Kellie Shanygne Willams, 33, who spent nine seasons fighting off uber-nerd Steve Urkel (portrayed by Jaleel White) on ABC’s “Family Matters,” recently married Hannibal Jackson, a former military reservist, according to The Washington Post. The couple, who met in 2007 through a mutual friend, married on September 5 at Ebenezer AME Church in Ft. Washington, Maryland in a ceremony with a black and white theme. Telma Hopkins, who portrayed lovable Aunt Rachel on “Family Matters,” was among the 300 guests who attended the nuptials.-P.H.B.
