This is probably not how J. Cole wanted his fans to find out, but the rapper is now a married man.
Cole was forced to reveal the big news during an interview at the #MLKNow event, which was held in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.
The director of Creed Ryan Coogler surprised viewers when he accidentally asked Cole, “How did getting married change you?” But what he didn’t realize is that the marriage hadn’t been publicly announced.
Cole was visibly caught off guard. “Oh, what is that?!” he said before awkwardly laughing it off. “That was like one thing to not do.”
“Nobody knows?” asked Coogler, to which Cole replied, “Well, they know now.”

The lucky woman is J. Cole’s college sweetheart Melissa Heholt. There had been rumors that the two were engaged, but their nuptials were kept secret until now.
