Raven addressed her sexuality publicly in 2013 after the US Supreme Court struck down a law barring federal recognition of same-sex marriage.
"I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you," she tweeted at the time.
She previously dated America's Next Top Model contestant AzMarie Livingston from 2012 to 2015.
When did they get married?
Raven introduced her wife to the world on June 18, 2020.
Donning a black loose-fitted suit, while Raven's wife looked radiant in an all-white ensemble, the actress declared her love for her bride on Instagram.
Raven first teased the marriage announcement earlier that month with a photo of a gorgeous wine glass, writing: “So something happened this week, that has changed my life FOR THE BETTER!”
Though the ceremony had to be “small during this time” probably because of coronavirus and social distancing guidelines, the Cheetah Girl thanked “all those who helped” put the magical day together for her and her new wife.
The Atlanta native uploaded a photo of the brides to Instagram, announcing: “I got married to a woman who understands me from trigger to joy, from breakfast to midnight snack, from stage to home.
“I love you Mrs. Pearman-Maday! Let’s tear this world a new a**hole!!!"

Their marriage announcement was met with a chorus of congratulations.
At the time, Adrienne Bailon, her former View colleague, wrote, “CONGRATULATIONS,” to which Raven replied, “Thanks boo, took me forever, but I’m in the club now!”
Her Raven’s Home family also sent their love, with Jason Maybaum giving some heart emojis, Sky Katz some heart eyes, and Issac Ryan Brown some flames and mind-blown emojis.
After recently mending a years-long tense relationship, Cheetah Girls co-star Kiely Williams wished Raven all the best, writing: “Wishing you both a lifetime of love, joy, and laughter.”
What did Raven say about Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill?
In March 2022, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the "Don't Say Gay" bill into law, prohibiting class discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity for those in kindergarten through the third grade.
Following the controversial signing, a number of celebrities voiced their concerns about it, including Raven.
During an appearance on the 3rd hour of TODAY, Raven stated that if there is a bill that prohibits the discussion of sexual orientation, there should be a "Don't Say Straight" bill too.
“I’m going to say this, and this is my thing: If there’s a ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, there should be a ‘Don’t Say Straight’ bill,” the actress said.
She later went on to add that the new law could be damaging to those with parents in the LGBTQ+ community.
“It’s not fair, and there are multiple kinds of humans in this world, and you are ruining the psyche, the confidence of so many young children because you are discrediting their parents, the people they love, the people that raised them, the people that teach them the manners when they walk into that schoolroom,” she continued.
“So if you’re not going to honor their family, your family shouldn’t be honored either.”
Disney also released a statement about the bill after they were slammed for not speaking sooner.
“Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that,” the statement reads, via TODAY.
