A bundled up Jurnee Smollett and her soul singer husband, Josiah Bell walked around hand-in-hand on the set of her upcoming Tyler Perry’s film, The Marriage Counselor in New Orleans, LA…
The Great Debaters actress will be taking on the lead role and will be acting alongside Lance Gross, Vanessa Williams, Brandy Norwood and Kim Kardashian. The Marriage Counselor is expected to hit movie theaters in 2012. Definitely look forward to the film. Good to see her husband there for support. Let’s give it up for love!

She use to be on full house right? Love her <3
She also had her own show with her sibilings and was on eve’s bayuo before her recent success.
She had a show with her siblings? I didn’t know what, what station did it air on?
I remember that show!!! Their parents had passed away and their older brother (who was actually the only one who was not an actual sibling; he is a comedian (forget his name)) was raising them. Jurnee must’ve been around 9 or 10 years old then (???).
The series centered on seven brothers and sisters (all of whom have names that start with “J”) in the O’Fallon Park neighborhood of St. Louis who lose their parents and are being raised by the eldest brother, Josh Jerrico (Ralph Louis Harris). The early episodes focused on the siblings attempting to not be split up by authorities. This leads to Josh, the eldest brother who was trying to raise the family alone, to dress in drag and pose as older guardian, Aunt Jelcinda (also known as “Mama J”), to fool their case worker, Alana Michaels (Kimberley Kates). Alana quickly sees through the charade, but decides to help the family stay together. Alana and the family attempt to fool Alana’s boss, Mr. Ormsby (Roger Aaron Brown), that “Mama J” is actually taking care of the family. Problems arise when Mr. Ormsby becomes enamored with “Mama J” and pursues her. Ultimately, “Mama J” tells Mr. Ormsby that she cannot enter into a relationship with him because she is focused on the well being of the children.
In December 1994, the series was put on hiatus and retooled. When it returned to the air in March 1995, Josh was granted full custody of his siblings thus ending the need for the Aunt Jelcinda/Mama J character. The characters of Alana Michaels and Mr. Ormsby were also written out of the show, and a new character, Scotti Decker (T’Keyah Crystal Keymáh) was introduced. Scotti, a young, attractive professional contractor, rented a room from the Jerricos in order to help the family make ends meet.
Having aired on Sunday nights at 7:30/6:30c during the first half of the season, On Our Own was granted the 8:30/7:30c time slot following Family Matters on TGIF when it returned in March 1995 (temporarily bumping Boy Meets World off the schedule). The changes to the series in the spring didn’t help ratings, and after six more episodes, the show was canceled by ABC.[2]
So it was a sitcom, not a reality show.
WHEN THE HELL DID SHE GET MARRIED!!!!!
Exactly when did she get married. Love her, the show with her family was on the TGIF line up? Kinda like the partridge family.
THEY IS NOT BLACK
REAL BLACK PPL ARE DARK SKINNED LIKE LANCE GROSS OR TYRESE AND AIN’T MIXED LOOKING LIKE OBAMA!
-____- GTFO
I’m glad to see her acting more. Her husband looks gay. There is a lot of sugar in his tank.
CHOCOLATE MAN chill out dude, “black” has many shades, both of my parents are black and I came out yellow, my cousin has dark skin and both her parents have lighter skin. There is no “pure” race in this country or even the world and dark skin does not mean that you are purely from one culture nor does it mean that you can’t have children with different colors. There was a Nigerian couple that gave birth to a blue eyed, blonde hair baby girl and she was not albino. IT”S JUST SKIN!!!! You can’t fight racism by being a racist or a colorist. Yes there is racism but I would if you used all that energy to build of a positive outlook your community, which I am sure is not just one shade, that would be one less person spreading ignorance and hatred in a world that has more than enough already.
Well said!
And if you do have a child that comes out lighter than you, would you love them any less?
no. ni**as would love them more. smh. black people up. ni**as down.
LET ME SAY JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS OF A LIGHT COLOR DONT MEAN THEY ARE MIXED I NO I AM LIGHT SKINNED SO GET THE FUKK OUTTA HEAR WITH THAT
Friday Night Lights <3 <3
We need to look into that husband a bit more
Lol I agree. She needa be with someone like Lance Gross he so fine and he looks like man & don’t look related to her lol Maybe Jurnee & her gay husband want to have cute kids so that’s why they pretending cuz they will have done adorable babies if u ask me
What is up with this? That’s Josiah Bell from detroit. He Used to sleep with Elijah Kelley and Brandon T. Jackson. EEEEVerybody knows that in Detroit. Jurnee what are you doing?
Daaaamn. I just read this. For real?
Jurnee and her siblings have an African-American mother and a Jewish father. Now let it go. Obviously the girl self identifies as black.
They’re black people obviously why are people so ignorant! But I will say that I’ve seen a couple pictures of the couple and he does look very gay! Just my opinion. He looks like he is her brothers first of all & he isn’t manly enough.
Maybe it’s a publicity stunt? Like alot of actors do now days.
