Sharing a carousel of pictures on Instagram from her wedding day, Platt’s caption read, “Sooooooo, we did a thang ya’ll! Woot woot!” She goes on to say, “So very grateful to all my family and my Nu family for the love and support and joy you all shared and poured out on us. Happy three-monthaversary baby! And a few days but who’s countin’??? Uhhh I am.”

As per their wedding website, Victoria and VJ got married in Dallas on December 7, 2024, close to 24 years after they first met.

The couple’s ‘Our Story’ section notes that the two were introduced in 1999 in New York when Victoria “unapologetically” stalked Vickie during WNBA’s second season as she played for NY Liberty.

The ladies had a nice friendship for a while, until “… life happened, as life does, and they both found adventure elsewhere for a couple of decades.”

Platt would end up marrying Terell Tilford, her Guiding Light co-star in 2001. The two left the soap that year, as well. Victoria and Terell share a daughter, Marley, and were wed for 20 years before divorcing in 2021.

As for VJ, she and Platt reconnected in February 2024 during a mutual friend’s birthday. While they had lost touch for many years, the moment they both saw each other in the New Orleans airport, they knew something was there.
