'Sister, Sister' Actor Marques Houston, 39, Marries Miya Dickey, 19, in Private Ceremony

Marques Houston, best known for his work as Roger Evans on the series Sister, Sister, is a married man!

The 39-year-old actor tied the knot with Miya Dickey, 19, in a private ceremony that was held on Monday (August 24) at the Eagle Glen Golf Club in Corona, Calif.

People reports that the guest list was kept small due to the pandemic, with some of those in attendance being Marques‘ bandmates from Immature, Jerome Jones and Kelton Kessee.

The couple got engaged back in June and Marques spoke out at the time to defend his and Maya‘s big age difference.

While sharing photos from the wedding day, Maya wrote, “So happy and privileged to call you my Husband! I love you so much baby, and will always cherish you and be the wife Jehovah wants me to be and the wife you deserve because you deserve nothing but the best. I can’t promise perfection but I can promise that everyday I’ll try to be a better person. I love you, forever isn’t long enough.”

Marques wrote, “We can’t believe the day has finally come! The day when the two of us were bonded together before Jehovah to become one. Jehovah has blessed us with a true happiness that is unmatched!”

'Sister, Sister' Actor Marques Houston, 38, Defends Engagement to 19-Year-Old Fiancee

Marques Houston, who played Roger Evans on the series Sister, Sister, is defending his engagement to fiancee Miya Dickey, who is half his age.

The 38-year-old actor and singer says that he met Miya in 2018 while attending a Jehovah’s Witness convention, where she “became friends” with the daughter of his manager Chris Stokes.

“I met Miya in 2018 through a mutual friend. Never before then, did I even know she existed. The fact that she was listed on one of our films was a misprint or someone being messy. Anyone can post on IMDB. And there’s no way someone that young could even work on a film set in the position of Art Directer because that position requires years of experience,” Marques wrote on Instagram.

He continued, “Miya is like a daughter to Chris Stokes because we are all like family. Being a Jehovah’s Witness, we all showcase true love like family. That’s it. Chris’ real daughter, Chrissy Morales became friends with Miya in 2018, where we all first met Miya at a Jehovah’s Witness convention. It was then that Chrissy and Miya became friends.”

Marques then explained the story about how he and Miya became a couple.

Miya and I didn’t start dating until she was an adult. We fell in love and got engaged in March of 2019. My dad Michael loves her, and the people I am closest to all love her as well. Most importantly we have Jehovahs blessing 😁 There is so much more to be concerned about in the world, than creating rumors about me. No one ever gets facts anymore, they just run with ‘stories,’ but hey, I guess it comes with the territory 🤷🏾‍♂️. So to all the rumors about me, none of it is true! And that’s the story,” he wrote.
