However, she posted on her Instagram on Sunday, September 12 that she was very much in love.
“‘When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.’ – When Harry Met Sally,” she wrote in her post.
“For some of us, it can feel like we spend our whole lives waiting for our special someone.
“My heart, my love – I’m so happy my life started last year with you,” she wrote.
“You’re the best thing that ever happened to me,” she concluded.
The post included a photo of her and Sweeting that appeared to be on their wedding day.
Sweeting also posted about his wife on his Instagram.
“One year ago I married this gorgeous, talented and incredible woman,” he wrote.
“This past year has made me appreciate the fragile nature of life and the importance of living it.
“At a time where the world is upside down, we learned to find joy and peace in each other. You are the greatest person I know and I’m proud to be your husband,” he concluded with a happy anniversary hashtag. The post also included a few pictures of the happy couple.
According to People, the couple said “I do” with a ceremony in New York.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Uzo said: “Some of the issues that are discussed on the show and in that time in history [have] a lot of sharp echoes to today.”
She said the show was rooted in truth where possible.
