Sterling K. Brown is one of Hollywood’s shining stars and after his history-making SAG Award win on Sunday he became the first African American male to receive the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama. While Brown is winning big this awards season, we wanted to shine the spotlight on his most important win of all — a happy marriage and supportive partnership with fellow actor, Ryan Michelle Bathe. Have you seen the way they look at each other? Allow us to break it down.
