend on the cheek.
鈥淥ne year with this incredible human. Don鈥檛 know how I got so lucky,鈥� the Broad City actress gushed.
Coming Out
Jacobson, 聽first came out in a 2018 Vanity Fair interview, and shared her coming out journey on an Instagram in June 2021.
鈥淥n this last day of Pride month, I鈥檓 stepping away from my sense of inadequacy, my fear of taking up room not meant for me, and my need to do this right鈥� to say how undeniably freeing it has been to finally embrace and explore my queerness; how flooded I feel with gratitude for how easy it鈥檚 been for me to share this with my community鈥nd that even though it took me a long time to get here, it feels like coming home to myself in a way that鈥檚 burst life right open.鈥�
鈥淗ope it鈥檚 been a happy month! I鈥檓 gonna keep celebrating,鈥� she concluded.
Her post this year was much simpler: A 鈥淗appy Pride鈥� caption underneath her adorable picture with Balfour.
