Both were classically trained performers long before they took to the screen.

Both have also received their fair share of acclaim and awards.

However, Brabson never appeared in"Brooklyn Nine-Nine,“despite her marriage to star Andre Braugher.

She has also created, produced, and starred in two one-woman Off-Broadway shows.

When the show ran in Baltimore, Braugher enthusiastically promoted it onInstagram.

It was all the more special, then, when they did acknowledge each other’s achievements online.

Perhaps that was the secret to the Braughers' marriage too.

Andre Braugher was utterly devoted to his wife, often relying on her for advice.

She knows me like the back of her hand, and I’m grateful for that.”

In a heartbreaking twist of fate, Braugher reportedly died shortly before their 32nd wedding anniversary.
