Months after the National Enquirer first broke the news that former child star Raven Symone was in a lesbian relationship with model AzMarie Livingston, the mag is now reporting the two are planning to ge married!
As if that wasn’t shocking enough, the Enquirer is claiming Raven, 26, wants the first lady Michelle Obama to officiate her wedding. For realz!
Apparently Raven feels she is now BFFs with the Obamas after meeting the first family backstage following one of her recent performances in “Sister Act” on Broadway, and finding out the entire family — including President Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha – had been fans since her days Disney’s “That’s So Raven.”
After meeting the first family, Raven shared her genius plans with live-in girlfriend AzMarie, 24, whom she is planning to wed in New York, where same-sex marriage is legal.
“Raven wants a big, splashy affair, and she REALLY wants Michelle to officiate,” says a source. “Knowing how the Obamas have become firm believers in marriage equality, Raven didn’t hesitate to ask her reps to send a letter to Michelle asking if she’d get temporary credentials to legally marry AzMarie and her.”
Raven is reportedly planning to marry AzMarie after Labor Day as her Broadway run comes to an end in late August.
“Raven wants nothing more than to marry her beautiful girlfriend,” the source adds. “She’s hoping that because the Obama girls are such big fans that Michelle will agree to perform the ceremony – and maybe even use the event to promote the president’s stand on same-sex marriage.”
