Insecure's Issa Rae doesn't like to talk about her romantic life. She has mentioned in interviews a few times that her private life is no one else's business, even telling The Hollywood Reporter in August 2020, "Whose business is it? I realized I just don't like to be the subject of conversations if it doesn't have to do with my work." So it makes sense that we know very little about her husband, Louis Diame. We first knew about the couple's engagement after a couple of her Insecure costars spilled the news back in March 2019. Issa, on the other hand, has chosen not to share more on the topic or more about Louis, outside of announcing their marriage via Instagram on July 26, but we've been able to glean a teeny-tiny bit of info on the man who stole her heart.
