Straight from the glitz of Broadway to a cozy Italian restaurant, Renée Elise Goldsberry, the celebrated star of ‘Girls5eva,’ marks her 22nd wedding anniversary with her husband, Alexis Johnson, in an unexpectedly low-key manner.
While attending the opening of ‘All In: Comedy About Love’ in New York City, Goldsberry shared in a candid chat how she, along with her husband and their kids, celebrated their special milestone with a simple dinner. The choice of the evening was a ‘pretty mediocre Italian restaurant,’ as Goldsberry humorously noted, catering to her children’s love for equally simple pasta dishes.
December has always held a special significance for Goldsberry and Johnson. Having tied the knot back in December 2002, they have been an inspiring couple ever since. The actress, known for her remarkable Broadway performances, reflects on how participating in the light-hearted romantic play strengthens her appreciation for her own family life. She admitted, ‘No matter how beautiful the story about love that I get to tell [in the play], it always makes me even more grateful for what I have at home.’
On social media, Goldsberry didn’t hold back from expressing her love, posting a heartfelt message on Instagram. Sharing touching images from their wedding day alongside family photos, she celebrated their journey together with her attorney husband. ’22 years of marriage to my best friend and my greatest inspiration,’ she wrote, adding plenty of affection and pride in how much their children have grown.
Over the years, Goldsberry has opened up about balancing her demanding career with motherhood. Speaking previously about her children, Benjamin and Brielle, she said, ‘My greatest wish for my children is that they fulfill their purpose.’ Balancing a thriving stage career with bedtime stories has been a challenge, yet Goldsberry manages it all with grace. ‘If there was a way to clone myself, and be at every parent-teacher meeting and be there to put my kids to bed every single night, and also star on Broadway, that’s what I would do,’ she expressed.
Despite the hustle and bustle of her career and the complexity of family life, Goldsberry remains grateful. Her presence alongside her family at the theater opening highlighted how personal and professional worlds can intersect harmoniously.
Renée Elise Goldsberry’s anniversary celebration is a testament to her down-to-earth nature, balancing her high-flying career with deep family values. It’s a refreshing reminder of what truly matters amid the glamor and stories of Broadway.
