Hey, what’s up you guys it’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News,
and it seems a celebration is in order because Liz Gillies,
Ariana Grande's best friend, is MARRIED! Ariana and Liz’s friendships goes WAYYYY
back to 2007 when they both met on the Broadway musical “13.”
That friendship then crossed over into their hit Nickelodeon show, “Victorious.”
And while navigating the ins and outs of Hollywood at such a young age, the two stayed
close and even lived together for a bit. Back in 2013 Ari shared, “She lived in my
mom’s house with me. It was so much fun!” Now that’s a sleepover I wish I was invited to!
After going their separate ways career-wise the two stuck together while Liz pursued
her role in the CW’s “Dynasty” while Ari went off to become… well, Ariana Grande.
And Liz made it clear back in 2015, that this dynamic duo isn’t going anywhere anytime soon
saying, “She’s like blood to me, she’s like my sister. So, unless we have a massive falling out,
nothing will be happening there.” Liz also made a special appearance
in Ariana’s famous “Thank You, Next” music video portraying Cady Herron from “Mean Girls.”
But, that wasn’t her first time appearing in her bestie’s music video. Back in 2013,
she made a guest appearance in Ari’s “Right There” video.
Basically what I’m trying to say is that there is nothing
separating these two lifelong friends, and they know it too!
That’s why when it came time for Liz to marry her producer husband Michael Corcoran,
we imagine Ariana definitely played a part in their big day socially distanced or not.
Liz shared THESE stunning photos of her most perfect day.
According to online reports Liz and Michael have been together for six years,
and with her filming away in Atlanta she was sure to make things work saying “Once Dynasty
got picked up for a third season, I not-so-subtly suggested that he relocate so that we could start
a new chapter in Atlanta. Luckily, he agreed, and we bought a house together. He’s a California guy
through and through, so it was a big deal for him to leave L.A. and move to the Southeast.”
While speaking with Vogue about the moment he popped the question,
she shared exactly how it went down saying, “When we got there, he started leading me
down to the backyard. I had no idea what he was doing. All of a sudden he got down on one knee
and proposed to me right there. I was totally surprised. It was a perfect proposal.”
The couple originally planned to get married on April 25, 2020, which side note is the birthday
of their bulldog Otis.. CUTE!!! Well, like many soon-to-be married couples across the country,
Liz and Michael were forced to make the tough call to postpone.
Liz said of the postponement, “It was a no-brainer for us.
Aside from the obvious travel and crowd restrictions, it didn’t feel right to be
celebrating in such a big way when there was so much going on in the world. It would have
been in poor taste to burden people by asking them to risk their lives to come
to our wedding. There were more important things to focus on. Our wedding could wait.”
But, the longer they waited, the more they realized they didn’t want the
big ceremony and ended up exchanging their vows in a more intimate setting.
And now, it seems as though the couple is elated that it
all worked out and the two are happily married.
Following the news, the Twitterverse took matters into their own hands to
try and explain their excitement and even had “Liz Gilles” trending on twitter.
One user wrote, “I didn't even know Liz Gillies had a boyfriend and now she's married. Well I'm
surprised but not that much cause privacy is the most important thing so CONGRATS LOTS OF LOVE!”
Another person wrote,
Liz Gillies was just gonna get married and not tell anybody or anything, I admire that.”
And “liz gillies is happy. she married the man she loves. i’m happy she’s happy”
But it seems some fans are not thrilled with this news because some users on Twitter strongly
disagreed with the marriage with one user writing “liz gillies marrying a guy that has worked with
her since she was 15 and he was already in his mid 30s not really sitting right with me .....”
As well as “just found out liz gillies got married to one of the music producers from victorious,
she was 15 when she met him and he was 36”
And “liz gillies married a 47 yr old man?”
It appears there are two sides of feelings about this marriage. We just want to say
that we here at Clevver, wish Liz and her new husband nothing but the best.
